Resumo
PURPOSE: A review of the literature reveals a lack of consensus regarding local management of skin graft donor sites. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of 3 different dressings on healing of donor sites and patient discomfort related to donor sites. DESIGN: This study is a comparison cohort study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: We recruited 34 burn patients scheduled for partial-thickness skin grafts; their mean age was 36 +/- 18 years (mean +/- SD, range 20 to 54 years), and 63% were male. All subjects were managed at Burn Unity Care, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 groups: (1) a study group (group A) whose donor sites were dressed with a bovine collagen calcium-alginate dressing covered with transparent polyurethane film; (2) a second intervention group (group B), whose donor sites were dressed only with transparent polyurethane film dressing; and (3) a control group whose donor sites were dressed with rayon soaked in 0.9% saline (group C). Two independent observers assessed donor site wounds for epithelialization, scabbing, quantity and characteristics of exudate, and complications. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, the brief pain inventory, and Index of Pain Management. RESULTS: Subjects managed with the bovine collagen calcium-alginate dressing covered with transparent polyurethane film (group A) achieved the greatest epithelialization (6.3 vs 8.2 for thin film dressing only P < .02 and 6.3 vs 11.7 days for control group P < .01). Patients managed with the bovine collagen calcium-alginate dressing covered with transparent polyurethane film also reported less pain that subjects allocated to the control (group C) or thin film only group (group B), (P < .05). Ninety percent of subjects allocated to the calcium alginate covered with thin film dressing reported mild pain intensity on the Visual Analog Scale, 85% of did not report pain localized to the donor site on the brief pain inventory, and scores on the Index of Pain Management ranged from 23 to 11. CONCLUSION: Study findings suggest that use of a collagen calcium-alginate dressing with a transparent film covering reduces the time for complete epithelialization and may reduce pain related to skin graft donor sites.
