Chronic Wound Management

This is a paper reviewing the National Health Service (NHS) agenda in relation to the use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in chronic wound management and assesses the evidence behind it, its cost effectiveness and the outcome it has on patients’ satisfaction and life style. Multiple studies over the last 10 years looking at clinical efficacy of NPWT with its cost effectiveness and the implementation of this service in the UK were reviewed. NPWT has showed a reasonable body of evidence to support its usage in chronic wounds with potential positive outcomes on finance and patients’ satisfaction. However, the NHS system shows significant variations in the availability and implementation of this useful tool, depending on care providers and resources availabilities. The paper concluded that the NPWT can be a useful source of cutting down costs of chronic wound managements and saving money by its effect on expediting wound healing, which can address a part of the financial crises facing the NHS, however, has to be considered according to specific case needs. There should also be a national standard for the availability and indication of this tool to assure equal opportunities for different patients in different areas in the country.

Abstract Background: Compare the complications of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who used a portable negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device in the immediate postoperative period with those of a control group. Methods: A total of 296 patients were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups: those who used NPWT for seven days in the postoperative period (Group 1) and those who used conventional dressings (Group 2). Demographic data, comorbidities, local parameters related to the surgical wound and complications were evaluated.Results: The groups did not differ in regard to sex, age and clinical comorbidities. Overall, 153 (51.7%) patients had at least one risk factor for wound complications. Patients who used NPWT had a lower rate of complications (28.5% vs. 45.7%, p = 0.001) and a lower rate of reintervention in the operating room (2% vs. 8.5%, p = 0.001). Patients in group 1 had a lower incidence of hyperaemia (14.7% vs. 40.2%, p = 0.01), skin necrosis (2.1% vs. 8.5%, p = 0.04) and wound dehiscence (3.1% vs 10.1%, p = 0.03). The use of NPWT was a protective factor for the presence of complications, with an odds ratio of 0.36 (95% CI 0.206-0.629).Conclusion: The number of complications related to the wound after TKA is high; however, most of them are minor and have no impact on the treatment and clinical evolution of patients. The use of NPWT decreased the number of surgical wound complications, especially hyperaemia, dehiscence and necrosis, and reduced the need for reintervention.

Wound management is a major concern in open fracture cases. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is an  advanced method for managing open wounds. It is a topical treatment using sub-atmospheric pressure to increase  blood flow, remove bacteria and increase growth of granulation tissue in the wound. The study was performed to  evaluate the results of NPWT in patients with open fracture in lower extremity. Using Aquarium pump as an NPWT  device, 16 patients were prospectly treated for open fractures in their inferior extremity. Mean patients' age range was  21 to 60 yrs. The patients under study either had suffered from trauma, fall or had post operative wound infection.  Many of them had wounds with underlying tendon or bone exposure. Necrotic tissues were debrided before applying  NPWT. Dressings were changed every 3rd or 4th day and treatments were continued for 07 to 28 days. Exposed  tendons and bones were successfully covered with healthy granulation tissue in all cases, depth of the wounds  reduced as well as surface areas. In 12 cases coverage of granulation tissue were achieved and further managed by  skin grafting, 4 cases with wound infections were closed with secondary suture. No significant complications were  noted regarding the treatment. NPWT was found to facilitate the rapid formation of healthy granulation tissue on  open wounds in lower extremity and thus to shorten healing time and minimize secondary soft tissue defect coverage  procedures.
