Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided puncture in the treatment of maxillofacial space infections.METHODS A total of 66 patients with maxillofacial space infections from Jan 2008 to Feb 2012 in our hospital,who were treated under ultrasound-guided puncture,were set as the observation group.66 cases with antibiotics intravenous treatment at the same period were set as the control group.The total effective rate,effective time and serum CRP,PCT content 1 day and 3 days before the treatment for the two groups of patients were taken for statistics and comparison.RESULTS The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was 100.00%,higher than 93.94% in the control group,the effective time was(6.8±1.6) days in the observation group,(10.5±1.9)day in the control group,both the serum CRP and the PCT levels 1 day and 3 days after treatment were lower in the observation group than in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P0.05).CONCLUSION The ultrasound-guided puncture is effective in the treatment and control of maxillofacial space infections.
