التأثيرات الفورية والمتأخرة بعد التنضير على أعداد الجروح البكتيرية في الأنسجة الناتجة عن حمض الهيبوكلوروس مقابل الري بالمحلول الملحي في الجروح المزمنة
المُلخص:
Introduction: Wound debridement is considered essential in chronic wound management. Hypochlorous acid has been shown to be an effective agent in reducing wound bacterial counts in open wounds. Ultrasound-enabled wound debridement is an effective and efficient method of debridement. This study compared ultrasound irrigation with hypochlorous acid versus saline irrigation for wound debridement on pre- and postoperative wounds and determined regrowth of bacteria over 1 week period of time. Finally, the outcome of definitive wound closure of the clinically clean-appearing wounds was recorded. Methods: Seventeen consenting adult patients with chronic open wounds were randomly ultrasound versus saline alone.
