ABSTRACT

Objective Observation and discussion about the treatment effect with home-made vacuum drainage and Algoplaque on severe pressure ulcers. Methods The patients with severe pressure ulcers selected from Yuebei Peole′s Hospital of Shaoguan city from January to December 2016 were randomly divided into three groupsexperimental group, control group A and group B (30 cases in each). The patients were treated with home-made vacuum drainage and Algoplaque in the experimental group, meanwhile a simple use of Algoplaque treatment in control group A and VSD technology in control group B only. Observed and compared the effect in the three groups on the time of dressing change, wound healing time and the total cost. Results The wound healing time of experimental group.contral group A and group B were (24.10 ± 2.12), (33.26 ± 1.71), (27.87 ± 1.95) days, the times of dressing change were 5.52 ± 0.96, 35.84 ± 1.81, 7.23 ± 1.09, dressing costs were (629.95 ± 28.10) yuan, (1354.29 ± 301.63) yuan, (10825.38±1678.21) yuan, and the differences were statistically significant (F=175.961, 5017.527, 1029.377, all P<0.01), and the wound healing time, dressing times, dressing costs were lower than the control group A and B in the observation group. Conclusion The treatment of home-made vacuum drainage and Algoplaque on patients with severe pressure ulcers can obviously reduce the time of dressing change and wound recovery, and the cost also. It is worthy to promote in clinic.
