Hydrogen Peroxide Povidone Iodine
On the effect of hydrogen peroxide and povidone iodine
There are injuries and diseases in the world, and medicine is needed to treat wounds. In the choice of external wound disinfection, hydrogen peroxide (Hydrogen Peroxide) and povidone iodine (Povidone Iodine) are often used by doctors. Each has its own length and limitations. The analysis is as follows.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. In case of organic matter in the wound, it quickly interprets oxygen. This new oxygen can break the structure of bacteria and kill it. Therefore, in deep wounds, it is especially suitable for the prevention and treatment of anaerobic bacteria. If anaerobic bacteria are oxidized, it is difficult to survive in case of oxygen. And its decomposed products are water and oxygen, which have no residual harm and are quite clean. However, it is strong and irritates the wound very much. When used, patients often feel severe pain and use it frequently, or damage the new granulation tissue and hinder the healing of the wound.
Povidone iodine is much milder. It uses surfactant as a carrier, iodine is released slowly, and can kill all kinds of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. It is slightly irritating to the skin and mucosa, that is, it is used on sensitive areas, and there are few adverse reactions. Its bactericidal power is long-lasting, and it can protect the wound from bacterial invasion for a long time. However, for some special infections, such as Bacillus infection, its effect may not be as good as hydrogen peroxide.
In summary, when the patient is on the verge of illness, the doctor should choose according to the condition of the wound. For shallow and small wounds, povidone iodine can be the first choice, because it is mild and sterilized for a long time; if the wound is deep and there is a suspicion of anaerobic bacteria staining, hydrogen peroxide is the first choice, first remove the disease of anaerobic bacteria, wait for the situation to slow down, and then use povidone iodine to protect the wound and promote healing. In this way, the medicine can be used to help the patient's wound recover early.
