Application of Vacuum Sealing Drainage in Geriatric Patients with Maxillofacial Space Infection
Objective To observe the application effect of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD)technology in the treatment of maxillofacial space infections in the elderly.Methods Retrospective collection of geriatric patients with maxillofacial space infection who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to October 2022.Patients who underwent traditional incision and drainage surgery were selected as the control group(62 cases),while those who underwent VSD were selected as the observation group(62 cases).The hospital stay,postoperative pain level,number of dressing changes,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,C-reactive protein(CRP),serum procalcitonin(PCT),scar length,mouth opening,incision healing time,comorbidities,outcomes,curative effect,and recurrence were compared between the two groups of patients.Results The hospital stay,number of dressing changes,and white blood cell count,neutrophil count,CRP,PCT,scar length,mouth opening,incision healing time,complications,curative effect,and recurrence of the observation group were all better than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in discharge and death between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with traditional incision and drainage surgery,VSD technology has a better effect on maxillofacial space infections in geriatric patients,which is beneficial for promoting incision healing,reducing patient pain hospital stay.
