SUBJECT AND METHOD

Subject : Pig
Method :
A prospective, randomized controlled
experiment was conducted to test the study
hypothesis.
Data analyze with ANOVA-1 and SPSS 11
The study was conducted in an accredited
animal research laboratory and in accordance
with national guidelines and regulation

Study Protocol
Use Animal (pig ) 51
Partial thickness burns were inflicted on each pig
using a 5 5-cm aluminum bar preheated to 400C (
20 s )

The necroticepidermis was removed by enzymatic

debridement

16 Treatment with SSD (Thermazene; Covidien,

Mansfield, Mass)
Each burn purified olive oil (total of 20 burns),
15 pigs Control

Study Protocol
Assessment of the wound healing was done
every 2 days by tracing the margins of the
open wound on digital images of the wounds
that were scanned into the computer.

wound area was then later calculated

using Scion Image

outcome was the remaining

wounded area that had not

 INITIAL SIMILAR
AFTER 2 WKS Healed, completely
healed, no Infection

RESULT

Disscussion
Use of natural products, such as olive oil, to treat burns
has great appeal, especially in underdeveloped countries,
where more sophisticated and expensive therapies are not always
avaliable

Nosignificant differences SSD with purified Olive oil

, treatment of the burns with purified olive oil did not
speed healing
Need Future Larger Study

Limitation

Small sample
Applying olive oil maybe suboptimal
Current study only 14 days
In conclusion, though olive oil is
statistically less than SSD in burn
wound healing, its
ectivenotpredispose to burn wound
infeuse ction and it is not any better
