Abstract:
Objective?To explore the safety of hydrophilic fiber containing silver dressings used on the wound of the patient with pressure sore. Methods?From January 2014 to January 2017, 60 elderly patients with pressure sore from inpatient and outpatient of Geriatrics Department of Shenzhen People's Hospital were selected as the research object. They were divided randomly into control group and experimental group, 30 patients for each group. Patients in the experimental group used hydrophilic fiber containing silver dressings on half of the area of the wound. Patients in the control group used hydrophilic fiber containing silver dressings on the whole area of the wound. All the treatment lasted for 4 weeks. Silver concentration of serum, serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase value were detected in two groups of patients. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 statistical software. Results?After the use of hydrophilic fibers containing silver dressing, the silver concentration of serum in the two groups increased, the value reached a peak in the third week and a downtrend in the fourth week; There were no significant differences in silver concentration of serum between the two groups in the first 3 weeks (P＞ 0.05), but the difference was statistically significant only in the fourth week (P＜ 0.05). There were no significant differences between the serum creatinine and alanine transaminase in the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions?The usage of hydrophilic fibers containing silver dressing cannot directly affect serum creatinine and alanine transaminase within four weeks.
