Abstract:
The study involved 13 patients (8 males, 5 females) who aged 15-41 years of old and hospitalized at the National Institute for Burn. Burn-caused agents were heat and chemicals (fire, boiling water and lime). Burn area was from 4% to 30% of body area. The patients were applied the drug within 48 hours after burning. There was not difference between effect of maduxin ointment-available gauze and self-prepared maduxin ointment gauze on clinical and in laboratory findings. The maduxin ointment-available gauze is easy and convenient in use and conservation. The cost-effective of this gauze is similar to the ointment packaged in container and tube, but it help save the time for bandage changing.
