BiobraneTM for burns of the pubic region: minimizing dressing changes
摘要
Abstract
Background: The pubic region is often involved in accidental hot water or soup-spill burns. Most of these wounds are superficial partial thickness burns. Due to their proximity to the urinary system
as well as vaginal and anal openings
these burns are easily contaminated. Daily dressings are routinely prescribed as the sole treatment. The cumbersome dressing process is uncomfortable and embarrassing for patients. Biobrane
TM
is a bilayered biosynthetic dressing. Its coverage of superficial partial thickness burns promotes wound healing and allows one-time application.Case presentations: We report two patients who suffered superficial dermal burns over their pubic region. One patient had 23% total body surface area(TBSA) burns over her lower abdomen
both thighs and pubic region. The second patient had 10% TBSA burns that involved her perineum and the medial sides of both thighs and buttocks.Both were managed with the standard resuscitation protocol in the initial phase. Their burn injuries were managed by shaving
Foley catheterization and Biobrane
TM
coverage. Their wounds healed uneventfully without complications.Full epithelization was achieved by post-operative day seven. Both patients consented to medical photography and academic publication.Conclusions: Shaving and catheterization improved the hygiene of the burns of the pubic area. The Biobrane
TM
method circumvents the need of regular dressing changes
eliminating the pain due to dressing changes and preserving patient dignity.
