Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The management of ulcers is expensive and economic burden it throws on our expanding geriatric population is tremendous. Thus it is paramount to carefully evaluate the efficacy of different wound dressings and a cost-benefit analysis to optimize health care spending. A hydrocolloid dressing is a water type of dressing that contains gel-forming agents in an adhesive compound laminated into a flexible, water-resistant outer layer. Some formulations contain an alginate to increase absorption capabilities. These are self adhesive and available with or without an adhesive border and in various thicknesses and precut shapes for such body areas as the sacrum, elbows and heels. Objective: To establish the role of Hydrocolloid dressing in wound management and also its superiority with other methods. Methods: This is comparative randomize study in which we will take 200 cases. We will applied hydrocolloid dressing in group A (100 cases of ulcers) while remaining group B (100 cases) will be applied conventional dressing and during study time of period we will compare both groups and see which dressing is superior. Results: In this study, comparison of wound dressing done between hydrocolloid dressing and conventional dressing by various measures such as early granulation tissue, decrease hospital stay and early skin grafting, which conclude that hydrocolloid dressing is more efficacious than conventional dressing. Conclusion: Hydrocolloid dressing helps in making healing process faster in such way making ulcer with early healthy granulation tissue, so patient undergone early in skin grafting and hospital stay will be decreased.
