Use of a silicon microsensor for pressure monitoring inside the wound and outcomes on healing.

摘要: • Objective: To ascertain the extent to which pressure within a defined neck compartment could be used as predictor for wound healing. Method: Thirty patients with various head and malignancies that were treated surgically, considered prospectively. In course of surgery microsensor was implanted into data collected over first 48 hours postoperatively. logistic regression analysis determine strength interfascial (IP) Results: Mean IP 7.45 ± 6.15mmHg (95%Cl 7.13; 7.77). A model relating good/disturbed healing outcome revealed mean is key variable, major influence on outcome. However, this type only explains approximately 46% total variation in responses. This implies, although change contributes significantly explaining variations healing, there may other significant predictor...
