This article provides information about the combined method of conservative treatment of venous trophic ulcers, using phototherapy with polychromatic polarized radiation and pulsed induction magnetotherapy in addition to the standard treatment. The article presents a clinical study of the effectiveness of this method in a group of 14 patients with venous trophic ulcers.

Objective: To investigate the effect of limb elevation on the microcirculation of the skin in patients with venous ulceration of the leg. Design: Prospective study in patients receiving in patient treatment for venous ulceration. Setting: Health Service teaching hospital. Patients: Thirteen patients with venous ulceration of the lower limb for more than two years were investigated. Interventions: Patients were admitted to hospital and treated by bedrest with elevation of the lower limbs by 10° above the horizontal. Main outcome measures: Laser Doppler fluximetry and transcutaneous oximetry of the skin surrounding the venous ulcers was undertaken. Results: The laser Doppler fluximetry in the periculcerous region increased by 10.8 A.U. (95% CI 17 to 4.54). However, the transcutaneous oxygen measurements did not change during the period of treatment. Conclusions: Admission to hospital with elevation of the limb for patients with venous ulceration results in ***microcirculatory changes which are probably attributable to reduction in lower limb oedema.

Vytautas TriponisVilniaus miesto universitetinės ligoninės Kraujagyslių chirurgijos centras,Antakalnio g. 57, LT-10207 VilniusEl paštas: [email protected] Vietiniu būdu veninės opos, kaip ir kitos lėtinės žaizdos, jau daugiau kaip 40 metų gydomos remiantis drėgnojo gydymo koncepcija. Gydymo sėkmė priklauso nuo to, kaip gebame išlaikyti opą drėgną ir nepažeisti fiziologinių gijimo procesų. Opų gydymo rezultatai labai pagerėjo pradėjus vartoti hidrokoloidinius tvarsčius, kuriais galima palaikyti opoje palankų gijimui mikroklimatą ir apsaugoti ją nuo mechaninės, cheminės ir terminės traumos. Kelių pastarojo dešimtmečio tyrimų duomenys rodo, kad gijimas gali būti pagreitintas opą preciziškai išvalant. Išvalymas dažniausiai atliekamas mechaniškai arba autolizės būdu, uždengiant opą okliuziniu, dažniausiai – hidrokoloidiniu tvarsčiu. Antibiotikai vartojami tik sisteminiu būdu ir tik tuomet, kai yra opos aplinkinių audinių uždegimas. Tvarsčiai parenkami pagal opos (žaizdos) gijimo fazes.  Treatment algorithm of venous ulcers Vytautas TriponisVilnius City University Hospital, Vascular Surgery Center,Antakalnio str. 57, LT-10207 Vilnius, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] The local treatment of leg ulcer is based on moist retainment principles. The success of ulcer care depends on how the method applied provides the optimal microclimate for physiological processes in the ulcer. Most effective in this aspect is the method of occlusive dressing. Among occlusive dressings, hydrocolloids take a particular place. They protect the ulcer from mechanical, thermal and chemical trauma, do not irritate the surrounding skin and stimulate autolysis, antimicrobial tissue activity and reepithelialization. After introducing hydrocolloids the rates of ulcer healing increased and the expenses of the treatment subsided. Most of chemical antimicrobial agents were found to impede the physiological processes and therefore the application of some antiseptics were rejected while others were recommended in significantly reduced concentrations.
