Perbandingan kepekaan pola kuman ulkus diabetik terhadap pemakaian PHMB gel dan NaCl gel secara klinis

Abstract : The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increased globally every year, especially in developed countries. In Indonesia, the prevalence of diabetic ulcers is amounted to 15%. Mortality and amputation are as high as 32.5% and 23.5% and are the most common cause of diabetic patient care in the hospital. This study was aimed to compare the sensitivity of diabetic ulcers’ bacteria to PHMB gel with 0.9% saline gel. This was a descriptive analytical study. Subjects were 57 patients of diabetic ulcer associated with infection. Pus samples obtained from the diabetic ulcers were cultured and were further evaluated for the sensitivity test to PHMB gel and saline gel. Data were analyzed by using the ƻ test. The results showed that the proportion of bacteria’ sensitivity to PHMB was significantly different (P 0,05). Simpulan: Pemberian PHMB gel dapat meningkatkan proses penyembuhan luka pada penyandang DM dengan ulkus yang disertai infeksi. Kata kunci : PHMB gel, Na Cl gel, ulkus diabetik dengan infeksi
