摘要

Background %26lt;br%26gt;A burn wound is a complex and evolving injury, with both local and systemic consequences. Burn treatments include a variety of dressings, as well as newer strategies, such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), which, by means of a suction force that drains excess fluids from the burn, tries to promote the wound healing process and minimise progression of the burn wound. %26lt;br%26gt;Objectives %26lt;br%26gt;To assess the effectiveness of NPWT for people with partial-thickness burns. %26lt;br%26gt;Search methods %26lt;br%26gt;For this third update we searched the Cochrane Wounds Group Specialised Register (searched 18 May 2012); The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2012, Issue 5); Ovid MEDLINE (2010 to May Week 2 2012); Ovid MEDLINE (In-Process %26 Other Non-Indexed Citations 17 May 2012); Ovid EMBASE (2010 to 2012 Week 19); and EBSCO CINAHL (2010 to 16 May 2012). %26lt;br%26gt;Selection criteria %26lt;br%26gt;All randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) that evaluated the safety and effectiveness of NPWT for partial-thickness burns. %26lt;br%26gt;Data collection and analysis %26lt;br%26gt;Two review authors used standardised forms, and extracted the data independently. We assessed each trial for risk of bias, and resolved differences by discussion. %26lt;br%26gt;Main results %26lt;br%26gt;One RCT, that was an interim report, satisfied the inclusion criteria. We undertook a narrative synthesis of results, as the absence of data and poor reporting precluded us from carrying out any formal statistical analysis. The trial was at high risk of bias. %26lt;br%26gt;Authors%26apos; conclusions %26lt;br%26gt;There was not enough evidence available to permit any conclusions to be drawn regarding the use of NPWT for treatment of partial-thickness burn wounds.
