“…2 Ultrasound of the wound area with a postoperative seroma in the control group with soft tissue defects if a NPWT device was applied early, i.e. on day one or two of treatment in comparison to patients who received this treatment later [20]. The early application of NPWT seems to have a positive impact on wound healing.…”

Background: Vacuum assisted Closure (VAC) of wound is a recent trend and proven method of fast and better healing of wounds. The basic concept is the removal of blood and serous collection from the wound site with negative pressure and promoting the healing process rapidly by altering the local microcellular environment.The objective of the study was to show the efficacy of healing process in open wounds treated by VAC method of dressing.Methods: In this prospective study, total of 50 patients with upper and lower limbs non-healing open wounds were recruited. Before the application of VAC, surgical debridement was performed to remove all the devitalized necrotic tissues and the wound was packed with povodine iodine. Prior to and at the end of VAC dressing, wound dimensions were noted.Results: Patients mean age was 46.72±7.63 years and out of which 42 patients (84%) were males and 8 patients (16%) were females. All patients had suffered an acute trauma. VAC therapy was applied through continuous or intermittent suction on wounds and dressing were changed every second or third day. After application of VAC therapy all wounds showed improvement, which were indicated by presence of healthy granulation tissue, absence of necrotic tissue and subsequent wound closure. Conclusions: VAC dressing in an open wound is an efficient and safe adjunct to treat severe infections and may be a good alternative to treat the open wounds in selected patients. Short time intervals between VAC changes and short course of therapy result in good patient acceptance. This method is recommended for all the types of non-healing wounds management.

“…Treatment with SPT is one of the most important adjuvants in an attempt to minimize the length of hospitalization, and therefore the costs involved 18 . It is necessary to mention that the use of negative pressure therapy is not a definitive treatment, but a measure intermediate to final skin coverage through grafts and flaps.…”

OBJETIVO: avaliar a experiência com o emprego de terapia por pressão subatmosférica no tratamento das lesões traumáticas agudas das partes moles, em especial nos membros. MÉTODOS: cento e setenta e oito pacientes com feridas traumáticas foram tratados pelo Centro de Feridas Complexas no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2011 e, submetidos à terapia por pressão subatmosférica. RESULTADOS: dos 178 pacientes submetidos à terapia por pressão subatmosférica, 129 (72,5%) eram do sexo masculino e 49 (27,5%) apresentavam idade entre 18 e 40 anos. Os ferimentos descolantes nos membros foram o tipo de ferida traumática mais comum, sendo responsáveis pela internação de 83 (46,6%) pacientes. O tempo médio de internação hospitalar foi 17,5 dias. Foram realizados 509 procedimentos cirúrgicos (média de 2,9 por paciente). A terapia por pressão subatmosférica foi utilizada em 287 procedimentos, sendo 209 (72,8%) sobre feridas traumáticas e 78 (27,2%) sobre enxertos de pele. O número de trocas de terapia por pressão negativa por paciente foi 1,6 e o tempo médio de utilização foi 8,5 dias por paciente. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados foram considerados satisfatórios, diminuindo consideravelmente a morbidade e o tempo de cicatrização dessas lesões em comparação com tratamentos anteriormente executados como curativos. A terapia por pressão subatmosférica é um método útil no tratamento de feridas agudas traumáticas, atuando como ponte entre o tratamento de urgência e a cobertura cutânea definitiva destas lesões, em comparação com métodos mais tradicionais da cirurgia plástica.
