Abstract：Objective To discuss effect of chitosan hemostatic dressings on wound healing after permanent pacemaker implantation.Methods Totally 200 patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation were randomly divided into test group and control group; each group had 100 cases.For every other day the chitosan dressings was used.Results The number (ratio) of grade A healing cases in test group and control group were 98 (98％) and 82 (82％) (P =0.001) ; others were grade B healing.There was one patient who had postoperative wound bleeding and one patient had pocket hematoma in control group.There was no complication in test group.Multiple regression analysis showed that the grade A ratio of wound healing in test group was related with average age,body mass index,blood pressure,glycosylated hemoglobin,platelet count and international standardization.Grade A ratio was related to glycosylated hemoglobin in the control group.Conclusion Chitosan hemostaticdressings can greatly promote the pacemaker wound healing and reduce complications.
