摘要:Objective: Hard-to-heal wounds are a global health challenge, and effective treatments are still lacking. Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) and maggots are traditional treatments for promoting wound healing. This study was a preliminary exploration of combined maggot therapy and MEBO in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds.Method: A coexistence experiment was conducted to determine the survival rates of maggots in MEBO. The maggots were placed in two different existence conditions: one set in MEBO (MEBO group), and another set as the control group (no MEBO) to compare survival rates. Case reports describe the use of the combined application of MEBO and maggots in the treatment of patients with hard-to-heal wounds.Results: The coexistence experiment indicated that maggots in the MEBO group had a higher survival rate. From the therapeutic effect of the clinical cases (n=7), the combined application was safe and effective, with all the reported wounds eventually healing.Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, we believe the combined application of MEBO and maggots is a promising way of promoting wound healing. Further studies and clinical trials are needed to elucidate the mechanism of the combined application in promoting wound healing and to more persuasively clarify the therapeutic effect.
摘要:Wound healing is complex and wound dressings are an integral part of the healing process. Covered wounds heal more quickly than open wounds. We have used moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) in an attempt to evaluate its efficacy. This study showed MEBO is safe, effective, and shortens the time of treatment, as well as reducing the chance of wound infection, resulting in very good overall aesthetic results.
摘要:Objective:The objective is to outline the overall health scene as it is in New Zealand and to demonstrate that there is tremendous potential for the increased use of Moist Exposed Burn Therapy(MEBT)across a wide variety of health care facilities within New Zealand.Method:The presentation allows me to share with you evidence from clini- cal based practice and examples of how and where MEBT and the product Moist Exposed Burn Ointment(MEBO)has been used within New Zealand' s health services.This will include evidence from other nursing colleagues who work in the Aged Care sector or in the New Zealand community.Result:My experiences in the clinical field have enabled me to see that there is much that can be done through education for nurses by professional nurse educators. Currently there is little or no funding available to Nurse Educators for them to be able to provide the required education and training,or to be able to introduce the correct clini- cal techniques of MEBT into our heahhcare profession. Patients who require wound management and have been treated using the MEBT method are provided with sustained wound healing,improved outcomes and consequently an improved quality of life. New Zealand health providers are beginning to realize that use of MEBT and MEBO is a cost effective form of treatment.Not only in monetary terms but in ethical and physiolog- ical terms as well.At this point in time however,there is evidence that nurses will experi- ment with products such as MEBO but revert back to techniques and products they know and are comfortable with in day to day nursing situations. It can therefore be concluded that New Zealand nurses do not have adequate knowl- edge or understanding of the clinical application of MEBT/MEBO to achieve the optimum results for their patients. Ongoing education is essential to ensure that nurses,who are using MEBT,under- stand the principals of MEBT and follow the correct clinical application. There has been evidence,during my clinical practice,of New Zealand nurses using MEBT alongside the current New Zealand wound management techniques and this combi- nation has often led to a misunderstanding about MEBT and the incorrect use of MEBO. As a result the patient outcomes are often substandard compared with the recommen- ded MEBT practice and the resulting potential for the increased quality of life is not fully realized by patient or practitioner. With the acceptance of a changing methodology and its education within the New Zea- land nursing culture,there is significant potential for this wound management concept to be widely used,particularly within the Aged Care and Disabilities sectors within New Zea- land prior to registration of MEBO being granted. With the full registration of the MEBO product,we will be able to use this treatment to its full potential to provide improved patient outcomes and an increase in quality of life for patients within New Zealand. My clinical knowledge of MEBT has helped me to initiate a starting point of MEBT education in New Zealand-currently focused on regional nurse education and community awareness.This will help facilitate the understanding,enthusiasm and commitment for this treatment across New Zealand and enable nurses to gain the necessary support to bring a- bout this change in wound management.
摘要:Background Dermal burns (partial thickness burns) are the most painful trauma with two types of pain background pain with additional procedural pain, one of the best tolerable mode of treatment that commonly used now adays is treatment with MEBT ointments to maintain the moist and warm wound environment suitable for regeneration of epidermal cells, and to reduces pain. Moist wound dressings retain moisture, heat, body fluids, and biofilm with medication. The assumption is that the polyethylene film will maintain the ointment and its effect more than to be used merely. Patients and methods Prospective study to evaluate treatment of patients with partial thickness burns conservatively with MEBT ointment as a control group and MEBT ointment + Cling Film, 63 patients being admitted to the burn center at Azadi teaching hospital during a period of one year starting from June 2018 till June 2019. The inclusion criteria including all patients between 10-95% partial thickness burns of various age, sex and skin types. Results Very much decrease in procedural and background pain, better joint movement in physiotherapy decrease in crust formation, increase maceration of eschar, better cost- effectiveness, less days of hospital stay. Aim in Iraq circumstances we have to use the most cost effective measures to reach our goals in managing the burn wounds the moist trend which is now being proved it gives better healing with less pain, with best criteria of wound dressing . Conclusion Easily applicable, less painful, non-coasty over all, better condition of patient during course of management, reduced length of hospital stay and lower treatment costs, appropriate wound healing with living tissue , less joint stiffness problems.
