MATERIAL AND METHODS: The basis of the analysis was the material of 2047 case histories-clinical test data on armed conflicts of Military Field Surgery Department of the Military Medical Academy named after S. M. Kirov. Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the prototype set of UK-02 to eliminate asphyxia in the course of experimental studies was carried out on 6 biological objects (pigs). RESULTS: The incidence of asphyxia is 1.5% according to national data and 8-13% according to the results of studies by foreign authors. CONCLUSION: Complete and service equipment-a one-time set of UK-02 (to eliminate asphyxia (conicotomy) will reduce prehospital mortality and significantly improve the outcomes of treatment of the wounded with severe damage to organs and tissues of the maxillofacial region, ENT organs and pathological processes accompanied by impaired secure airway.

MODERN ANTICEPTIC HYDROGEL IN TREATMENT OF INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS OF WOUNDS IN SURGERY.

Treatment and prevention of infectious complications remain the actual problems of surgery. Purulent complications very often arise in operative interventions with an application of various fixing devices. A study of the adhesive surgical antiseptic (ASA) «ARGAKOL¼ (Registration certificate № FS 012б2005/1878-05) was completed. The results of the preliminary antimicrobial activity of the developed composition showed that ASA «ARGAKOL¼ had a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. There was used the method of twofold serial dilutions in a liquid medium and Cup-suspension. The study of the influence of the ASA «ARGAKOL¼ on the wound healing was made in the experiment on white outbred rats. There were carried out two series of experiments with 10 rats in each group: on the model of just contaminated wound (the first series) and on the model of infected wound with delayed application of the glue (after 3 days) after trauma (the second series).
