[Experimental support for the application of plasma streams in the treatment of gunshot wounds of extremities].
Experimental data on the application of plasma streams (PS) for the treatment of gunshot wounds of extremities is presented. On the basis of the investigated material (20 animals in which treatment included PS compared to 10 animals where treatment was carried out without SP application) it was established, that bullet wounds of extremities are cleared of pathogenic microflora in shorter terms, the expressed anesthetizing effect was observed, basic function of finiteness was restored 4 - 5 days earlier. The common reduction of time parameters was in average 22 - 25%. By all parameters results of the treatment in the group with PS application were much better, especially by such criteria, as frequency of purulent complications in the early postoperative period and reliability of the hemostasis. The opportunity of application of PS is authentically proved at operations on extremities, including those with the damage of bone structures, nervous trunks, at amputations, at purulent complications, i.e. practically at all possible variants of the damage of extremities and their consequences.
