Abstract
Objective To explore the healing effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technique using in treatment of deep burn wound. Methods Patients were selected who hospitalized in our hospital because of burn from June 2014 to May 2016, and divided into the VSD group and silver sulfadiazine (SD-Ag) group. The incidence of wound infection, bacterial culture positive rate and wound visual analogue score (VAS) were compared between two groups of patients in different time after burn, and also compared two groups of patients with wound healing time, and incidence of scar and the scar rating scale of vancouver. Results A total of 80 patients were included in the study, and divided into VSD (n=46) and SD-Ag (n=34) groups. The wound infection rate and bacterial culture positive rate in the VSD group were significantly lower than the SD-Ag group after burn for 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d (P<0.05). Patient's wound pain VAS score in the VSD group was less than SD-Ag group after burn for 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d (P<0.05). The wound healing time, incidence of scar, and vancouver scar table score in the VSD group were significantly lower than that of SD-Ag group (P<0.05). Conclusions The use of vacuum sealing drainage of treatment for burn patients can significantly reduce the wound infection, relieve wound pain, promote wound healing, and reduce scar occurred at the same time.
