Detailed Description: Title Comparative Efficacy of Advanced and Traditional Wound Dressings in Post-Operative Orthopedic Care A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy of advanced wound dressings with traditional gauze-based dressings in post-operative orthopedic care The study evaluates patient comfort pain management ease of application exudate management and the incidence of early surgical site complications

Study Type Interventional Clinical Trial

Study Design Randomized Controlled Single-Centre Open-Label Study

Primary Purpose Treatment

Study Start Date August 10 2022

Study Completion Date December 10 2022

Primary Completion Date December 10 2022

Estimated Enrollment 320 participants

Intervention Model Parallel Assignment

Masking None Open Label

Interventions

Participants undergoing orthopedic surgical procedures were randomized into four groups

Group A Aquacel Ag Hydrofibre wound dressing with ionic silver Group B OPSITE Transparent waterproof cotton pad with high Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate Group C MEPILEX POST OP BORDER 4-layer foam dressing with flex technology Group D Traditional dressing with gauze pieces surgical pads and porous paper adhesive strips

Objectives

To assess the incidence of early surgical site complications such as blisters infection maceration rashes redness swelling and dehiscence at days 3 7 and 14

To determine the pain and discomfort experienced by patients during dressing changes using a visual analog scale

To evaluate the ability to perform activities of daily living comfortably To assess nurses ease of application and removal of the dressings

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures Incidence of surgical site complications at days 3 7 and 14

Secondary Outcome Measures Pain levels during dressing changes comfort and mobility in daily activities ease of application and removal of the dressings and patient satisfaction

Data Collection Methods

Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire validated by experts The questionnaire included a wound assessment checklist a 10-point Likert scale for patient comfort and mobility a Visual Analog Scale for pain and a rating scale for nurses ease of application and removal

Statistical Analysis

Categorical variables were presented as numbers and percentages Continuous variables were presented as mean SD and median values Data normality was checked using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test Quantitative variables were analyzed using ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc tests as appropriate

Qualitative variables were analyzed using the Chi-Square test or Fishers exact test for cells with expected values less than 5

A p-value of less than 005 was considered statistically significant

Ethics and Registration

Detailed Description

This study evaluates the comparative efficacy of different wound dressings used in post-operative orthopedic care The focus is on advanced dressings such as Aquacel Ag OPSITE and MEPILEX POST OP BORDER compared to traditional gauze-based dressings The study measures various parameters including patient comfort pain during dressing changes ease of application and removal by nurses and management of wound exudate Data were collected at three time points days 3 7 and 14 post-surgery The results aim to provide insights into the best practices for post-operative wound management in orthopedic patients
