Filter by:Burn injuries are related to longer hospital stay. Patients who have a burned child are affected prolonged hospitalization. Social life and quality of life are affected by burn injuries. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of burn injury on parents.
The aims and objectives of the clinical feasibility trial are: - to investigate the potential for VR to reduced perceived pain and anxiety during painful dressings changes in a small sample of burns patients; - to measure the impact of the interventions on objective indicators of pain and distress during dressing changes within the small sample - to assess pain medication use during virtual reality interventions - to compare the above effects and experiences across two conditions within each participant: an active version of a virtual reality intervention, and a 'control' condition of no intervention; - to assess the perceived usability, acceptability, engagement with and enjoyment of the virtual reality intervention to the patients - to consider the apparent feasibility of the virtual reality intervention within a Burns Unit inpatient setting during painful dressing changes 4. Design This is an exploratory feasibility study with a small clinical sample of burns patients and staff caring for them, in a single burns unit setting, employing mixed methods and a repeated measures design to achieve the aims set out above.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are the most common nosocomial infections in critically ill patients and are responsible for high morbidity rates, increased hospital stays and associated costs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether active drain line clearance by the Accuryn Monitoring System reduces the incidence of CAUTI in hospitalized patients requiring catheters.
This retrospective study characterizes the clinical course and identifies four independent predictors of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) after burn injury (post-burn ARDS; pbARDS). In addition, a clinically useful prognostic score for pbARDS is introduced (ARDS burn score), which was derived from these independent predictors. The newly developed score may be helpful for the development of specific treatment strategies.
the study evaluates the role of autologous fat grafting and the usage of nanofat in the treatment of the acute burn injuries in different genders and its influences on the healing time and hospital stay, pain control, the need and take of a split thickness skin graft and its size, and the end resulting early scarring, in comparison with control group that were treated with traditional methods, so as to find out new method of treating burn injuries and decreasing its morbidity.
Burning mouth ( BMS) syndrome is the oral disorder characterized by an intraoral burning sensation for which no medical or dental cause can be found. The Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society (IHS) defines (BMS) as an ''intraoral burning or dysaesthetic sensation, recurring daily for more than 2 hours per day over more than 3 months, without clinically evident causative lesions''. (BMS) is a common, chronic problem that has a negative impact on quality of life. A wide variety of medications have been proposed for treating (BMS) both topical and systemic. Unfortunately, no treatment seems to offer assured results. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by the pineal gland. It has soporific effects with oral administration and is well tolerated. It enhances sleep Melatonin also may help sleep disturbances associated with (BMS) ; however, this remains to be proven.
This study evaluates the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury on the week that they will be discharge from the hospital. Healthy subjects will be evaluated for pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength.
Thirty patients with unilateral burn injury, and 60 healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded. Gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle). will be recorded via computerized system. And gait symmetry will be calculated via formule. Participants' kinesiophobia level will be evaluated with Tampa kinesiophobia scale. Their pain will be assessed by visual analog scale. Their arm swing will be evaluated by a scale.
The purpose of this research study is to find our if human amnion membrane powder can be safely used as a covering for wounds and can improve the condition of skin graft donor sites. The amnion powder product is composed of "lyophilized" (freeze-dried), "gamma irradiation sterilized" (exposed to bacteria killing radiation) fragments of amniotic membrane.
The purpose of the study was to find out the effectiveness of the Deep Breathing Exercises and Incentive Spirometry in Second degree inhalation Burn patients and to find out best effective method.It was a Randomized Control Trial performed on the patients of Pakistan Institute of Management Sciences hospital Islamabad for duration of 06 months after approval of synopsis.30 patients of second degree inhalation burns between the age of 20-50 years having good pre burn respiratory state and irrespective of gender discrimination who were currently on nasal cannula were randomly allocated in control and experimental groups.However all unconscious patients other than second degree inhalation burn and having comorbidities were excluded. The conventional treatment with steam inhalation and nebulization followed by Incentive spirometry with 10-15cycles and the treatment session lasts for 35-45 minutes for a period of 07 days with two sessions of this protocol were given to control group each day.For experimental group patients were made to perform different types of deep breathing exercises with 5-10 repetitions for a period of 07days with two sessions of this treatment protocol each day. Self structured questionnaires with informed consents were used to assess the data on day 00 and day 07 by Physiotherapist.The data was then analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.The results were then formulated using statistical analysis and then were arranged in different tables and graphs.
