Objective To explore the application of 10% sodium chloride for stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer debridement. Methods According to the standard, 68 stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer cases were selected from January 2011 to December 2014. All the patients had yellow surface and positive bacterium cultivation suggesting wound infection. They were randomly divided into control group and trial group. The control group used traditional treatment for debridement, while the trial group used 10% sodium chloride, until the end of debridement where the granulation became fresh and bacterium cultivation negative. Then we compared these two groups in terms of debridement time, wound drainage, wound smell, granulation growth, pain score and cost. Results The control group debridement time was 18-32 days, averaging (22.4±10.8) days, and the trial group debridement time was 5-13 days, averaging (11.6±4.0) days (P<0.05). The control group wound drainage ratings score was 6.70±2.87, while the trial group wound drainage ratings score was 3.65±1.23 (P<0.05). In terms of the wound smell, the control group had a score of 2.74±1.62, and the score for the experimental group was 1.26±0.51 (P<0.05). The average cost of the control group was (975.00±10.29) yuan, while the experimental group was (626.00±8.18) yuan (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of 10% sodium chloride for stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer debridement can shorten debridement time, promote the growth of granulation and reduce the economic burden, which is worth clinical promotion.
