[Prevention of early postoperative hematoma with the use of elastic bandages. Its ultrasonic diagnosis and control].
The authors stress out the importance of an application of elastic bandage for a prevention of the early postoperative hemathomas in traumatized patients, whose effect can be controlled by ultrasound. 58 patients were elaborated, of whom in 30 cases an elastic bandage was placed at the end of surgery, and 28 patients (control group) without dressing. In 8 patients of the control group, an existence of postoperative hemathomas was proved by ultrasound, while only in two cases with postoperative bandage a presence of such hemathoma could be discovered. Lesser number of postoperative hemathomas in patients with elastic bandage is statistically important (p less than 0.001). Obtained results indisputably point out the value of elastic bandage application in the course of first three postoperative days in traumatized patients.
