“…Loss of limb is a traumatic experience to the patient psychologically. Among the newer methods of wound healing like hyperbaric therapy [6] , honey dressings [7] , low voltage electrical stimulation [8] , topical insulin therapy [9] etc. negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is showing promising results in studies conducted at several centres.…”

Introduction: Bedsores contribute to the morbidity of bedridden patients and pose challenge for their rehabilitation. Newer methods are being practised and one among them is negative pressure wound therapy. This study was designed to evaluate its efficacy when compared to gauze dressings. Objectives: To study the effectiveness of negative pressure wound dressings over gauze dressings with respect to rate of wound healing. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done on patients presenting with bedsores to surgery OPD at Narayana medical college. Patients were divided into two groups by random allocation wherein one group had gauze dressings and the other group underwent negative pressure wound therapy. From the time of initiation of treatment once in every week wound size and depth were measured for 6 consecutive weeks. Results were analysed. Results: There was significant improvement in patients treated with negative pressure wound therapy with respect to wound depth and area. Conclusion:Negative pressure wound therapy is an effective method in the management of bedsores.

Introduction: Foot complications are a major cause of hospitalization in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which consumes a high number of hospital days because of multiple surgical procedures and prolonged length of stay. Patients with DM have up to a 25% lifetime risk of developing a foot ulcer, which precedes amputation in up to 85% of cases. A mainstay of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) therapy is debridement of all necrotic, callus, and fibrous tissue, with a primary goal to obtain wound closure. Materials and Methods: Cases with diabetic foot ulcer presenting to our OPD/IPD and signing the informed consent form before study as well as fulfilling the inclusion criteria mentioned along with detailed clinical examination of the patient as well as laboratory workup the study was an open labelled randomised control trial. Results: The study was carried out with 64 patients selected randomly and sorted into two groups, i.e. the control and test subjects. No difference was observed in two groups with respect to wound depth after debridement (p-0.85). However, the depth of wound was significantly less in insulin group at week 1, 2 and 3 as compared to control group. The percentage decrease in wound depth was more in insulin group than control group by the end of 3rd week. Primary closure was observed in 62.5% and 84.4% patients while STSG was required in 37.5% and 15.6% cases of control and insulin group respectively.
