ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Complications associated with wound management not only increase the morbidity and mortality of surgical interventions but they also increase the cost and decrease the quality of care. Closed incision negative pressure therapy (CINPT) has been proposed as a superior method of wound care compared to the more traditional wound management methods. Since the Food and Drug Administration indications for using CINPT are broad and generally nonspecific, it is unclear whether patients are appropriately screened for and receive this treatment modality. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
To identify common clinical indications for CINPT, we conducted a literature review to define a consensus for CINPT candidates and used the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database to indicate if certain patient demographics impact decision-making.RESULTS:
Based on the literature review, encompassing 57 articles, and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, over 11,000 patients received CINPT. Both the NSQIP data and the literature review commonly reported BMI >30 (47.1% and 39.6%), smoking (22.7% and 29.2%), and diabetes mellitus (22.7% and 47.9) as the most common clinical indications for using CINPT.DISCUSSION:
The most common indications for using CINPT according to the literature review and the NSQIP database are BMI > 30, smoking status, and diabetes mellitus. Besides identifying patients who potentially benefit the most from CINPT, the results of this study suggest clinical adherence to the practice guidelines reported in the literature regarding wound management using this treatment modality.Palavras-chave
