摘要:Background: Burns are considered a serious health affection that leads to several consequences affecting a person both physically and emotionally. Herbal and traditional medicine have become popular remedies among patients worldwide. Aim: This study explores common practices followed in burns as first aid management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia using a designed questionnaire distributed electronically through different social media. The questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic details, history of burns, causative material, and practices followed in response to burns. Results: 461 individuals have participated in this study. The commonest reason for burns was hot water or steam. The majority of the respondents (63%) had a satisfactory response to self-aid alone at home. The most common first aid options for managing burns at home were cold water alone 195 (42%), any sort of cream alone 177 (38%), or both 317 (69%). Overall, the result shows no statistically significant difference between the outcome of burn injury and the most commonly used burn aids. Conclusions: Most people use creams and water as the first-aid management of burns, while a good number of people use traditional medicine. Overall, people who receive hospital treatment after getting first aid at home give a better outcome.
摘要:Objective:Moist Exposed Burn Ointment(MEB0)has been initially popularized by the Beijing Chinese Burn Center as a topical burn oint- ment capable of providing the necessary moist environment for optimal wound healing without an overlying secondary cumbersome bulky and expensive dressing. Chinese traditional medicine(CTM)is quite different from the type of medicine and approach to disease as practiced in the west. Despite its empirically time proven practices and remedies,it is difficult,however,to accept CTM without adapting it to western ways of scientific analysis and documentation and many obstacles must be overcome before adopting it in a western style medical practice.Methods:Even though the effects of MEBO have been well described in the Chinese literature,the ointment had to be sub- jected to our ways of scientific analysis and documentation before being adopted.Sev- eral clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate the effect of MEB0 on primary healing of surgically repaired cutaneous wounds and on secondary healing of split thickness skin graft donor sites. Its effect on scar quality following both primary and secondary healing was also elucidated.Wound healing cytokine modulation by MEBO was investigated experimentally using the rabbit burn model.Results:Split thickness skin graft donor site wounds treated by the moisture retentive ointment had faster re- epithelialization rate than conventionally treated wounds with Sofra-Tulle or with oc- clusive Tegaderm dressings and were markedly less hyperemic and pigmented. Final cosmetic appearance as documented photographically,as well as patient's satisfaction and preference were much superior for the MEB0 treated wounds.It was demonstrated also that the ointment under investigation not only provided optimal and rapid re-epi- thelialization of partial thickness wounds but also resulted in faster functional cutaneous recovery as determined by TEWL(trans-epidermal water loss)measurements.It re- suited also in better quality healing as evidenced by lack of epidermal sliding.The ex- perimental study demonstrated that the multitude of inflammatory cells,growth factors and cytokines present in the wound bed are positively modulated by topical application of MEBO with characteristic temporal and spatial regulation and changes in the expres- sion pattern.Conclusion:Despite the fundamental differences between CTM and west- ern style medicine,it is wrong to totally disregard CTM only because some of its ingre- dients are unknown to our pharmacopea or because the complex nature of the Chinese medicinal preparations preclude isolation of the various constituents for exact toxicologi- cal and pharmacological investigation either separately or in combination with each oth- er.Our studies have clearly demonstrated the beneficial effects of MEBO on wound healing and scar quality.This effect is not merely due to moisture retention but rather to a fundamental basic modulation of wound healing kinetics.Furthermore,the experi- mental study has proven that wound healing modulation could be achieved by simple ointment application without the need of sophisticated and expensive high-tech mo- dalities such as cytokine and gene therapies.
摘要:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of moisture exposed burn ointment (MEBO) on phlebitis, seven electronic databases where checked until September, 2016 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of MEBO on phlebitis. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane handbook guidelines. Thirty eight randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria in which the aggregated results indicated that comparison revealed significant differences in total effectiveness rate of MEBO versus conventional therapy (RR=1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.06, 1.52, and P=0.009), and there were some beneficial evidence regarding the effects on reducing incidence of phlebitis MEBO versus conventional therapy in preventing phlebitis (RR=2.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.94, 3.85, and P<0.00001). The evidence that MEBO is an effective treatment for phlebitis is encouraging, but not conclusive due to the low methodological quality of the RCTs. Therefore, more high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes are required. Key words: External application of moisture exposed burn ointment, prevention and (or) treatment, phlebitis.
