ABSTRACT
When compared to standard surgical management, rapid enzymatic debridement of deep burns reduces the need for surgery while achieving similar long-term results. However, few studies have directly compared the costs of standard surgical and enzymatic burn care. We conducted a study comparing the care costs of 44 adult burn patients treated before (n=22) and after (n=22) introducing rapid bromelain-based enzymatic debridement (BED) of deep burns. Mean age was 59 years, 54% were male, and mean total body surface area (TBSA) was 23.5%. Burn etiology included flame and scalding burns (8). Groups treated with standard of care and enzymatic debridement were comparable in terms of age, sex and TBSA. Burn management with BED significantly reduced total debridement costs as well as grand total costs when compared with traditional surgical care. Such reduction was mostly related to lower costs associated with reduced surgical care and less facilities and resources consumption in the BED group.
Comparativement au traitement standard, l'excision enzymatique précoce (EEP) réduit la nécessité de chirurgie, à résultats égaux à long termes. Très peu d'études ont comparé les coûts de ces deux stratégies. Nous avons comparé 2 groupes de 22 patients profondément brûlés ayant pour l'un été pris en charge conventionnellement, l'autre ayant bénéficié d'une EEP. L'âge moyen était de 59 ans, 54% étaient des hommes, la surface brûlée moyenne de 23,5% (les 2 groupes étaient comparables). Seuls 8 patients avaient été ébouillantés, les autres étant brûlés par flamme. L'utilisation d'EEP réduisait significativement le coût de la prise en charge, en rapport avec la réduction de l'utilisation de locaux et de matériel consécutifs à la chirurgie.
