Successful treatment of electric burns in young patients with nano-zinc dressings: A case report

Tratamiento exitoso de quemaduras eléctricas en pacientes jóvenes con apósitos de nano-zinc: Un reporte de caso

Burns are the consequence of tissue harm caused by extended exposure to extreme heat, sunlight radiation, other types of radiation, chemicals, or electricity. Burns can vary from minor to life-threatening, and the appropriate treatment depends on the seriousness and location of the burn. Severe and extensive burns necessitate immediate medical attention, and some individuals may need specialized care centers and ongoing medical check-ups for several months. Electric burns occur when the skin is exposed to a weak or strong electric shock, and they can be categorized as mild or severe depending on the length and intensity of the shock. In this case study, we present the treatment of a severe electric burn on a 10-year-old boy’s right leg using nano-zinc bandages. The use of these bandages proved to be highly effective in healing the child’s injured leg. This case study discusses the treatment of a severe electric burn in a 10-year-old boy using zinc nanoparticles. The authors observed positive outcomes in terms of skin healing after the application of nano-zinc bandages. Zinc nanoparticles have attracted attention due to their antimicrobial properties and ability to aid wound healing. The main significant clinical output is that the case suggests the potential of zinc nanoparticles in aiding wound healing for burns and emphasizing the need for further research on their effectiveness and safety on a larger scale. However, it is important to note that this is a single case study for burning treatments and further research is required to determine the effectiveness and safety of zinc nanoparticles in burn treatment.
