Abstract

Suprathel has been introduced in our centre since 2014 for superficial to deep partial thickness burns. To evaluate healing outcomes and usability of Suprathel in our paediatric population, we conducted a retrospective cohort study, including all paediatric patients treated with Suprathel for burn wounds since its introduction. The studied population consisted of 92 patients, with a mean age of 4 years [3 months −17 years]. The median wound healing time for the entire cohort was 12.5 days, with no significant differences between the age groups. If wounds were found to be colonized during treatment, the majority of pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (55.8 %). Seven percent of the patients required a split-thickness skin graft after approximately ten days. The use of Suprathel as epidermal dressing for treatment of partial thickness burns in the paediatric population demonstrates favourable adherence to the wound bed, and reduces the need for frequent dressing changes; the lack of increased wound infections underscore its benefits in paediatric burn care. Our findings suggest no significant differences in outcomes based on the timing of application, wound location, or wound bed preparation, and confirms its efficacy in mobile areas such as the hands.

Suprathel治疗小儿部分厚度烧伤的可用性和有效性：一项10年回顾性队列研究

自2014年以来，我们中心引入了Suprathel，用于治疗浅至深的部分厚度烧伤。为了评估Suprathel在儿科人群中的治疗效果和可用性，我们进行了一项回顾性队列研究，包括自Suprathel引入以来所有使用Suprathel治疗烧伤创面的儿科患者。研究人群包括92例患者，平均年龄为4岁[3个月- 17岁]。整个队列的中位伤口愈合时间为12.5天，年龄组之间无显著差异。如果在治疗过程中发现伤口有定植，大多数病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌（55.8% %）。大约10天后，7%的患者需要进行厚裂皮肤移植。在儿科人群中，使用Suprathel作为表皮敷料治疗部分厚度烧伤，表明有利于伤口床的粘附，并减少了频繁更换敷料的需要；伤口感染的减少强调了它在儿科烧伤护理中的益处。我们的研究结果表明，基于应用时间、伤口位置或伤口床准备的结果没有显着差异，并证实了其在可移动区域（如手部）的有效性。

期刊介绍： Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice. Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
