Background: Human Amniotic membrane has been used as a biological
dressing in the treatment of burns and the results were compared
with ordinary dressing (use of antibacterial cream, silver
sulfadiazine). The aim of this study was to compare the results of
treatment between usual dressings and amniotic membrane graft.
Materials and Methods: In this study 67 patients were randomly selected
and divided in two groups: control (conventional dressing) and
experimental (amniotic membrane graft). All of confounding factors
were alike in two groups.
Results: The mean age of patients was 28.15 years. Female and male
were 22.4% and 77.6% of patients respectively. There was a
significant lower duration of treatment, higher secondary albumin
level, lower dressing times, and lower morphine administration in
the experimental group (p< 0.0001).
Conclusion: These observations indicate that the amniotic membrane
can prevent water loss, acts as a barrier against contamination and
infection. So that, it aids the healing process and reduces morbidity
and mortality. We conclude that use of human amniotic membrane
as a biological dressing can be superior compared to conventional
dressing. |
