About this study

Official title: The Treatment Challenges and Limitation in High-Voltage Pediatric Electrical Burn at Rural Area: A Case Report

A case of high-voltage pediatric electrical burn involving a fully conscious 13-year old boy who was admitted to the emergency room after being electrocuted by high-voltage power cable, with superficial partial thickness burn over right arm, trunk, and left leg (26% of total body surface area) with cardiac abnormality e.g. tachycardia and non-specific ST depression. Treatments were based on Australian New Zealand Burns Association algorithm with several modifications, i.e. administering lower concentration of oxygen with nasal cannula instead of non-rebreathing mask and intravenous Ketorolac and Metamizole as analgesic instead of morphine due to limitation in infrastructure and knowledge. The patient underwent surgical debridement and strict observation with no signs of abnormality found during hospital stay. Wound dressing consisted of silver sulfadiazine, Sofra-tulle® and dry sterile gauze were used until epithelialization. After the wound healed, the patient resumed wearing elastic bandage and moisturizer on the wound area. The patient was observed daily through 7 days of hospitalization and followed-up for 1 year, achieving normal physiologic function of the affected area but unsatisfactory esthetic result. This case report showed that there is still a lack of burn prevention programs in the rural area, resulted in inadequate first aid application for electrical burn. There is a need for acknowledging and maximizing the implementation of available standardized guidelines e.g. Australian New Zealand Burns Association by giving homogenized training to personnel as well as providing feasible equipment, and then followed by strict monitoring for the patient. The focus of the burn program should also include burn rehabilitation, psychosocial needs and any complaints needing expert opinion in an outpatient setting in addition to adequate burn management for life saving and good wound healing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Burns and Electrical Burn, run by S.K. Lerik General Hospital at 1 site in Indonesia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Indonesia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Wound healing (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Mar 2021.
