ABSTRACT

Objective To explore detection value of vacuum sealing drainage in osteomyelitis of sternum after cardio-thoracic surgery operation.Methods 132 cases of osteomyelitis of sternum after cardio-thoracic surgery operation were randomly divided into two groups(research group and control group).The research group had 72 cases)and the control group had 60 cases.The control group was treated with conventional treatment.The research group was treated with vacuum sealing drainage.The average healing time and clinical therapeutic effect of the two groups were observed.Results The patients'age and the sternum of osteomyelitis was significantly related,with OR=1.153 and P＜0.05.After treatment,the average healing time of the research group was(3.1±0.8)months.The average healing time of the control group was(7.2±1.5)months.The average healing time of the two groups had significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Vacuum sealing drainage in osteomyelitis of sternum after cardio-thoracic surgery operation has sure curative effect.It can change chronic wounds for acute tissue effectively,shorten the healing time.It has high application value in the first phase of treatment and the second phase of repair.
