Immunonutrition Supplementation for Improved Burn Wound Healing in Older Adults

Burn Wound Clinical Trial

Official title:
Immunonutrition Supplementation for Improved Burn Wound Healing in Older Adults

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility of providing immunonutrition supplementation to older burn patients (age 55 and older) and its impact on burn wound healing. Supplements containing arginine and omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to have beneficial effects on healing in other types of wounds but data within the burn population remains limited. 20 participants will be randomized into two arms, immunonutrition or conventional supplement and can expect to be on study for 3 months.

Clinical Trial Description

Studies performed previously in burn patients have had mixed patient cohorts with small sample sizes and these have failed to show any large improvements in wound healing. However, in older populations the investigators suspect that immunonutrition supplements may have a larger benefit to these patients as they often present with malnutrition and are more likely to struggle with delayed wound healing. In this pilot study, the investigators look to assess the impact of immunonutrition supplements the burn wound healing of adults over the age of 55 years with 1-15% total burn surface area (TBSA) partial thickness and full thickness burn injuries. The primary outcome objective of the study will be time to complete wound closure. The secondary objectives include need for surgical grafting, length of inpatient stay, and infections including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, wound infections, and blood stream infections. ;
