Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Amnion will be obtained after informed consent from enrolled healthy expecting mothers undergoing C-section, with no co-morbidities or infections, testing negative for HBV, HCV and HIV. Meconium-contaminated placenta would be discarded. Amnion will be separated from placenta by washing with large volumes of normal saline. Membranes would then be transferred to another container containing 70% glycerol and refrigerated at 4 degree Centigrade.
For Group A, Amnion will be retrieved from the fridge, dipped in normal saline for 10 min to remove glycerol and applied to the cleaned and dried facial burns by the primary investigator, ensuring no air bubbles between it and the bed. Topical antibiotic onitment (Polyax Ointment - Glaxosmithkline) will be applied three times a day upto 2 atleast 2 weeks upto 1 month. No secondary dressing will be applied. The amnion will remain there till the burn wound epithelization atleast 2 weeks and up to 1 month.

Comparator / control treatment
In group B, only topical antibiotic onitment (Polyax Ointment - Glaxosmithkline) will be applied uni formally over the wound as a thin layer, three times a day till wound healing for atleast 2 weeks and upto 1 month.

Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 307488 0
Wound healing by complete epithelization assessed clinically by seeing the complete resurfacing of skin by epithelium.
Timepoint [1] 307488 0
Patients will be assessed on post-operative day 1, 5, and 10. Finally, the post-operative day on which the dressing spontaneously leaves the donor site, revealing a healed wound, will be noted up to 1 month
Secondary outcome [1] 352061 0
Pain, Scored numerically by asking the patient to grade the pain on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest
Timepoint [1] 352061 0
It will be assessed on post operative days 1, 5 and 10
Secondary outcome [2] 352062 0
Wound infection, will be assessed clinically by the researcher as presence of erythema of surrounding skin, excessive and foul-smelling discharge, fever with no other source of infection, and a positive culture.
Timepoint [2] 352062 0
Assessed on post operative days 1, 5 and 10.

Summary
Brief summary
Mix thickness burns of face usually treated conservatively. Topical application of ointment alone is usually combersome and sometimes due to secondary infection led to increase in depth of burns. Amnion is a form of biological dressing and does not require any change of dressing when applied on face. In this study we will compare the results of traditional treatment with amnion application on the face.
