  • Title: [The use of fibrous wound dressing sheets made of carboxymethylcellulose natrium in the postoperative management of tracheostomy].
    Author: Tsunezuka Y, Suzuki M, Nitta K, Oda M.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2005 Nov; 58(12):1063-7. PubMed ID: 16281857.
    Abstract:
    Postoperative management of tracheostomy is very important to reduce several complications such as abnormal granulation and subcutaneous abscess. One of the causes is the use of gauzes and a disinfectant because they induce the secondary wound injury and prevention of wound healing. We used a fibrous wound dressing, carboxymethylcellulose natrium sheet (Aquacel) on the postoperative management of tracheostomy for 5 patients. The sheets were very useful to absorb exudates including blood and to make suitable moist and clean surroundings in all patients.
