Abstract

Introduction: Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is an alternative method of wound management, which uses negative pressure to prepare the wound for spontaneous healing or for lesser reconstructive options.Aims and Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of VAC dressings in the healing of chronic wounds, as compared to normal wound dressings.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 60 patients with chronic wounds randomly divided into groups of 30 each, to compare VAC dressing with conventional dressings.

Results: There was a significant difference in total hospital stay, granulation tissue fill up and graft take up in both groups. The mean duration of hospital stay in Group A and Group B was 22.4 ± 5.61 and 28.57 ± 6.45 days, respectively. The mean percentage of granulation tissue formation in Group A was 94.12 ± 6.03, and in Group B was 91.2 ± 2.71.

Conclusion: Activated Carbon dressing was found to be more beneficial and patient- patient friendly with lesser hospital stay and thus lesser cost than conventional dressings.

真空辅助封闭治疗感染创面的临床意义：一项观察性比较研究。

简介：真空辅助闭合（VAC）是伤口管理的一种替代方法，它使用负压为伤口的自发愈合或较小的重建选择做准备。目的和目的：确定VAC敷料在慢性伤口愈合中的有效性，并与普通伤口敷料进行比较。材料与方法：将60例慢性创面患者随机分为两组，每组30例，比较VAC敷料与常规敷料的差异。结果：两组患者的总住院时间、肉芽组织填充量和移植物占用率均有显著性差异。A组和B组患者平均住院时间分别为22.4±5.61天和28.57±6.45天。A组肉芽组织形成率平均为94.12±6.03，B组为91.2±2.71。结论：与传统敷料相比，活性炭敷料对患者更有益，对患者更友好，住院时间更短，成本更低。
