Abstract: Objective To analyze systematically the efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) versus conventional dressing in the treatment of traumatic soft tissue wounds at extremities. Methods We searched Pubmed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI and Wanfang Databases for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and clinical controlled trials (CCT) in either English or Chinese up to April 2012 which had compared VSD and conventional dressing in the treatment of traumatic soft tissue wounds at extremities.The eligible researches were included in the present Meta analysis and evaluated in terms of healing time,dressing changes and hospital stay using software RevMan5.1. Results Eight researches with 529 patients were included and analyzed,including 5 RCTs and 3 CCTs.Compared with conventional dressing,VSD facilitated the process of wound healing [MD=-6.80,95% CI ( -9.17, -4.43),P <0.05],reduced the frequency of dressing change [MD =- 12.08,95% CI ( - 15.91, - 8.25),P <0.05]and shorten the time for hospital stay [MD =- 8.57,95% CI ( - 12.08,-5.06),P < 0.05],resulting in significant differences between the 2 methods. Conclusion In the treatment of traumatic soft tissue wounds at extremities,VSD is significantly superior to conventional dressing in terms of healing time,dressing changes and hospital stay.
