چکیده
Effective management of wound exudate is key to promoting successful wound healing (White and Cutting, 2006). Wound exudate is produced in response to a complicated interaction between: wound aetiology, wound healing physiology, wound environment and compounding pathological processes (World Union of Wound Healing Societies [WUWHS], 2007). However, wound fluid is also known to assist healing by preventing the drying out of the wound bed, aiding migration of tissue-repairing cells, providing nutrients for cell metabolism and assisting in as they are designed to (Thomas, 2008): 8 Maintain a moist environment 8 Provide thermal insulation 8 Manage exudate 8 Allow gaseous exchange 8 Provide a barrier for bacteria 8 Allow atraumatic dressing changes.

Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Enoxaparin Products in Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism Following Major Obstetric-gynecological Surgeries: An Open-label Randomized Clinical Trial
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in about 5 percent of patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries. Prophylaxis of VTE is recommended using unfractionated heparin (UF) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in high-risk patients. In spite of advantages and confirmed cost-effectiveness of LMWH, high costs of enoxaparin branded preparations limit its use. We aimed to compare the efficacy and...

متن کاملCost-effectiveness of treating vascular leg ulcers with UrgoStart(®) and UrgoCell(®) Contact.
Although chronic wounds have a high socio-economic impact, data on comparative effectiveness of treatments are rare. UrgoStart(®) is a hydroactive dressing containing a nano-oligosaccharide factor (NOSF). This study aimed at evaluating the cost-effectiveness of this NOSF-containing wound dressing in vascular leg ulcers compared with a similar neutral foam dressing (UrgoCell(®) Contact) without ...

The annular foam breaker is one which uses the vacuum and shear force generated by the Coanda effect to break foam. Its effectiveness in destroying drilling foam has been test in wellbore flow simulation loop experimental stand. Experimental results showed that the operating pressure of the annular foam breaker should be larger than 0.6MPa and the stabilizers concentration of the foam drilling ...
