Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is still a health problem related to the extent amount of time in wound healing process hence increasing the treatment cost. Given any methods that are not sat-isfying, encourage the search of other methods that would increase the wound healing rate, in which hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is amongst them. The DFU patient that receives HBOT shows a significant increase in angiogenesis process markedly by faster epithelialization and granulation process. This study was aimed to prove that HBOT could accelerate the wound healing process among DFU patients measured by wound size and depth of PEDIS score. This was a ran-domized controlled trial study, conducted at Surgery Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Gen-eral Hospital from September 2018 to March 2019. There were 20 DFU patients divided into two groups, each of 10 patients. The control group received a holistic treatment, meanwhile the HBOT group received a holistic treatment added with the inclusion of HBOT. PEDIS score assessment of DFU in HBOT group was measured before and after the third HBOT session, meanwhile the con-trol group was measured on the first and the third day. The results showed that the difference in PEDIS score value was markedly found in HBOT group compared to the control group (2 vs. 0, P=0.001). Conclusion: HBOT could enhance the wound healing process in DFU patients based on the declined PEDIS score.Keywords: HBOT, PEDIS score, diabetic foot ulcerAbstrak: Ulkus kaki diabetik (UKD) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan terkait proses penyembuhan lama sehingga biaya pengobatan meningkat. Belum adanya metode penanganan yang memuaskan, mendorong pencarian metode percepatan penyembuhan luka, salah satunya ialah terapi oksigen hiperbarik (TOHB). Penderita UKD yang menjalani tambahan TOHB diketahui mengalami peningkatan proses angiogenesis yang menghasilkan proses epitelialisasi dan granulasi yang lebih cepat. Tujuan penelitian ialah untuk membuktikan bahwa TOHB dapat mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD, dinilai berdasarkan ukuran dan kedalaman luka melalui skor PEDIS. Penelitian ini menggunakan randomized controlled trial dan dilaksanakan di Bagian Bedah RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado sejak September 2018 sampai dengan Maret 2019. Subyek penelitian sebanyak 20 penderita UKD, dibagi dalam dua kelompok, masing-masing 10 penderita. Kelompok kontrol menjalani penanganan holistik UKD, sedangkan kelompok TOHB menjalani penanganan holistik UKD dengan TOHB. Penilaian skor PEDIS terhadap UKD pada kelompok TOHB dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah TOHB sesi ke-3, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol dilakukan penilaian pada hari ke-1 dan hari ke-3 sesudahnya. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa perubahan skor PEDIS yang terjadi antara kedua pengukuran terlihat lebih besar pada kelompok TOHB dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (2 vs 0, P=0,001). Simpulan. TOHB mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD dinilai dari penurunan skor PEDIS.Kata kunci: TOHB, skor PEDIS, ulkus kaki diabetik

A double-blind randomised controlled trial, comparing pramoxine hydrochloride 1 per cent and hydrocortisone acetate 1 per cent in a mucoadhesive foam base, with simple aqueous foam (B.P.), in relieving episiotomy discomfort and episiotomy healing in 40 patients was carried out. Simple aqueous foam was more effective with regard to wound healing and episiotomy discomfort as measured by analgesic consumption. Pramoxine and hydrocortisone foam offers no advantage over simple aqueous foam in the treatment of post partum episiotomy discomfort.

Abstract Introduction Burn injuries have significant physiological and psychological consequences. Dressing changes have been considered the most painful among all non-surgical procedures. Anxiety, which is closely associated with pain, is a part of the burn and wound-healing process and can cause delays in wound healing and recovery procedures. In addition, anxiety may have a devastating mental and physical influence on patients.What’s more,patients whose symptoms were not adequately alleviated are likely to suffer more in their subsequent dressing changes. Pharmacological treatment is the primary approach for relieving pain and anxiety related to burns. In comparison with traditional analgesics, tramadol is a more manageable drug under clinical conditions. However, due to the variability of the intensity of pain and anxiety in patients, the two symptoms remain under-treated. Recently, much attention has been paid to pain management approaches that combine pharmacological treatments with non-pharmacological therapies. In this regard, this study was designed to analyze the effect of tramadol and its combination with self-selected music on burn patient. Methods To investigate the effects of music and/or tramadol on pain and anxiety in burn outpatients undergoing dressing changes. Patients (N = 180) with burns on up to 10%-30% of the total body surface area (TBSA). The patients were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly allocated to 4 equal-sized groups as follows: 1) tramadol group (TG), patients received 100 mg of tramadol orally 20 min before the dressing change; 2) music group (MG), patients listened to self-selected music during the dressing change; 3) music-plus-tramadol group (MTG), patients received tramadol and listened to self-selected music; and 4) control group (CG), patients received a routine dressing change only. All patients underwent the interventions once per day for 2 days. McGill Pain Questionnaire Short Form (MPQ-SF) (primary outcome), McGill Pain Persian version of Burn Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS) (primary outcome), and heart rate (HR) and overall patient satisfaction (secondary outcomes). Results The results showed that MTG had better outcomes with respect to pain and anxiety management during dressing changes. Conclusions In comparison with music or tramadol alone, the integration of music and tramadol offers a secure and favorable treatment choice to relieve pain and anxiety, ultimately improving the satisfaction levels of burn outpatients during dressing changes. Applicability of Research to Practice The findings showed that the combined approach was more effective in reducing pain and anxiety among the outpatients, as the findings outline the potential use of this technique in the management of dressing changes in burn outpatients.

Objective: Hard-to-heal wounds such as leg (LU) or diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are slow healing, have a high recurrence rate and are associated with infection, smell and exudate. Current therapeutic approaches are multifaceted and focus on improving wound healing and preventing recurrences. Advanced wound dressings, especially super absorbent dressings are an important aspect of wound care, as hard-to-heal wounds tend to produce excessive amounts of exudate, which may contribute to maceration and excoriation, thus delaying wound healing. Additionally, excessive wound exudate is associated with malodour. Therefore, an important aspect of care is the management of exudate and odour. The use of effective advanced wound dressings is a promising strategy to achieve adequate absorption of wound exudate and malodour promoting wound healing. The aim of the current study is to determine whether there is a difference in wound size reduction between wounds dressed with either a sterile polyacrylate wound dressing with activated carbon cloth or a hydrocellular foam dressing with silver. Method: A randomised controlled trial with 248 participants in one wound care outpatient clinic is proposed. Randomisation will be concealed. The outcome assessor will be blinded to the group allocation of participants. Conclusion: This research project compares two wound dressings in an everyday care setting. Since the cost of hard-to-heal wounds to individuals, the economy and society is high, an evaluation of which wound dressing leads to a faster reduction of wound size and subsequent wound healing is an important issue/question for the individuals affected, their families, society and the health-care system.
