ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy of self-made Arnebiae oil by our hospital on phaseⅠandⅡpressure ulcers. Methods A total of 324 pressure wounds of 283 cases collected from March 2014 to August 2015 were randomly divided into the observation group (145 cases) and the control group (138 cases). The control group received Kangfuxin solution in conjunction with conventional pressure ulcer care treatment, the observation group were treated with Arnebiae oil and conventional pressure ulcer care treatment. The therapeutic effect and healing time of both groups were compared. Results Arnebiae oil was effective in 96.97% (160/165) of the pressure ulcer patients and cured 84.85% (140/165) patients in the observation group. Nearly 84.91%(135/159) patients were effective and 50.94%(81/159) patients were cured in the control group. There was statistical significance (χ2=42.93, 14.46, P<0.01). The healing time was (8.78±4.27) d in the observation group and (10.46±3.99) d in the control group with significance(t=2.88, P< 0.05). The healing rates of Arnebiae oil sacrococcygeal region, hips, legs and other parts were 87.96%(95/108), 9/10, 12/16, 9/9, significantly higher than those of the control group, 46.43%(39/84), 6/12, 3/9, 9/15, the difference had statistical significance (χ2=4.02-44.35, P<0.05). Conclusion Arnebiae oil com-bined with the overall care can improve the rate of wound healing in aged pressure ulcer, which is suitable for clinical application.
