Application of helium-neon lasers and magnetotherapy for prevention and treatment of purulent wound infections

Postoperative wound infection remains one of the most pressing problems of surgery. The lack of reliable ways of dealing with purulent pathology dictates the need to find the best ways to treat patients, which have prompted us to conduct this study. Purpose of the research is to improve the results of treatment of patients with purulent wound infection by improving the clinical application of a magnetic field and a helium-neon laser. Clinical material is presented in 174 patients aged 18 to 75 years. To solve this problem, all patients were arbitrarily divided. The first group consisted of patients with conventional treatment (control group). For the second group treatment was amplified with laser therapy, in the third group it was performed the magnetic therapy, in the fourth - a combined magnetic and laser therapy. The source of the magnetic field are the apparatus of "Pole-101", "Pole 102" and magnetic belts of various designs (flexible magnets). For irradiation of wounds with laser beams were used stationary optical quantum generators of models LH-38 and LH-126, emitting a monochromatic coherent light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm wavelength of 1150 nm. The use of a helium-neon laser and the magnetic field have decreased a number of inflammatory postoperative complications microbial contamination of wound surface and length of inpatient treatment. Combined magnetic laser therapy helped to develop a regime characterized by a lack of immediate and long-term negative effects and complications. Developed and systematized indications and contraindications prove the feasibility and prospects of implementation of laser radiation and magnetic field in the complex medical and preventive measures in surgical patients.
