Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate efficacy of the serum C-reactive protein as an inflammatory marker in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeries.The objective of the study was to determine the CRP levels preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, 3rd, 5th and 7thpost-operative days in 30 patients who underwent Maxillofacial Surgical procedures.Materials and methods: A 23 gauge needle was used to draw 2 cc of blood initially with tourniquet stasis to identify the vein, and tourniquet was removed once the blood started to flow into the syringe to qualitatively assess the CRP levels preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, 3rd, 5th and 7th post operative days. Additional clinical parameters such as the pain, swelling, mouth opening, treatment efficacy and hospital stay were also noted.Results: the CRP levels increased by the end of 3rd day, which is due to initial immediate inflammation and soft tissue injury caused by the surgery. The additional clinical parameters which were observed such as pain and swelling were more in the first 3 days with the reduced mouth opening. Gradually mouth opening increased with decreased pain and swelling by the end of 7 days. The decrease in CRP levels after the 3rdpostoperative day indicated that prognosis for the treatment was good (Treatment efficacy).Conclusion: It can be concluded that C- reactive protein an inflammatory marker is a reliable, consistent and simple prognostic tool to evaluate post operative inflammation, treatment efficacy and hospital stay.
