Abstract
Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the effects of Silver Sulfadiazine for the treatment of burns. Methods: This study is an integrative literature review, in the electronic libraries BVS and SCIELO with the following bases: LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE and PUBMED. It was decided to carry out a study in the period of the last 5 years due to updates on the topic addressed. Results: A total of 23,282 were identified in the databases, making a final sample of 11 articles for the construction of this article. Patients with burn injuries have different needs, as well as aggravating complications in different body systems. Silver Sulfadiazine is a drug resulting from the union of two agents (Silver Nitrate and Sulfadiazide Acid). The dressing with the application of the drug helps, relieves pain and accelerates the healing process.
