Magnetic resonance imaging and pathological evaluation of vacuum sealing drainage efficacy of early treated limb gunshot

Gunshot wound spreads to the surrounding tissues and organs, it is difficult to debride and easy to infect. The conventional treatment is thorough, extensive debridement, fully open drainage, which often causes normal tissue damage and complications. To evaluate the effectiveness of vacuum sealing d...

Summary:Gunshot wound spreads to the surrounding tissues and organs, it is difficult to debride and easy to infect. The conventional treatment is thorough, extensive debridement, fully open drainage, which often causes normal tissue damage and complications. To evaluate the effectiveness of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) treating the penetrating wound in porcine extremity by MRI and pathological methods so as to provide theoretical basis for future clinical use. Eight healthy adult pigs, weighing (45 +/- 5) kg, were selected. Eight pairs of hind limb penetrating wounds (16 wounds) were made by using Chinese-made 95-type rifle at 25 meters distance, which were randomly divided into experimental group (left side, n=8) and the control group (right side, n=8). After debriding and disinfecting the penetrating wounds at 6 hours after injury, wounds were treated with VSD in experimental group. The ballistics exports of the wounds were covered with single-layer gauze and imports were directly sutured and covered with sterile
