Objective To investigate the clinical effectiveness of high-glucose insulin mixture on the local treatment of patients with grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ pressure ulcers. Methods A total of 124 patients with grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ pressure ulcers treated between January 2011 and June 2012 were randomly divided into three groups: saline group (group A, n=41), high-glucose insulin mixture group (group B, n=41) and modern dressing group (group C, n=42). We observed and compared the treatment effects among the three groups using both measurements of traditional evaluation criteria and pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH) after a week of dressing. Results The overall treatment effects among the three groups were significantly different (χ2=30.453, P<0.001). The results of pairwise comparisons was that the treatment effect was significantly different between group B or C and group A (P<0.01), but the treatment effect was not statistically different between group B and C (P>0.05). Subgroup analysis for patients with grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ pressure ulcers also came to the similar results. Conclusion Both high-glucose insulin mixture and modern dressing have significant effects on patients with grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ pressure ulcers. However, the high-glucose insulin mixture costs less and is worthy of extensive promotion.
