CLINICAL TREATMENT METHOD FOR PRESSURE INJURY IN OLDER ADULT PATIENTS WITH BONE INJURY

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Suile ointment wound dressing on wound healing in patients with pressure injury (PI). Methods: Patients with stage II and III PI who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups of 20 patients each, according to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel’s staging table. After debridement, the patients’ wounds in the control group were covered with petrolatum gauze and sterile dressing in the outer layer. Suile ointment wound dressing was applied externally to those in the experimental group, and the outer layer was covered with a sterile dressing. The experimental group included 20 patients with 27 wounds, and the control group included 20 patients with 30 wounds. The white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels were measured to control wound infection. Results: The overall response rates in the experimental group and the control group were 96.3% and 47%, respectively, and the results were statistically significant. Conclusion: Suile ointment wound dressing (wound care ointment) effectively removes dead tissue, promotes tissue regeneration and local vascular expansion, effectively controls wound infection, and relieves pain in patients with stage II and III PI.
