[THE COMBINATION OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND FIBRIN GLUE IN THE TREATMENT OF DECUBITAL ULCERS IN PATIENTS AFTER BRAIN DAMAGE: A PILOT STUDY].

Aim - to improve the results of treatment of decubital ulcers (DU) in combination therapy of high-frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) and fibrin glue (FG). The authors carried out a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the combined method of treatment of decubital ulcers using high-frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) and fibrin glue (FG). All patients included in the pilot project, 22 people with a stage III pressure ulcer and who are in chronic critical condition after various brain damage. During the dressings, high-frequency stimulation was carried out with an EHVCh-250 "KiK Medimaster" electrosurgical apparatus, which generates alternating currents of the radio frequency (RF) range (0.3-3.0 MHz) for 28 days, and then (the main group), cryoprecipitate (fibrin glue) within 21 days. For comparison, the results obtained were compared with those in 25 people with DU treated according to the generally accepted method with the use of standard drugs (levomekol, levosin). HFS has a beneficial effect on all stages of a complicated wound process, promotes wound cleansing, activation of early granulation growth and marginal epithelialization. And the subsequent use of fibrin glue causes an even greater prevalence of proliferative processes over inflammatory processes in the tissues, which also contributes to a decrease in exudation, further growth of granulation tissue and an increase in epithelization processes. The use of this combination in the treatment of decubital ulcers can be used in complex conservative therapy in the treatment of pressure ulcers.
