Description
Jiaqi Lou and co-authors review trials of negative pressure wound therapy for burned children in a 2024 analysis. The therapy seals a wound and draws out fluid with gentle suction. It has helped many kinds of wounds, but its value and safety for children's burns were less certain. The team pooled results from trials that compared the therapy with other care.
Twelve studies with about a thousand patients were included. Children treated with suction healed faster, needed fewer dressing changes, and had lower scar scores. Rates of bacteria found in wounds and of side effects were also lower. Healing rates were higher as well. The authors conclude the therapy works well for children's burns, though the studies differed a lot from each other.
