Temperature changes of the wound center surface during healing purulent skin – muscle wounds of horses

Temperature of a body surface of animals of different parts (head, neck, torso, limbs), has some differences.

The highest figure was in the head, with a little fluctuations, in the area of the nose and bovine muscles. Somewhat lower surface temperature was in the neck. The body temperature of the body surface was lower than the rate in the area of head and neck. In the area of limb superficial body temperature had lower rates of distal department, increasing in the proximal part.

For monitoring the progress of wound healing we held temperature measuring of wound surface during treatment. Established that the body temperature of the wound surface is not constant, but varies depending on the phase of wound healing.

So, after measuring the surface temperature of wounds in horses of both groups -a day 2 of treatment registered false rejection of these indicators together, but were significantly higher than that clinically healthy animals.

Subsequently, the temperatures of the wound depending on the chosen means of therapy differed in the experimental and control groups.

On the fifth day of treatment the animals of experimental group decreased body temperature of the wound surface, which exceeded the rate of intact animals.

Complete cleaning of dead wound surfaces and tissue accompanied by attenuation of inflammation and consequently further reducing the temperature zones and damage.

So, on the ninth day of treatment the wound surface temperature decreased compared to the 5 – th day. 14th day of treatment was accompanied by a further decrease in temperature improbable wound bed over the previous day, being significantly lower rates of the second and fifth days.

Wound healing in horses experimental group, the 20-th day of treatment, the stabilization of the temperature of the damaged area, and it is improbable figure reduced compared to the 14-th, being lower than in intact animals.

In control group healing process took place slowly, and therefore the inflammatory process lasted longer and the temperature of the wound surface maintained high compared to intact animals longer time.

Thus, in the fifth day of treatment, the temperature of the wound bed, the difference of index research group has been in decline compared with the previous day.

On the ninth day of treatment, the surface temperature of wounds of animals in the control group exceeded the rate of the experimental group and experienced a slight decrease from -th day.

Thus, compared with the experimental group of animals in the control group, treatment was less effective, as manifested in slower motion of the first phase of wound healing process and further granulation, epithelialization and scarring.

14th day of treatment was accompanied by a probable decrease in temperature of the wound surface, being slightly higher than the experimental group.

Epithelialization and wound scarring the surface in the control group animals have shaped stabilizing the high temperature of the wound bed.

So, on the 20th day of treatment its figure was slightly reduced compared to intact animals and significantly below the level of 14 – th day.

Thus, the use in the first phase of wound healing agent sorption therapy "Kserofloks" allowed to accelerate the process of cleaning the wounds and promote wound Stability its bed temperature experimental group of animals.
