Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of cold atmospheric plasma in the treatment of post C-section wound infection. Methods: This study is a randomized control trial. Results: While the average amount of time for granulation formation in plasma treatment group was just 4,5 ± 1,3 days, the fingure for non-plasma treatment group was 5,7 ± 1,1 days. The average time for C-section resuture was shorter in plasma treatment group compared to the non-plasma treatment. In addition, the length of hospital stay in the plasma treatment group is also shorter. Conclusion: Cold atmospheric plasma could improve the wound healing and reduce the length of hospital stay in the treatment of post C-section wound infection.
