Objective To investigate the curative effect of facility negative pressure closed drainage on wounds in earthquake.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 35 patients treated by facility negative pressure closed drainage after debridement in earthquake. The same category patients treated by conventional therapy as the control group.
Results Time of facility negative pressure closed drainage was 6-12 days, average 7.5±1.8 days. The wounds
were all cured. The wounds closure were performed with skin grafting in 24, with secondary suturing in 4, with regional
flap transposition in 5, and with cross leg flap in 2. There were significant differences in time of secondary closure, times
of dressing and the total time of hospitalization between two groups (P lt;0.01). And there was a significant difference in
curative effect of skin grafting between two groups (P lt;0.05).
Conclusion Facility negative pressure closed drainage on treating wounds in earthquake is a simple, safe method, and has significant curative effect.
