Efficacy of Vacuum Sealing Drainage Combined with Mepilex Dressings in the Treatment of Pressure Ulcers
Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD)combined with Mepilex dressings in patients with clinical pressure ulcers.Methods A total of 80 patients clinically diagnosed with pressure ulcer in the author's hospital from November 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into the control group(treated with VSD,n=37)and the observation group(treated with VSD combined with Mepivacaine dressing,n=43)according to different treatment methods.The wound healing related indicators and clinical efficacy of the two groups were statistically compared.Results The incidence of infection during treatment in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the hospitalization time and wound healing time were shorter than those in the control group,and the number of dressing change was less than that in the control group(P<0.05).After 1 month of treatment,the coverage rate of granulation tissue in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the ulcer area was smaller than that in the control group,and the total effective rate of treatment was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion VSD combined with Mepilex in the treatment of pressure ulcer can effectively promote wound healing,shorten wound healing time,and has significant clinical effect.
