A Randomized Trial Evaluating EARLY Application of a Surfactant Dressing in Thermal Injury (EARLY)

United States27 participantsStarted 2021-08-03

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to test the following hypotheses: 1. Early use of water-soluble surfactant dressing (WSD) on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in tissue salvage and reduce surgical burden. 2. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in faster healing. 3. Use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in less painful wound care. 4. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in less infection. 5. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in lower hospital costs.
