Objective:
Compression dressing has been assumed effective, but never formally examined in the field.
Methods:
A prospective interventional trial examined efficacy and feasibility of an elastic adhesive dressing compression device in the arena of the traumatic incident. The primary variable examined was the bleeding rate from wounds compared before and after dressing.
Results:
Sixty-two consecutive bleeding wounds resulting from penetrating trauma were treated. Bleeding intensity was profuse in 58%, moderate 23%, and mild in 19%. Full control of bleeding was achieved in 87%, a significantly diminished rate in 11%, and, in 1 case, the technique had no influence on the bleeding rate. The Wilcoxon test for variables comparing bleeding rates before and after the procedure obtained significant difference (Z = -6.9, p < 0.01). No significant complications were observed. Caregivers were highly satisfied in 90% of cases.
Conclusion:
Elastic adhesive dressing was observed as an effective and reliable technique, demonstrating a high rate of success without complications.
