Deneysel Yanık Modelinde Hiperbarik Oksijen ve Medikal Ozon Tedavisinin Yara İyileşmesi Üzerine Etkilerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Objective: Burn injury is a type of injury which is the disruptin of skin and organs by the effects of heat, electrical current, chemical caustic or burning agents. The purposes of daily burn care are removing of necrotic tissue, prevention of bacterial contamination, control of travma, stimulation of epithelization and protection of systemic complications. In this study, the effects of hyperbaric oxygen and ozone therapy were investigated, and used as adjuvant therapy in burn management, on burned areas utilizing experimental burn model. Material and Methods: In this study, 28 Wistar albino rats weighing 200-220 gr were used and divided into four groups. 10% burn defect areas were occured in all experiments. In the first group, rats were treated with hyperbaric oxygen. Medical ozone therapy was applied to the second group. In the third group, only debridement was used as treatment. Any treatment options were not used to rats in the fourth group. Results: The analysis revealed no statistically significant difference of burns surface areas between Groups 1 and 2, while a significant reduction were noted in Groups 1 and 2 when compared to the other groups. On histopathologic examination of the Groups 1 and 2 we observed a significant decrease in the inflammation and fibrosis rates when compared with other groups. Conclusion: As a result, we observed the affirmative effects of hyperbaric oxygen and ozone therapy on burn management. We suggest that these treatment modalities can be added to standart treatment options as adjuvant therapy. We also think that large researches are needed to support this issue.
