Description
Today surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy are the foundations of anti-infectious strategies which treat acute and chronic infections in soft tissue and orthopedic wounds. But it must be considered that antiseptics, mostly antiseptic solutions, can be used as an additional or alternative anti-infectious therapy to prevent infections or to treat infected wounds. Thus, this book sets out to define the state of the art in antiseptic wound therapy and covers both the theoretical and practical aspects in depth. It is designed to be read and used by a wide audience with varying levels of expertise. It provides an extensive introduction for those unfamiliar with antiseptic therapy and offers a wealth of information and practical guidance to those with wide experience and expertise. The chapters in this book address the entire spectrum of indications and techniques for the use of antiseptic therapy including: · Characteristics and indications of different antiseptics such as polyhexanide, octenidine, polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine, acetic acid and Dakin’s solution · Prevention of infection in infected trauma, orthopedics and plastic surgery wounds · Anti-biofilm strategies using antiseptics Particular attention is drawn to special dressing techniques and the vacuum instillation therapy. The contributions reflect the latest knowledge of antiseptics for this negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) based on a thorough review of international literature and two international expert panels in Ulm, Germany, 2011 and in Washington D.C., USA, 2012.
