We have used various dressings for burn wound healing. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of using hypochloride and betadine dressings on burn wound healing done.
Methods: Patients aged 18-45 years 20-45% who are hospitalized whit burns were treatmented hypochlorite and povidone were placed in two groups. Both groups had a bandaged face, and wound dressing daily until complete healing was achieved. When the wound is pink and translucent appearance, no spatter and has been lining the wound healing was considered. Time require healing of the graft and the graft area were declared by the surgeon and recorded.
Findings: In this study 50 patients had burns of criteria. Fisher’s exact test showed that the nead to graft in hypochlorite was significantly lower than Iodine group (P=0.04).Independent t-test showed that the average extent of graft in hypochloride group was significantly lower than Iodine group.
Conclusion: Results showed that the use of hypochlorite reduces the duration of hospitalization and treatment costs and reduces healing time and the need for graft.
