摘要:The aim of this retrospective, multi-center, randomized controlled cohort study was to investigate the frequency of wound infection in patients derived from a rural-agricultural setting with dirty-contaminated wounds after wound debridement and a single wound cleansing using ringer solution or hydrogen-peroxide, or a single wound antiseptic using polihexanide or povidone-iodine, respectively. Wound cleansing or antiseptic was performed regardless if wounds were primarily closed, partially closed or left open.
The lowest frequency of wound infection was observed in patients where the wound was treated with polihexanide after wound debridement. It can be concluded that polihexanide-based wound antiseptics can be recommended to be used for the management of traumatic contaminated wounds.
