Evaluation of the effect of dilute lidocaine solution on pain control during dressingchange in patients with burn injuries admitted to Shahid Zare Hospital in Sari in ۱۴۰۰

The present study evaluates the analgesic effect of ۰.۰۸% dilutes lidocaine solution during and after wounddressing operation in burn patients.Methods۵۰ burns patients with the criteria admission, such as age between ۱۸ and ۶۰ years, burns between ۳۰ and۶۰%, and with no history of drug abuse and no diabetes, were divided into intervention (N=۲۵) andcontrol(N=۲۵) groups. In the intervention group, the dressings were diluted with ۰.۰۸% lidocaine solution. In thecontrol group, the placebo was thoroughly soaked and immersed for ۵ minutes, and the bandages werechanged within ۵ minutes to gently remove the bandages from the wounds. Heart rate, blood oxygen levels,and pain were recorded for ۱۰ minutes. (During, before, and after changing the dressing) Pain assessment inpatients in both groups was used using the standard VAS checklist.ResultsFifty burn patients referred to the burn center of Shahid Zare Hospital were analyzed and divided into twogroups of twenty-five interventions (mean age: ۴۰.۲ ± ۶.۵). and control. (Mean age: ۳۹.۱ ± ۶.۸). There were nosignificant differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age, weight, height, body mass index,percentage of burns, degree of burn, and average morphine intake; also, there was no significant differencebetween systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and temperature before,during, and after dressing change between the intervention and control groups. There was no significantdifference in pain scores between the intervention and control groups before and after a dressing change.However, while changing the dressing, pain perception scores in the intervention group were significantly lowerthan in the control group(P<۰.۰۰۱).ConclusionSeemingly, diluted lidocaine solution has significant analgesic effects during the dressing of burn wounds andsignificantly lowers the pain sensation score; professionals must carry out several studies with
