METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF WOUND INFECTION IN EARLY POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD IN ABDOMINAL SURGERY Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to general surgery, and can be used to predict the development of wound infection in the early postoperative period. Preoperative and postoperative laser Doppler flowmetry is performed for 1-3 days. Following local blood microcirculation values are determined: microcirculation index before operation (MI₁) and after operation (MI₂), preoperative (Mnutr₁) and postoperative (Mnutr₂) nutritional blood flow, normalized amplitude of fluctuations of cardiac factor of microcirculation control before operation (Ac₁) and after operation (Ac₂). Then values of these parameters are compared. If simultaneously MI₂ is less than MI₁ by 10% or more, Mnutr₂ is less than Mnutr₁ by 18% or more, and Ac₂ is less than Ac₁ by 10% or more, then a high risk of wound infection is predicted.

EFFECT: method allows improving accuracy and objectivity of prediction of wound infection in early postoperative period in abdominal surgery.
