Abstract: Objective To explore the influence of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD) technology in snake bite treatment.Methods 108 patients of snake bites need to incision decompression were randomly divided into two groups,VSD group (VSD) 58 cases,conventional group (wound change dressings ordinarily) 50 cases.The secondary suture of time,the number of change dressings,material consumption fees,antibiotics use cost,wound infection rate,in hospital,average length of hospital stay were compared between two groups.Results Compared the VSD group with the conventional group,the secondary suture of time (t =11.743,P ＜ 0.05),the number of change dressings (t =50.661,P ＜ 0.05),material consumption fees (t =9.054,P ＜ 0.05),antibiotics use cost (t =21.515,P ＜ 0.05),wound infection rate (x2 =9.155,P ＜ 0.05),in hospital,average length of hospital stay (t =10.350,P ＜ 0.05) had significant differences.Conclusion VSD technique can be a ideal way to treat snake bites patients and worth popularizing at this stage.
