Comparison of the Aquacel Ag Surgical Dressing vs Standard Dressing in the Treatment of the Wound Site Infection and Patient Comfort in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Öz:

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the Aquacel Ag surgical dressing on wound site infections andpatient comfort in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Materials and Methods: The study included a total of 274 patients diagnosed with primary gonarthrosis, who underwentTKA at our clinic during 2016 and 2017. The Aquacel Ag surgical dressing was applied in 139 patients (Group 1), and aconventional gauze sponge was used in 135 patients (Group 2). Patient outcomes including the frequency of changing thedressing, pain due to dressing change, patient satisfaction, wound site infections, and formation of blisters were comparedbetween the groups retrospectively.Results: The formation of blisters (p=0.770) and superficial infections (p=0.500) were similar in both groups. The durationof hospital stay (p<0.001) and the number of dressing changes (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the conventional gauzedressing group. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher, and pain scores during dressing change were significantly lower,in the Aquacel Ag group (p<0.001 for both). Also, the number of patients who could take a shower during the first 3 daysfollowing surgery was significantly higher in the Aquacel Ag group (p<0.001).Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the Aquacel Ag surgical dressing significantly improved patientoutcomes after the TKA surgery by decreasing postoperative complications and enhancing patient satisfaction.
