['Pediatric burn patients traditionally require multiple dressing changes and significant amounts of narcotics. Negative pressure dressings (NPDs) have emerged as an effective wound therapy that may represent an alternative primary dressing for these patients.', 'This is a single institution, retrospective study of pediatric burn patients treated with NPDs over a defined 2 year period. Twenty-two patients were identified and their charts reviewed for age, sex, mode of injury, location of injury, degree of burn, length of stay, length of dressing required, number of dressing changes, and narcotic use between dressing changes.', 'The average patient was 3.5 years old (range of 8 months to 10 years old) with partial thickness burns involving 8.5% (range 3-18%) body surface area. The average treatment regimen was 3.5 dressing changes more than 6.6 days, with a mean hospital stay of 9.6 days. The average child received 9.4 total doses of delivered narcotics during their inpatient care.'] Do negative pressure dressing assisted healing in pediatric burn patients?
