Hydrogen Peroxide Wound Cleaning
On the pros and cons of cleaning wounds with hydrogen peroxide
The healing of wounds in the world is quite critical to the debridement. Nowadays, there are methods of using hydrogen peroxide for wound cleaning, and people have different opinions on this.
Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. When used to clean wounds, it can be rapidly decomposed and released into new oxygen in contact with the tissue at the wound. This oxygen is highly active and can break down the structure of harmful microorganisms, such as the cell wall and cell membrane of bacteria, killing bacteria, and achieving the effect of debridement. And the bubbles generated during decomposition can gently peel off the dirt and foreign matter on the surface of the wound, helping to cleanse the wound surface.
However, it also has drawbacks. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, although it can sterilize, but also damage the normal tissue cells of the human body. The new granulation tissue and epithelial cells at the wound are delicate and fragile, and are vulnerable to damage, resulting in delayed healing. Furthermore, when used, patients often feel severe pain, because it stimulates nerve endings. Repeated use of hydrogen peroxide to wash the wound, or cause local tissue ischemia, which destroys vascular endothelial cells and affects blood circulation.
In summary, there are advantages and disadvantages to cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide. Doctors should make a prudent choice according to the condition of the wound, such as the size, depth, degree of pollution, and individual differences of the patient. Small and lightly contaminated wounds can be used for short periods of time, while large, deep, and heavily contaminated wounds should be combined with other methods, such as saline rinsing and antibiotic application, to achieve the best healing effect and promote the patient's early recovery.
