Abstract

Chronic wound patient  had complicated to care because  Chronic wound  had difficult to heal so Platelet rich plasma was one choice to use in Chronic wound due to it could enhance the wound healing rate.

Objective: To compare healing rate between using Platelet rich plasma and normal wound dressing

Material and method : The author examined all patients confirmed chronic wound  who treat at Loei Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020. The author compared the healing rate between using Platelet rich plasma and normal wound dressing.

Result: Of the 8 patients who confirmed chronic wound in foot, 7 were male and 1 was female, 4 patients were diabetes mellitus, 1 patient was anemia, 1 patient was malnutrition.  Patients presented at a mean age of 57 years and average wound duration of 38 months. The average wound  size reduced from 14.0± 12.2 cm² to 13.4± 11.7 cm² (0.2 cm² per week) (F= 4.84, p= 0.010) after normal wound dressing for 4 weeks (Baseline period) compare with the average wound  size reduced from 13.3± 12.2 cm² to 2.1± 3.6 cm²(1.4 cm² per week)  (F= 8.23, p< 0.001) after using Platelet rich plasma for 8 weeks(Treatment period). 5 of 8 patients had complete wound healing.

Conclusion: Platelet rich plasma had significant to improve wound healing more than normal wound dressing.
