Abstract
Local inflammatory reaction is the basis of wound healing. Inappropriate inflammatory reaction will delay wound healing. This study aimed to investigate the effect of silver-containing dressings combined with hydrogel on healing of immunosuppression-induced skin ulcerations (IISU). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 cases of patients with IISU admitted to The First People's Hospital of Jiande from March 2018 to March 2019. According to the different treatment methods, the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 24 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group were treated with silver-containing dressings combined with hydrogel, while patients in the control group were treated with silver-containing dressings alone. Initially, patients in the observation group and control group were treated with the same method of debridement and cleaning. Afterwards, for patients in the observation group, the wounded surface was coated with a layer of hydrogel. Both groups had the wound covered with a silver-containing dressing as the inner dressing, and gauze was used as the outer dressing to wrap and fix the wound. The dressing change frequency was the same for both groups. The effective rate, basic healing rate, and complete healing rate of the two groups were compared after one week and two weeks of treatment. The effective rate of dressing application and wound healing rate in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). A silver-containing dressing combined with hydrogel as the inner dressing can provide a better environment for wound healing, significantly shorten the course of treatment of patients with IISU, promote the early recovery of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it can be applied in clinical practice.
