The use of ichthammol glycerin in burn wound care: a literature review
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The current concept in the clinical management of patients focuses on evidence-based quality use of medicines. In the area of wound management it has been purported that evidence-based practice has not kept pace with the numerous wound care products that are now available on the market 1. So, are wound care products that have been tested for efficacy by randomised controlled clinical trials the only ones that should be used in clinical practice? Is there still a place for those traditional ‘tried and true’ products in the management of wounds? One such product is ichthammol glycerin APF [Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary and Handbook], for which the question remains: Is its current use based on clinically supported evidence?
