Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of infrared irradiation, dip bath and mupirocin ointment on the healing and rehabilitation quality of patients with extensive burns. Methods Eighty patients with extensive burns in the General Hospital of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group from September 2013 to August 2018 were selected, and randomly divided into two groups, with 40 cases in each group. In the control group, patients with large-area burns were treated with infrared radiation and mupirocin ointment. In the study group, patients with extensive burns were treated with infra-red radiation and bathing on the basis of mupirocin ointment therapy. Results The total effective rate of wound healing after treatment in the study group (90.00%) was higher than that of the control group (72.50%, P 0.05). The improvement of WHOQOL-100 scale score in the study group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of infrared radiation, bath and mupirocin ointment combined treatment has remarkable effect on extensive burn patients, which can effectively promote the wound healing and improve the quality of rehabilitation.
