Optimization of the puncture treatment method for acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis

Abstract

Optimization of the method of puncture treatment of acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis (ABMS) through the development of original devices for drainage of the maxillary sinus (MS). Registration and comparative analysis of the results of puncture methods of treatment of 120 patients with ABMS using developed new original devices for drainage of MS with one channels and with two channels in comparison with the Kulikovsky's needle (KN) was carried out. Based on the results of the analysis, the effectiveness of the original devices was assessed. During the clinical study, patients were divided into two groups: in group I, patients underwent of the MS puncture using KN, in group II, using original devices. Groups I and II, depending on the absence or presence of a block of the natural anastomosis MS, was divided into subgroups A and B, respectively. After puncture of the MS, the pain syndrome was assessed by patients using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and by doctors - using Touch Visual Pain (TVP) scale. Our study showed that when puncturing the upper jaw with an original needle with one channels and with two channels, compared with the use of KN, there is a decrease in pain (the average VAS score was 1.5±0.3 and 1.7±0.3 points, respectively; the average TVP scale score was 0.9±0.2 and 1.8±0.3 points, respectively, the difference is significant, p≤0.05). Patients of subgroup IB were manipulated with two KN, patients of subgroup IIB manipulated using the original device with two channels without an additional needle (the average VAS score was 3.0±0.4 and 1.3±0.3 points, respectively; the average TVP scale score was 2.7±0.4 and 1.0±0.2 points, respectively, the difference is significant, p≤0.05). The doctors also assessed the devices used for puncture of the upper jaw. As a result of the study, the high efficiency and safety of using new original devices was established.
