Third-degree burn following use of microwave-heated cryogel pack.
It is common nursing practice to apply warm soaks to an area where extravasation of intravenous (IV) fluid has occurred. Here we report an adverse outcome due to the use of a microwave-heated, commercially available hot-cold cryogel pack to treat an extravasation of IV fluid in a patient.
متن کاملLow-level laser therapy with pulsed infrared laser accelerates third-degree burn healing process in rats.
This study investigated the influence of pulsed low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the healing of a third-degree burn in a rat model. Two third-degree burns (distal and proximal) were made in the skin of 74 rats. Rats were divided into four groups. In group 1, the distal burn received LLLT with laser switched off; in groups 2 and 3, distal burns were treated with a 3,000 Hz-pulsed infrared diode...

متن کاملInfluences of combining nano zinc, honey and Aloe vera to accelerate healing the wounds caused by third–degree burn in male balb/c mice
Introduction: Burns are one of the most common household and industrial injuries. There are evidences which demonstrate the therapeutic properties of honey and Aloe vera. We evaluated the topical influences of this material and nano zinc combination on healing the wounds caused by third-degree burns. Materials and methods: 32 balb/c mice divided into a control group (without treatment), grou...
