Methods: A patient with cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus complicated with abscess of right inner thigh pressure injury was selected as the study object, who was admitted to Xuzhou Medical University Hospital on June 29, 2019. The analysis of the clinical diagnosis, treatment and nursing process were applied to explore the prognosis of the patient with cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus complicated with deep abscess of the thigh. Results: The traditional treatment including incision and drainage was not allowed, as the general treatment was not effective for the patients with cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus complicated with deep abscess in the inner thigh. After 8 days of negative pressure manual dressing change combined with mupirocin ointment treatment, the local skin condition returned to normal. Conclusion: After literature search, it was found that the above-mentioned cirrhosis combined with diabetes and deep abscess cases in the inner thigh were rare clinically. When the traditional treatment of incision and drainage is limited, negative pressure manual dressing change combined with antibiotics is an effective method, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.展开更多

Factors associated with successful treatment in patients with DNA will be identified. Methods: We retrospectively studied 29 patients who presented to the department of otolaryngology with deep neck abscesses between April 2011 and April 2015. These 29 patients were managed with CPD after antibiotic therapy or needle aspiration failed. Data on patient demographics, location of infection, existing comorbidity, duration of hospitalization, treatment received, and complications were reviewed. Results: The average age of 29 patients, including 18 men and 11 women, was 56 years old. Abscess was found in parapharyngeal space (n = 16), submandibular space (n = 7), retropharyngeal space (n = 5) and pretracheal space (n = 1). The maximum transverse diameter of abscess ranged from 4.8 cm to 8.0 cm (mean 6.03 cm). Positive cultures were found in 24 cases and the most common pathogen found was Streptococcus viridans. Average hospital stay was 6.7 days. Deep neck abscesses were completely removed without residual in all patients. No one had complications and no one died during and after CPD. Conclusion: CPD is a safe and highly effective procedure for treating patients with deep neck abscesses who do not respond to antibiotics therapy. This technique can also provide reliable evidence on pathogens responsible for deep neck abscesses and help otolaryngologists choose effective treatment to achieve better clinical success rate. We recommend that most deep neck abscesses should be managed initially by CPD before resorting to open surgery.展开更多
