Abstract

Aims: The study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic and safety effects of Ceri Nitrate 1.75% solution produced by Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital for spot treatment of slow-healing burn wound.
Subjects and methods: Patients having long-healing burns treated at the Department of Rehabilitation at the hospital; assessing on clinical, subclinical, and microbiological criteria, comparing the therapeutic effect of cerium nitrate solution with betadine solution.
The results showed that in the experimented area, inflammation and exudation were significantly reduced compared to that of the control. The number of bacteria on the surface of the wound after 1 week of treatment decreased in both. The duration of treatment is significantly shortened. There were no local or systemic side effects, and no alterations in hematological and biochemical indicators were observed.
Conclusion: Cerium Nitrate solution is safe for spot treatment, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial effects, and facilitates wound healing.
