A variety of dressings are used for the management of paediatric burns. Aquacel Ag® is a silver-impregnated hydrofibre that releases silver within the dressing for up to two weeks. It has been reported in the literature that it is a beneficial dressing for the management of partial-thickness burns. It promotes an appropriate environment for re-epithelialization of the burn wound. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use and outcomes of Aquacel Ag® dressing in paediatric burn patients. This was a prospective audit carried out in the period January-July 2005. The healing time was satisfactory. The dressing normally adheres to the burn wound for up to two weeks and thus requires less frequent changes. In our study, patients required three to four outer dressing changes. However, Aquacel Ag® has not been compared with other dressings. Overall pain requirements were reduced during subsequent dressing changes. It was also easy to apply the dressing in the majority of our patients. Non-adherence was one of the problems encountered but, overall, Aquacel Ag® appeared to be a safe, effective, and comfortable dressing.
多种敷料用于小儿烧伤的治疗。爱康肤银敷料（Aquacel Ag®）是一种含银水凝胶纤维，可在敷料内持续释放银长达两周。文献报道它是治疗浅二度烧伤的一种有益敷料。它为烧伤创面的再上皮化营造了适宜的环境。本研究的目的是评估爱康肤银敷料（Aquacel Ag®）在小儿烧伤患者中的使用情况及效果。这是一项于2005年1月至7月期间进行的前瞻性审计。愈合时间令人满意。该敷料通常可在烧伤创面上粘附长达两周，因此换药频率较低。在我们的研究中，患者需要进行三到四次外层敷料更换。然而，爱康肤银敷料（Aquacel Ag®）尚未与其他敷料进行比较。在后续换药过程中，总体疼痛需求有所减少。在我们大多数患者中，该敷料也易于应用。敷料不粘连是遇到的问题之一，但总体而言，爱康肤银敷料（Aquacel Ag®）似乎是一种安全、有效且使用舒适的敷料。
