Determining the effect of using wet dressing with normal saline on infection, scar and the healing process of surgical wound in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and comparing it with the routine method.
Design
A clinical trial with two intervention and control groups. A blind strain, randomized with a random number table. Phase 3. On 100 patients.
Settings and conduct
In the intervention group, from the day of surgery to the seventh, during the dressing change, a gauze soaked in normal saline is used. While in the control group, the routine method is used for dressing the surgical wound. The wound will be evaluated by the doctor and the researcher on days 3, 7, 13 and 21 after the surgery. and to evaluate the checklists for checking scars (Vancouver) and checklists (REEDA) as well as regarding the definite diagnosis of infection, from inflamed and exuding wounds directly and through sterile methods by sterile swap sampling and from blood environments, EMB and chocolate agar will be used to check for microbial contamination. The location of the study is Imam Ali (AS) hospital in Bojnoord. Also, the person who prepares and examines the culture samples does not know whether the patient is in the intervention group or the control group.
