Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) combined with local oxygen therapy in the treatment of wounds with exposed bone after debridement. Methods A total of 88 patients with wounds with exposed bone treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were randomly divided into VSD + oxygen therapy group (46 cases) and mechanical treatment group (42 cases). The VSD + oxygen therapy group was treated with VSD combined with local oxygen therapy, and mechanical treatment group was treated with traditional debridement and dressing change. The wound healing, indicators of clinical treatment, clinical indicators of wound microenvironment and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared. Result The percentage of basic healing in VSD + oxygen therapy group was higher than that in mechanical treatment group (P < 0.05). The frequency of dressing change in VSD + oxygen therapy group was less than that in mechanical treatment group, and the complete healing time and hospitalization duration of VSD + oxygen therapy group were shorter than those of mechanical treatment group (P < 0.05). Besides, the wound microenvironment indicated by pH value of exudates, wound temperature, and C-reactive protein (CRP) was different between VSD + oxygen therapy group and mechanical treatment group (P < 0.05). Conclusion VSD combined with local oxygen therapy can promote wound healing, improve wound microenvironment, and enhance the clinical cure rate and safety in the treatment of wounds with exposed bone after debridement.
