Abstract:
Objective Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and moist wound therapy (MWT) are two new methods for wound care .Whether the united is better than the single .The study was to observe and compare the effects of using negative pres-sure wound therapy ( NPWT) combined with moist wound therapy ( MWT) and simple MWT in the treatment of traffic crush injuries . Methods 32 cases were randomly divided into two groups:intervention group and control group , 16 cases for each group .In interven-tion group, wounds were first treated by NPWT for 21 days, followed by standardized MWT till healing .In control group, wounds were treated by standardized MWT till healing .Consensus methods were applied in the measurements before treatment , 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after treatment .The measurements were involved in wound size , depth, undermined edge and the ratio of granulation tissue covering wound bed .Calculation were made on the construction rates of wound size , depth, volume and undermined edge along with re-cords of the time 100%granulation tissue covering wound bed and healing .The database was set up and statistical analysis were done by SPSS 16.0 software. Results The healing rate was 100%for both groups.During 21 days of treatment, the construction rates of wound size, volume, depth and undermined edge of intervention group were better than those of control group (P<0.05).The time 100%granulation tissue covering wound bed of intervention group was shorter than that of control group ([25.00 ±5.77] d vs [41.25 ±18.32]d, P=0.000).The healing time of intervention group was about two weeks shorter than of control group , but with no significance([67.63 ±22.38]d vs [83.56 ±55.31]d, P=0.597). Conclusion NPWT is applicable to traffic crush injuries in combination with MWT , which could promote the growth of granulation tissue and help construct and heal the wounds .NPWT combined with MWT has prior effects to simple MWT .
