Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992). 2019 Nov;65(11):1405-1412. doi: 10.1590/1806-9282.65.11.1405.

Abstract

Objective: to identify, through an integrative review, national studies published over the last ten years highlighting products and therapies used in burns.

Methods: integrative research with studies published in the last ten years. Including clinical studies describing the use of the already established or innovative therapies in burns and the results obtained, published in national journals in the last ten years. Excluding articles published before 2007 and those that did not present results regarding the use of products in burns.

Results: ten articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Collagenase, 1% silver sulfadiazine, and porous cellulose membrane were some of the therapies cited.

Conclusion: the casuistry was low; however, the good results obtained with porous cellulose membrane and silver nanocrystalline dressing are highlighted, since they were used in a larger number of patients in the studies evaluated.
