Comparative study of ionic silver dressing and vacuum sealing drainage in dressing change for chronic wounds
Abstract：Objective:To compare the efficacy of ionic silver dressing with that of vacuum sealing drainage( VSD)in the treatment of chronic wounds. Methods:120 patients with chronic wounds were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group(60 cases in each group). The ionic silver dressing was used to directly cover or fill the wounds of the patients after wound debridement in the experimental group;the wounds of the patients were filled and fixed by VSD dressing after thorough debridement and hemostasis in the con-trol group. The therapeutic effect,cost of dressing change,times of dressing change,healing time and the degree of pain of the patients were compared between the two groups. Results:The effective rate was significantly higher,the cost of dressing change,times of dressing change and healing time were significantly less and shorter and the degree of pain of the patients was lower in the experimental group than the con-trol group(P﹤0. 05,P﹤0. 01). Conclusion:The efficacy of ionic silver dressing is significantly superior to that of VSD in treatment of chronic wounds.
