Use of Honey for Pressure Ulcers in Critically Ill Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The enrolled children would be randomized to one of the groups 'study group' or 'Honey dressing group' or 'Group I' (honey dressing containing Active Leptospermum Honey also known as Manuka honey would be used), changed every alternate day for a maximum period of upto 8 weeks (in cases of stage IV ulcers) or till healthy granulation tissue appears, whichever is earlier and 'control group' or 'Standard treatment group ' or 'Group 2' (paraffin gauze is applied after application of povidone iodine). Randomization will be performed as per protocol. Primary outcome will be reduction in time to healing of any stage of pressure ulcer and secondary outcomes will be treatment failure and new onset infection of ulcer.

Clinical Trial Description

Children admitted to the PICU would be eligible for inclusion. The interventions will be initiated within the hospital itself. All children will be managed as per standard treatment protocols of the unit for various disease conditions. The enrolled children would be randomized to one of the groups 'study group' or 'Honey dressing group' or 'Group I' (honey dressing containing Active Leptospermum Honey also known as Manuka honey would be used), changed every alternate day for a maximum period of upto 8 weeks (in cases of stage IV ulcers) or till healthy granulation tissue appears, whichever is earlier and 'control group' or 'Standard treatment group ' or 'Group 2' (paraffin gauze is applied after application of povidone iodine). Randomization will be performed as per protocol. Primary outcome will be reduction in time to healing of any stage of pressure ulcer and secondary outcomes will be treatment failure rate and new onset infection of ulcer. The investigators ICU is a fully equipped 8 bedded ICU with all ventilated beds. There are 2 full time consultants, residents and staff with nurse patient ratio of 1:1 to 1:2. Therefore, the investigators are well equipped to treat critically ill children. There will be an in-built mechanism of assuring quality of processes at different steps. ;
