RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The treatment of 3rd degree burns represents a major medical challenge. Pinus vegetable cellulose is a biomaterial with characteristic similar to bacterial cellulose. AIM: To evaluate the safety of cellulose membrane (Pinus sp) in the treatment of 3rd burns in rats and to compare its effectiveness with the bacterial membrane already on the market. METHOD: Thirty-three Wistar rats were beaten with a 3rd degree burn on back skin by applying water at 98º C for 30 s. Then, they were divided into three groups (n=11): group 1 - simple dressing with gauze; group 2 - dressing with bacterial cellulose membrane; and group 3 - dressing with vegetable cellulose membrane. The animals were maintained for 15 days to check the general clinical status, macroscopic aspect, contraction of the wounds and microscopic analysis for the degree of healing and collagenization. RESULTS: They were clinically well during the experiment. During the removal of the dressing, there was bleeding in the wound of the control group, unlike the groups treated with cellulose membranes, which protected the bed from injury. The macroscopic evaluation showed a greater contraction of the wounds treated with the membranes in relation to the control. A microscopic analysis revealed that most of the wounds were in advanced healing degree with predominance of mature collagen in all groups. CONCLUSION: Pinus sp cellulose membrane showed efficacy similar to that of the bacterial membrane in the treatment of 3rd degree burns.

RESUMO Racional: O tratamento das queimaduras de 3˚ grau representa grande desafio na área médica. A celulose vegetal de pinus é biomaterial com características semelhantes às da celulose bacteriana. Objetivo: Avaliar a segurança da membrana de celulose vegetal (Pinus sp) no tratamento de queimaduras de terceiro grau em ratos e comparar sua eficácia com a da membrana bacteriana já comercializada. Método: Trinta e três ratos Wistar foram submetidos à queimadura de 3º grau na pele do dorso mediante aplicação de água a 98º C durante 30 s. Em seguida, foram distribuídos em três grupos (n=11): grupo 1 - curativo simples com gaze; grupo 2 - curativo com membrana de celulose bacteriana; e grupo 3 - curativo com membrana de celulose vegetal . Os animais foram avaliados durante 15 dias para verificar o estado clínico geral, aspecto macroscópico, contração das feridas e análise microscópica pelo grau de cicatrização e colagenizacao. Resultados: Permaneceram clinicamente bem durante o experimento. Durante a retirada do curativo houve sangramento na ferida do grupo controle, diferentemente dos grupos tratados com as membranas de celulose, que protegeram o leito da lesão. A análise microscópica mostrou que a maioria das feridas apresentava-se em grau avançado de cicatrização, com predomínio de colágeno maduro em todos os grupos. Houve maior contração das feridas tratadas com as membranas em relação ao grupo controle. Conclus ão: A membrana de celulose de Pinus sp apresentou eficácia semelhante à da membrana bacteriana no tratamento de queimaduras de 3˚ grau.

A dor nos pacientes vítimas de queimaduras agudas pode variar e as técnicas descritas podem se chegar ao manejo ideal, melhorando os resultados da recuperação e evitando sequelas psicológicas em longo prazo. O presente estudo teve por objetivo trata de estabelecer na atualidade os melhores métodos de tratamento para dor da vítima de queimadura aguda. É revisão sistemática realizada através de busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e Scielo, utilizando os descritores como strings de busca. Em conclusão, o tratamento da dor em queimados é um desafio para a equipe. Assim, o conhecimento sobre avaliação da dor e as terapias utilizadas trazem benefícios tanto na recuperação como evitar as sequelas neurológicas e dor crônica.
Pain in patients suffering from acute burns can vary and the techniques described can achieve optimal management, improving recovery results and avoiding long-term psychological sequelae. The present study aimed to establish currently the best methods of treatment for pain in acute burn victims. It is a systematic review carried out by searching PubMed, Scopus and Scielo databases, using descriptors as search strings. In conclusion, pain management in burn patients is a challenge for the team. Thus, knowledge about pain assessment and the therapies used bring benefits both in recovery and in avoiding neurological sequelae and chronic pain.
