Guidelines And Recommendations

Pilonidal disease is a particularly difficult disorder to treat. Guidelines and recommendations for the treatment of pilonidal disease neglects the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), but studies strongly support the role of NPWT in prevention of surgical site infection in high-risk groups. During a webinar on the pilonidal disease, we asked 51 participants to complete a questionnaire about the treatment of pilonidal disease. They answered questions about the way they treat their patients with pilonidal disease, and about using NPWT. The study showed that relatively large number of surgeons use NPWT to treat patients with pilonidal disease, the majority of them are satisfied at maintaining the tightness and effectiveness of a vacuum dressing and would use the single-use NPWT systems, if they was more available. It seems that the NPWT in the pilonidal disease is increasingly used and this method is gaining more and more popularity.

Basic Set

Modern medicine offers a wide spectrum of wound healing resources for acute or chronic wounds. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a very effective method, allowing complicated defects and wounds to heal. The basic set is usually provided with various special accessories to facilitate the use and support safe application of NPWT to high-risk tissue. Selected case reports are presented herein to document the special use and combinations of materials in negative pressure wound therapy.

Poor Efficacy

Hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section remains a common scenario in our clinical practice. Certain risk factors play a role in altering the incidence of hypotension. Aortocaval compression counteraction does not help to prevent hypotension. Intravenous crystalloid prehydration has poor efficacy; thus, the focus has changed toward co-hydration and use of colloids. Phenylephrine is established as a first- line vasopressor, although there are limited data from high-risk patients. Ephedrine crosses the placenta more than phenylephrine and cause possible alterations in the foetal physiology.http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v8i4.6242 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2010;8(4):415-19
