Optimal evidence summary for chronic wounds exudate management
Objective To summarize the optimal evidence for improving the management of chronic wounds exudate,so as to provide evidence-based references for medical professionals,therapists,patients,and their caregivers.Methods PubMed,Wanfang,CNKI,Medlive,UpToDate,etc.,were searched by computer for literature about chronic trauma exudate management.The retrieval time limit was from 1998 to 2023.Two researchers trained in evidence-based practice evaluated the quality of the included literature and finally extracted evidence from the literature that met the quality evaluation criteria.Results A total of 11 articles were included,including 2 expert consensuses,7 systematic reviews,1 randomized controlled trial,and 1 guideline,covering 7 aspects of the assessment of the nature of chronic wounds exudate,selection of exudate assessment tools,management of antimicrobial concerns,selection and application of wound dressings,negative pressure wound drainage therapy,wound drainage bags,and affected limb elevation or compression therapy for patients with venous leg ulcers.A total of 13 best evidences were extracted.Conclusions When applying evidence,medical professionals should fully evaluate and combine the individual circumstances of the patient,make full use of existing resources,new treatment concepts and technologies,and carry out comprehensive integrated management.This can optimize the management of chronic wounds exudate and improve the quality of life of patients.
