[Registration of superficial acoustic waves velocity (SAWV) in prognosis and diagnosis of wound healing].
A new method of objective diagnostic express-monitoring of a wound healing course has been developed for prognosis and evaluation of effectiveness of the treatment for various purulent wounds. The method is based on measurement of SAWV in the skin integument surrounding festered wound. Portable device-acoustic skin analyser (ASA) was used for the measurement of SAWW. The following results were obtained in 273 patients: in phase I of healing process in the first period SAWV was 35.0-49.9 m/s; in the second period of phase I of wound healing it was 50.0-90.0 m/s; in phase II--35.0-49.0 m/s; in phase III--25.0-34.9 m/s. SAWV in healthy skin is 18-24.9 m/sec. These measurements of SAWV completely correlated with cytological and hystological examination data.
