A comparative study of application effect of interactive debridement in patients with abdominal surgical incision infection and tissue necrosis

Objective To study the interactive debridement methods in treatment and nursing of the wound in patients with abdominal surgical incision infection.Methods In May 2010 to December 2013 in West China hospital of Sichuan University,54 patients with postoperative incision infection accompanied with tissue necrosis after gastrointestinal surgery were divided into two groups,23 cases who accepted interactive debridement treatment were set as the observation group,31 cases with traditional dressing hypertonic saline gauze debridement were named as the control group.The wound debridement completion time,wound healing velocity,wound healing time,dressing change frequency and cost were compared between two groups of patients.Results Compared with those of the control group,in the observation group,the wound debridement completion time was shorter,wound healing velocity was faster,dressing change frequency was longer.Although single dressing change cost was higher in the observation group,but the total dressing change cost was lower compared with the control group.Conclusions The interactive debridement methods used in treatment and nursing of patients with abdominal surgical incision infection showed good effect and safety,which is worthy of wide clinical application.
