Protocol for a feasibility, acceptability and safety study of the PICO device (negative pressure wound therapy) in acute paediatric burns.
BMJ Open
May 2023
Faculty of Health, Griffith University, Southport, Queensland, Australia.
Introduction: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in acute burn care may decrease the time to re-epithelialisation by more than 20%. Despite this, the perceived burden of use; including therapeutic, physical and financial, have limited the use of NPWT in acute burn care. This might be minimised by using the small, ultraportable, single-use NPWT device PICO as opposed to larger devices, which to date has never been studied in acute burn care.

Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is a method used to assess body composition and fluid distribution. As a technology for measurement of fluid shifts during acute burn resuscitation, there are potential barriers to its use due to the location of wounds. This study aimed to determine whether alternate electrode positions were a suitable alternative compared to standardized (manufacturer) positions in moderate to large size burns for the measurement of BIS resistance and fluid changes.

July 2015
Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Objective: To report the cost-effectiveness of a tailored handheld computerized procedural preparation and distraction intervention (Ditto) used during pediatric burn wound care in comparison to standard practice.
Methods: An economic evaluation was performed alongside a randomized controlled trial of 75 children aged 4 to 13 years who presented with a burn to the Royal Children's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Participants were randomized to either the Ditto intervention (n = 35) or standard practice (n = 40) to measure the effect of the intervention on days taken for burns to re-epithelialize.
Antimicrobial dressings: Comparison of the ability of a panel of dressings to prevent biofilm formation by key burn wound pathogens.

Unlabelled: Antimicrobial medicated dressings (AMD) are often used to reduce bacterial infection of burns and other wounds. However, there is limited literature regarding comparative efficacies to inform effective clinical decision making.
Objectives: Following on from a previous study where we demonstrated good antibiofilm properties of acetic acid (AA), we assessed and compared the in vitro anti-biofilm activity of a range of AMDs and non-AMDs to AA.
In-vitro Activity of Honey and Topical Silver in Wound Care Management.

Nursing College, Changchun University of Chinese Medicine, Changchun, China.
Background: With the rise of multidrug resistance among pathogens, especially in wound care management is of great concern. Hence, we designed to study the in-vitro activity of topical agents honey and silver against wound infection and compares silver and honey dressings used in wound care.
Methods: 172 isolates from burn and surgical wounds were isolated from patients admitted to Nursing College, Changchun University Of Chinese Medicine, China during 2013-2014 are included in the study.
