To compare the surface pressure of various adhesive dressing after mastectomy. Studydesign:
Experimental study in thoracic and breast model. Intervention Four types of adhesive dressing, including 1) adhesive dressing with fixumull® 2) adhesive dressing with OCL elastic bandage BPC 3) adhesive dressing with tensoplast® EAB 4) adhesive dressing with compressive brassiere, were applies to the model. Surface pressure was measures at 0, 1, 6, 24 hours. The experiment was repeated for 6 times. Data were analysed by using ANCOVA and repeated measure analysis.Results:
The surface pressure of adhesive dressing with fixumull®, OCL elastic bandage BPC® , tensoplast® EAB and compressive brassiere were not different. The surface pressure of adhesive dressing from compressive brassiere was the most sustainable during the first 24 hours.Conclusion:
Each kinds of adhesive dressing produced different pressure. the adhesive dressing from compressive brassiere was the most sustainable of the surface pressure than others. Vajira Med J 2005 ; 49 117 - 122
