A PROPOSED TECHNIQUE FOR THE POSTOPERATIVE MONITORING OF SKIN TENSION IN BELOW-KNEE AMPUTEESa
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of abnormal amounts of fluid within body tissues (defined as edema) is generally considered detrimental to normal cell physiology, including wound healing following surgery . Appropriate postoperative wound management seeks to prevent, control and reduce edema. The accurate monitoring of volume changes within a given mass of tissue can indicate the amount of edema present and thus reflect the effectiveness of the wound management utilized . Unfortunately, volume measurement is technically difficult in the clinical setting . The need to maintain wound sterility, wound support, and control of pain, and the limited efficiency and precision of present monitoring devices, all create technical obstacles . Displacement
