Abstrakt: Thermal lesions in children leave behind cicatricial contractions, contractures, deformations of the wrists, feet, face. Sanatorium-resort treatment using balneotherapy is an integral part of rehabilitation measures in such patients.
Objective: To analyze the results of hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy in children with consequences of thermal injury.
Material and Methods: A single-center observational retrospective non-controlled study was carried out, in which sanatorium-resort treatment concerning post-burn scars in 812 children aged 5-17 years was analyzed. Hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy was prescribed to patients depending on the age in mild (5-6 years) or moderate-to-high (7-17 years) exposure modes. The imported hydrogen sulfide mineral water from the T-2000 well of the Matsesta field with the H 2 S total concentration of 410-420 mg/l was used for treatment. The applications were performed to children alternate days, 8 procedures of balneotherapy per course.
Results: Lightening of the affected areas of the skin, reduction of the sensation of contraction and tension of the scars, which became softer, more elastic and more mobile with regard to the subjacent tissues have been noted in patients after the course of balneotherapy. The head mobility increased after applications in the presence of scars. The large joints' range of motion grew up. In addition, an increase in the mobility of the fingers of wrists and feet, a decrease in the stiffness of movements, increase or recovery of the affected skin's tactile sensitivity have been observed. Children well tolerated procedures, adverse events were seen in 0.7% of cases in the form of mild reactions at the beginning of the applications' course, namely of balneological (0.6%) and toxico-allergic (0.1%) nature.
Conclusion: Hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy in combination with rehabilitation exercises and other sanatorium-resort factors is an effective mean of post-burn scars correction in children.
