Prompt intervention is indicated to minimise infection and expedite healing. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare clinical outcomes following transition from using gel-forming fibre dressings containing silver (GFFS) to the routine use of dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings in a tertiary paediatric burns centre.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study followed a retrospective, observational comparative design.

Persistent infection in four patients in the GFFS group necessitated a change to DACC. These findings aligned with a reduced number of patients with significant bacterial growth (\u226510\n                      <jats:sup>\n                        <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">5<\/jats:xref>\n                      <\/jats:sup>\n                      colony-forming units\/ml) in the DACC group compared to the GFFS dressing group.
