Abstract
Objective: to clarify surgeons’ preferences for local drugs and additional treatments for wounds and wound infection. Materials and methods. An anonymous survey was conducted in 232 surgical infection specialists. Results. An analysis of questionnaires revealed surgeons’ preferences for the classification of wound process stages, for the choice of antiseptic solutions, and for that of agents for the local treatment of wound in each of its phases and for additional instrumental and drug therapies. The surgeons reported 46 different drugs for the treatment of wounds and wound infection. A significant percentage of the respondents practised chlorhexidine, dioxidine, iodine, Levomecol, Solcoseryl, and Actovegin ointments, wound physiotherapy, and vascular medications. Conclusion. The survey has revealed a relative shortage of knowledge about current antiseptics and local combined drugs, the high level of prescription of ineffective local antimicrobial agents, the use of a number of drugs in the wound process phase when they exert no optimal effect, as well as the high frequency of prescribing instrumental and drug treatments for wounds. An attempt has been made to analyze the surgeons’ choice and to define ways to improve the treatment of wounds and wound infection.
