Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of nano-silver antibacterial dressing on infection control in the patients with diabetic foot. Methods 60 patients with diabetic foot who were treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into intervention group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. Both groups strictly controlled blood glucose levels. After debridement, the intervention group was given nano-silver antibacterial dressing. The control group was given vaseline dressing. The degree of wound pain, the severity of wound ulcer, and the area of ulcer were evaluated at the time of enrollment and 4 weeks after treatment. The ulcer healing time and the number of dressing changes were counted in both groups. Results After intervention, the Wagner grading of the two groups was significantly improved compared with that before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); after treatment, the Wagner grading in the intervention group was significantly better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After intervention, the ulcer area of the two groups was significantly lower than that before the intervention (P<0.05); the ulcer area in the intervention group was smaller than that in the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The VAS in the two groups after intervention was significantly lower than that before the intervention (P<0.05); the VAS in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The ulcer healing time in the intervention group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the number of dressing changes was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of nano-silver antibacterial dressing can promote the healing of ulcers, reduce the ulcer area, improve the Wagner grading and reduce the number of dressing changes.
