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.
One of the first things you can do is pre medicate the wound bed. You can do this by applying some kind of topical analgesic solution or even a local anesthetic cream on the wound about thirty minutes before you actually start the procedure. If the wound is too big, or you do not feel comfortable, putting something on the wound then there is another option.
About thirty minutes before you actually start the procedure you can give the patient a strong analgesic or pain killer, as it is also known. This can be given to the patient by means of a tablet, a suspension or even if needed, an injection. This would calm the patient down a little bit and then it will also prevent the patient from suffering from any pain during the procedure.
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.
The higher the pressure of the hydrotherapy the more debridement will take place. If the pressure of the hydrotherapy is very high it might even hurt the patient quite a bit as well. Therefore, the patient's pain threshold should also be taken into account and if it is too sore for the patient you can adjust, the pressure down a little bit to maintain pain control.
The doctor will then be able to give you the antibiotic that you can mix with the saline water and then apply it directly to the wound. By using this very direct approach and minimally invasive approach, you can treat the infection directly and this will also prevent the infection from spreading. They also say that by using this kind of approach you will decrease the bio burden on the top surface of that wound and you will also be able to remove the tissue that was infected what the infection.
