Abstract
Background: According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of patients on diabetes mellitus is now more than 415 million people on Earth, until 2030 it will increase to 439 million, and by 2035 ― will reach 592 million. Throughout life, 4.625% of patients with diabetes mellitus develops a diabetic foot syndrome with the formation of wounds, whose treatment, can not yet be considered satisfactory, since in 1525% of patients are the direct cause of high amputations of the lower limbs. This requires finding new effective methods for treating wound defects in patients with diabetic foot syndrome, one of which can be vacuum wound therapy.
 Aims: To study the effectiveness of vacuum therapy in the treatment of acute and chronic wound process in patients with diabetic foot syndrome, depending on the pathogenetic form of the lesion.
 Materials and methods: The effect of vacuum therapy on the course of acute and chronic wound process in 231 patients with neuropathic and ischemic form of diabetic foot syndrome was studied during 20142017. Evaluation of the dynamics of the wound process was carried out on the basis of clinical, planimetric, microbiological, morphological methods, as well as microcirculation indices in the area round the wound.
 Results: Vacuum therapy of acute and chronic wounds in patients with different pathogenetic forms of diabetic foot syndrome, allows to stabilize the course of wound process, stimulate regenerative processes in the wound, improve local microcirculation (p0.05). This, in turn, allows a shorter time to prepare a wound for closure by one of the methods of plastic surgery or create favorable conditions for its independent epithelization. In patients with ischemic lesions (chronic arterial insufficiency of the third degree), the carrying out of vacuum therapy by standard method leads to an intensification of the pain syndrome. This causes the need to apply an initial negative pressure in the system in the range of 7080 mm Hg, which makes it possible to stop pain during the day. At 23 days of the postoperative period, negative pressure is established at standard values.
 Conclusions: Vacuum therapy of wounds in patients with diabetic foot syndrome is an effective method of treatment that allows the doctor to reduces the duration of treatment of patients in hospital with a neuropathic form of diabetic foot syndrome on average (4.31.7) bed-days, and patients with ischemic form ― on average (4.11.9) bed-days, which has both medical and social significance.
Highlights
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of patients on diabetes mellitus is more than 415 million people on Earth, until 2030 it will increase to 439 million, and by 2035 ― will reach 592 million
Throughout life, 4.6−25% of patients with diabetes mellitus develops a diabetic foot syndrome with the formation of wounds, whose treatment, can not yet be considered satisfactory, since in 15−25% of patients are the direct cause of high amputations of the lower limbs
In patients with ischemic lesions, the carrying out of vacuum therapy by standard method leads to an intensification of the pain syndrome
Summary
Проблема требует поиска эффективных методов лечения раневых дефектов у больных с синдромом диабетической стопы, одним из которых может быть вакуумная терапия. Изучено влияние вакуумной терапии на течение острого и хронического раневого процесса у 231 больного с нейропатической и ишемической формой синдрома диабетической стопы на протяжении 2014–2017 гг. Вакуумная терапия острых и хронических ран у больных с разными патогенетическими формами СДС позволяет стабилизировать течение раневого процесса, стимулировать регенераторные процессы в ране, улучшить локальную микроциркуляцию (р
