Over 40,000 patients in the United States (US) require hospitalization for burns annually. The treatment regimen can cost more than $6,000 a day and requires the use of numerous supplies to ensure the graft takes for successful wound healing. Irrigation of the wound is a critical step for burn treatment, yet little is known about the cost-effectiveness of different irrigation modalities.

Article Synopsis
- Topical wound care after burns has changed how injuries are treated by using dressings that help prevent infections and promote healing while considering factors like pain and dressing change frequency.
- This study looked at pain levels and opioid use related to different wound dressings, such as silver sulfadiazine, manuka honey, and negative-pressure wound therapy.
- Results showed silver sulfadiazine typically resulted in lower pain scores and less opioid use compared to other dressings, suggesting the need for more detailed studies to better understand their impacts on pain management.
Fighting A New Front On An Old Battlefield: Examining the Development of Topical Antimicrobial Care to Control Burn Wound Sepsis.

Recognition of invasive burn wound sepsis as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in burn injured patients has profoundly changed the management of burn wounds and its associated complications. The development of effective topical antimicrobial therapy is one of the last major developments of modern burn care and has been driven by major world events and scientific breakthroughs. Topical antimicrobial burn care has evolved from the use of anecdotal remedies to scientific breakthroughs such as Moyer's successful dilution of silver nitrate solution, Fox's described benefit of silver sulfadiazine use in animal models, and Pruitt's dramatic improvement in post-burn mortality using topical mafenide acetate in burn wounds.

Since burn wound infections caused by (PA) lead to major complications and sepsis, this study evaluates the antimicrobial efficacy of the wound irrigation solutions Prontosan (PRT), Lavanox (LAV), citric acid (CA) and mafenide acetate (MA) using microbiology assays and an ex vivo skin wound model. In suspension assays, all the solutions showed significant reductions in bacterial number (log reduction: CA 5.77; LAV 4.

Mafenide acetate (Sulfamylon) is a topical antimicrobial agent with a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Since mafenide acetate has the ability to penetrate the burn eschar, it was preferred in the treatment of infected full-thickness skin grafts.
