Popis: Purpose. To assess the effectiveness of sub-narcotic concentrations of xenon in the local treatment of extensive wounds in children with severe injuries.Material and methods. 14 patients (average age 9.3 ± 4.0 years) with extensive wounds were taken into the trial. 67 dressings in them were done with 30 % xenon and oxygen. Pain intensity was assessed by the numerical rating scale of pain (NRSp) (1–10 points); sedation depth – by Ramsay scale (1–6 points) and BIS index.Results. Inhalations of 30 % xenon with oxygen during wound dressings reduced the intensity of pain from Me 3.67 (1.2; 6.0) to Me 2.0 (1.0; 3.3) points by NRSp scale (p < 0.05); after sedanalgesia, it increased again to Me 3.0 (1.0; 5.3). Analgesia with 30 % xenon was effective in 55 (82.0 %) dressings; in 8 (11.9 %) patients with trauma, xenon concentration was increased to 50 %, and in 4 (5.9 %) cases 50 % xenon was added with Fentanyl 1–2 mcg/kg. The depth of sedation assessed by the Ramsay scale decreased (p < 0.05) from 6.0 (5.6; 6.0) to 3.1 (2.2; 4.5) points; after sedanalgesia it increased to Me 5.0 (4.5; 5.4) points. At the same time, the mean value of BIS index decreased (p < 0.05) from 97.5 ± 1.5 to 86.5 ± 5.0 U; after dressing, it rapidly increased to 93.0 ± 2.1 U. During dressings, 82 % of children were calm, had contact with a doctor. Afterwards, their sleep was restored, their mood improved.Conclusion. Sedanalgesia with xenon in sub-narcotic concentrations is an effective technique to relieve pain during treatment of extensive wounds in children.
