UNASSIGNED: Hospital admissions related to @entity130 reach 40,000 annually. @entity1 who experience extensive burns require longer hospital stays and are at increased risk for @entity281 and hospital acquired conditions. This comparative case study is a two @entity1 matched case control design that follows the hospital course of two @entity1 who experienced @entity130 . For one of these @entity1 , with the consent of the @entity1 's parents, the grandmother treated her granddaughter with essential oils. Essential oils have the potential to inhibit microbial growth, support treatment of wounds, and facilitate healing. However, there have been no large scale studies on essential oils. Data for the two cases were retrieved from the electronic medical record at a Midwestern Pediatric Hospital. Retrieved data included burn site description, treatment for burns, number of days on the ventilator, white blood cell count, length of hospital stay, number of ICU days, @entity281 diagnosed by positive culture and @entity158 ratings. While the goals for treatment were the same for both @entity1 , the @entity1 who received only standard care was diagnosed with two blood stream @entity281 and four hospital acquired conditions while the @entity1 who received supplemental treatment with essential oils did not develop any blood stream @entity281 , was diagnosed with one hospital acquired condition, was in the PICU one day less, and had a four day shorter length of hospital stay. While these case findings are intriguing, research is needed to expand understanding of the role of essential oils in the treatment of burns.
