The purpose of this study is to compare patient outcomes between Xeroform only and silver sulfadiazine.
Over recent years, we transitioned to using closed Xeroform dressings (3% bismuth tribromophenate in petrolatum-soaked gauze) in the initial care of partial thickness burns. INTRODUCTION: Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream changed daily was historically the mainstay initial treatment at our pediatric burn center.
TITLE: Xeroform gauze is superior to silver sulfadiazine cream in promoting zone of stasis healing for mixed-depth scald burns in children
