Abstract Introduction Strategies to remove necrotic tissue from burn wounds include excisional and non-excisional debridement. Alternative treatments could promote burn wound healing while minimizing patient discomfort and the need for surgery. We evaluated the usage of a concentrated surfactant gel (CSG) to promote burn wound healing in those with indeterminate depth and full thickness burn injuries. Methods An IRB approved retrospective study was conducted during a 10-patient new product trial period with enrollment between September and October 2019. Patients included in this study had indeterminate or full thickness burn wounds and were treated with a concentrated surfactant-based gel. Patients with non-burn diagnoses were excluded. Data collected included demographic information, injury descriptors, and additional burn wound characteristics. Results A total of 10 patients were included in this study as part of a new product trial. The subjects were 80% male with an average TBSA of 7.5%. 40% had indeterminate and 60% had full thickness burn wounds. Prior to initiation of the CSG, the burn wounds had been open for an average of 41 days. There were no infections or complications with usage of the CSG. 90% of patients reported less pain than the standard of care topical agents for burns. Average duration of treatment with the CSG until healing was 28 days. After usage of the CSG, no patients required surgery. Conclusions Our findings support the usage of a concentrated surfactant-based gel in patients with burn wounds. Patients reported decreased pain during dressing changes and ease of use compared to the standard topical agent in burn care. It also prevented surgical debridement in those with indeterminate and full thickness burn injuries.

Abstract Introduction Accurate burn assessment is crucial to prescribing appropriate treatment and is dependent upon the experience of the provider and the timing of diagnosis relative to the burn injury evaluation. Differentiating between a deep partial thickness and full thickness burn may not be easily discernible. To augment the clinical diagnosis of burn depth, a laser doppler image measures the microvascular blood flow of injured tissue to predict burn wound healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical assessment of burn wounds by experienced burn providers compared to the laser doppler image assessment in predicting which burn wounds should heal spontaneously in 3 weeks. Methods A retrospective chart review from 2012–2016, included 54 subjects. The clinical assessment included a description of burn variables relevant to the determination of spontaneous burn wound healing (burn depth, total body surface area, mechanism of injury, anatomical location, clinical burn depth diagnosis, and laser doppler image). A chi-square analysis compared the clinical diagnosis and the laser doppler assessment of burn wound depth, as well as the correlation between clinical diagnosis versus laser doppler image in predicting spontaneous burn wound healing. Results Comparing partial thickness burn injuries, there were 38 clinically diagnosed partial thickness injuries (by experienced burn providers) and 38 partial thickness burn injures diagnosed via LDI. Deep partial thickness burn injuries were diagnosed clinically in 9 subjects, compared to 10 via LDI. Full thickness burn injuries were diagnosed clinically in 7 subjects and 6 via LDI. A chi-square test was performed to examine the relationship between clinical diagnosis of burn depth and laser doppler image. The relation between these variables was significant,X2= 26.884, p< .000. Comparing clinically diagnosed burn depth to LDI, each approach (clinical or LDI) diagnosed 42 subjects with partial thickness or deep partial thickness burn injuries and all healed spontaneously. Two of the clinically diagnosed full thickness burn injuries required skin grafting. Six patients were lost to follow-up (X2= 17.745, p < .001). Conclusions This study confirms there is no difference between an experienced burn provider’s clinical diagnosis of burn wound depth and prognosis for spontaneous healing compared to a laser doppler image prognosis of burn wound healing. Applicability of Research to Practice In an era of advanced technologies, expert clinical bedside assessment is the standard of care.

Burn Wound Healing

Burn wound healing involves a series of complex processes which are subject to intensive investigations to improve the outcomes, in particular, the healing time and the quality of the scar. Burn injuries, especially severe ones, are proving to have devastating effects on the affected patients. Stem cells have been recently applied in the field to promote superior healing of the wounds. Not only have stem cells been shown to promote better and faster healing of the burn wounds, but also they have decreased the inflammation levels with less scar progression and fibrosis. This review aims to highlight the beneficial therapeutic effect of stem cells in burn wound healing and to discuss the involved pathways and signaling molecules. The review covers various types of burn wound healing like skin and corneal burns, along with the alternative recent therapies being studied in the field of burn wound healing. The current reflection of the attitudes of people regarding the use of stem cells in burn wound healing is also stated.
