Đánh giá tác dụng hỗ trợ của plasma lạnh trong chăm sóc vết mổ thành bụng ở người bệnh ung thư

The escalating global concern regarding antibiotic resistance necessitates the exploration of innovative and effective adjunct therapies for wound management, particularly in complex patient populations. In this context, cold plasma technology emerges as a promising intervention with antimicrobial and regenerative properties. This study addresses the critical need to enhance postoperative care and reduce complications in vulnerable groups. Specifically, it aims to evaluate the supportive effect of cold plasma in wound care following abdominal surgery in cancer patients, focusing on its efficacy in promoting healing and improving patient comfort. This research provides valuable insights into optimizing recovery pathways and integrating advanced therapeutic modalities within oncology settings.

This controlled intervention study investigated the efficacy of cold plasma in abdominal wound care among cancer patients at Hợp Lực General Hospital. The research involved patients with abdominal wall incisions, comparing outcomes between a plasma-treated group and a non-plasma group. Key findings demonstrated significant benefits in the plasma-treated cohort. Specifically, the sensation of tightness and suture knots was markedly lower in the plasma group (8.9%) compared to the non-plasma group (26.7%), indicating improved comfort. The study also revealed a statistically significant acceleration in wound healing rates, with the plasma group showing faster recovery. Furthermore, patients treated with cold plasma experienced significantly lower levels of postoperative pain on days 3, 5, and 7. The procedure was generally swift, lasting 1-3 minutes, and most wounds required less than 10 treatments. Crucially, the hospitalization time for the plasma-treated group was shorter (6.1 ± 1.1 days vs. 7.1 ± 1.6 days for the control group), contributing to earlier patient discharge. Safety was a notable aspect, with 93.3% of subjects reporting comfort and no significant adverse events like electric shock or heat, while only a small percentage experienced mild itching (2.2%) or burning (4.5%). These results underscore that cold plasma application effectively accelerates wound healing, mitigates postoperative pain, minimizes the risk of infection, and enhances overall treatment efficacy, thereby streamlining wound care and facilitating earlier patient release.
