Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of cooled lidocaine on burn wound itches of patients with grade-II burns. Methods A total of 120 patients of Grade-II burns with wound itching were averagely divided into normal saline at room temperature group(G1), normal saline at 10℃ group(G2), lidocaine at room temperature group(G3), lidocaine at 10℃ group(G4). The antipruritic effect, the antipruritic time and remission intervals before and after the treatment were compared among the groups. Results The antipruritic efficiency of G4 reached 93%, evidently better than that of other three groups(P=0.001). Antipruritic time were longer in both G2 and G4 than that in G1 and G3 and remission intervals in G4 were longer than that in G2(P=0.000). Conclusion For burn patients, lidocaine at 10℃ can effectively alleviate wound itching and relieve anxiety, which is worth to be promoted clinically.
