Improvement of physical factors in the local treatment of burn wounds
Abstract
The article presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the use of low temperature argon plasma of an arc discharge of atmospheric pressure in the treatment of 2nd and 3rd degree skin burns (ICD-10). Burns had a different etiology (flame, boiling water, contact) and area. The change in the microflora of burn wounds after a single application of the PLAZMORAN installation was determined in three groups of patients, depending on the type of surgical treatment (dermabrasion, early necrectomy with plastic surgery and plastic surgery on granulating wounds). Based on the analysis of bacteriological studies, it was found that the use of low temperature air plasma of an arc discharge of atmospheric pressure reduces the contamination of wounds by pathogenic microflora.
