It is very important to clean wounds often. This can be any kind of wound, whether it is a wound that formed after an operation or just a wound after you hurt yourself. The wound should be carefully looked after and one of the most effective ways to this is by using pulse lavage.
If there is, a lot of debridement to be done then there really is no use in putting the pressure of the hydrotherapy too low to prevent the patient from experiencing any pain, but no debridement takes place. This is why there are a few other options you can choose to prepare the wound for proper debridement and at the same time apply some pain control. This is how you do it.
The reason why it is good to irrigate and debride the wound by using the pressurized irrigation method is because this will promote the growth of certain cells that is responsible to form granulation tissue. This could happen without having the underlying tissue and wound bed disturbed. The negative pressure that could be created and caused by the suction can also stimulate the granulation of the cells.
Everyone knows that if you have for example an old sports injury, it will be sore when it gets cold. When you have an open wound when it is cold, the chances of the wound healing very fast are very slim, as cold weather does not promote fast healing. This is one concern that many people had about the hydrotherapy that is used on an open wound.
The saline will clean the wound and remove of the damaged tissue, but it will not be able to promote the healing of the wound, as the saline is cold. In fact, the cold saline might even go as far as slowing down the complete healing process.
The force and the pressure of which the water will be coming out at can be adjusted to what is best for the specific wound. The pressure should be adjusted according to the amount of tissue in the wound that needs to be debrided and also how much slough is in the wound. All these things should be taken into account when this kind of hydrotherapy has been chosen to clean and treat the wound.
Some people might find this difficult to do, but it really is very easy to do this. Here is what you do. While you prepare the patient and the wound, take a bottle of saline water, wrap it in a towel and put it right up against the patient.
The towel will prevent the cold bottle from touch the patient directly and to make to patient uncomfortable. The body temperature of the patient on the other hand, will help the saline heat up to a temperature that will help promote the healing of the wound but also low enough to prevent crystallization of the salt particles. It really is that simple. By doing this one very easy step, you will also help promote the healing of the wound, so that recovery takes less time.
