简要总结
This study plans to look at the benefits of banana leaves as a primary burn wound dressing. Study patients will be compared to historical patients
详细描述
Historically, banana leaves have been used as a burn wound dressing in developing countries. Current literature on banana leaf dressings is limited to predominantly pediatric patients and surgical wounds (i.e. skin graft donor sites). The comparison dressing is often other non-standard burn dressings (e.g. boiled potato peel bandage) and these studies are almost exclusively performed in tropical locations where banana plants grow naturally (Africa and Asia). To date, no study on the effectiveness of banana leaf dressings has been done in the United States, nor has there been a focus on their effectiveness in second degree partial thickness burns. Our pilot study aims to establish the feasibility of using banana leaf dressings for second degree partial thickness burn wounds in adult patients, in a geographic location that does not support natural banana agriculture.

研究组 & 干预措施
Banana leaf dressing
Participants will be treated with banana leaf as a primary non-adherent dressing on their burn wounds
干预措施: Banana leaf dressing (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Pain scores, as measured using Number Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: Before, during and after each wound care session during hospitalization, approximately 14 days
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a unidimensional subjective measure of pain intensity in adults, consisting of a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "worst pain imaginable" (or "worst possible pain").
次要结局
- Total use of opioids and benzodiazepines during wound care sessions(During hospitalization, approximately 14 days)
- Time to wound closure(During hospitalization or at follow-up in clinic, approximately within 1 month)
- Skin graft rate(During hospitalization, approximately 14 days)
- Burn wound infection rate(During hospitalization, approximately 14 days)
- Number of participants with at least one adverse event(End of study (1 year))
