Resumen de Very Low Pressure and Saline for Open Fracture Wound Irrigation

Karen Rosenberg

• According to this study:

  * Reoperation rates are similar regardless of the pressure used to irrigate open wound fractures.

  * Very low pressure is an acceptable option in open fracture wound irrigation.

  * Normal saline alone is superior to a solution of castile soap with normal saline for routine irrigation of acute open fractures.
