Clinical efficacy analysis of sensitive antibiotics combined with Polyhexanide dressing in the treatment of infectious wounds
To investigate the clinical efficacy of polyhexanide in the treatment of infectious wounds.
Methods
2
The data of 78 patients with infectious wounds admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed
and according to different treatment methods
the patients were divided into two groups. The polyhexanide group (39 cases) received sensitive antibiotics combined with polyhexanide liquid wound dressing or polyhexanide gel dressing change
and the control group (39 cases) received sensitive antibiotics combined with conventional dressing change. Time to negative bacterial culture conversion
debridement times
Bates‑Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) and length of hospital stay were evaluated in both groups.
Results
2
The average follow‑up was (7.51±1.46) months for 6⁃12 months. The time for wound bacterial culture to turn negative in polyhexanide group was (7.62±1.70) d
which was significantly shorter than (8.82±1.30) d in control group (
P
<
0.05). The debridement frequency of polyhexanide group was 2.00 (2.00
3.00) times
significantly lower than the 4.00 (3.00
4.00) times in the control group (
P
<
0.05). The decrease of BWAT score in polyhexanide group was (17.21±2.31) points
and that in control group was (12.15±1.71) points
with a statistically significant difference (
P
<
0.05). The hospitalization time of polyhexanide group was (11.82±1.96) d
which was significantly lower than (17.15±2.35) d of control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Polyhexanide is effective in the treatment of infected wounds
as it can not only help the wound heal quickly
but also shorten the time of bacterial infection and hospitalization stay
