The Effect of Two Versus Ten Days Application of Flammacerium in Partial Thickness Burns

Burns Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Two Versus Ten Days Application of Flammacerium in Partial Thickness Burns

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the proposed study is to assess whether the application of flammacerium for 2 days is as good as, or even better than, the application of flammacerium for 10 days regarding woundhealing in partial thickness burns.

Clinical Trial Description

Cerium is suggested to halt the cytokine cascade ensuing burn injury by binding the 'burn toxin' and, when used in combination with silver-sulfadiazine, may enhance its antibacterial effect. Since 1984, the combination of cerium and silver sulfadiazine, flammacerium, has been used in our centre. Current practice is to treat acute, non-facial, burns with daily cleaning and (re-)application of flammacerium for a total of ten days. However, prolonged application of cerium is thought to be unnecessary - it is effective in the early stages after injury- and prolonged application of silver sulfadiazine has a negative effect on wound healing. The objective of the proposed study is therefore, to assess whether the application of flammacerium for 2 days is as good as, or even better than, the application of flammacerium for 10 days regarding woundhealing in partial thickness burns. ;
