these effects contributed in a reduction
of the costs.

This document summarizes the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as vacuum-assisted closure (VAC). It discusses how VAC works by applying subatmospheric pressure to open wounds to promote healing. Key points include that VAC helps remove dead tissue, improves blood flow to the wound, and pulls wound edges together. The document reviews appropriate applications of VAC, such as soft tissue trauma and skin grafts, and contraindications like non-debrided wounds. Installation and maintenance of the VAC system is also outlined.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)

Wei Hoong Yee

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a recent technique that applies subatmospheric pressure to facilitate wound treatment. It involves placing an open cell interface directly on the wound and sealing it with an occlusive dressing. A vacuum pump then applies negative pressure to the entire wound surface. NPWT works by providing a closed moist environment, decreasing wound volume, removing excess fluids, promoting granulation, and helping remove interstitial fluid. It is indicated for large, clean, or exudative wounds as well as fixing skin grafts and tissue flaps. Contraindications include clotting disorders, necrotic wound beds, untreated infections, and neoplastic tissue in wounds. NPWT prepares wound beds

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) was used in combination with split-thickness skin grafts to treat burns in 27 patients. NPWT improved skin graft adherence and decreased healing time. Complete skin graft adherence was achieved in 7 patients treated with NPWT alone, 5 patients with partial adherence, and 1 failure. When NPWT was used with dermal substitutes Matriderm or Integra, results were complete adherence in 3-7 patients, partial in 2-5 patients, and failures in 1-2 patients. NPWT was well-tolerated and achieved an average 91.3% final skin graft adherence. Its early application in severe burns improved edema reduction and infection control but film adherence was

Vacuum assisted dressing, also known as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), uses sub-atmospheric pressure to promote wound healing. It was developed in 1993 and provides an alternative to standard wound care that requires fewer dressing changes. NPWT works by applying negative pressure to draw the wound closed and promote granulation tissue growth, blood flow, and healing while reducing bacteria, edema, and the need for wound irrigation. It has benefits like more effective therapy, reduced dressing changes and bacterial counts, improved wound healing, and reduced pain compared to standard care.

The document discusses care bundles, which are groups of evidence-based interventions that are more effective at improving patient outcomes when implemented together rather than individually. It provides examples of common care bundles, such as ventilator bundles and central line bundles. The ventilator bundle includes elements like keeping the head of the bed elevated, daily sedation vacations, stress ulcer prophylaxis, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, and oral decontamination with chlorhexidine. The central line bundle outlines best practices for insertion, maintenance, and care of central lines to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections.

Gemma Budd presented on intranasal drug delivery for central nervous system diseases. The presentation discussed nasal anatomy and pathways for nose-to-brain delivery. It also covered formulation strategies like permeation enhancers and device selection to optimize targeted delivery and bioavailability. In silico modeling was shown to correlate regional nasal deposition to systemic exposure and therapeutic effect. Preclinical studies demonstrated nose-to-brain delivery of sumatriptan and increased bioavailability of glucagon using nasal formulations with permeation enhancers compared to subcutaneous injection or powder alone.

1. The document discusses negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), including its history, mechanisms of action, clinical applications, and future perspectives. 2. NPWT uses subatmospheric pressure to promote wound healing through mechanisms like hemostasis, modulation of inflammation, angiogenesis, and granulation tissue formation. 3. Studies show NPWT can effectively treat wounds in complex areas like the head and neck region, and may help close submandibular fistulas. However, wounds with pockets or deep shapes are more prone to infection with NPWT.

This document provides information on diabetic foot. It begins by defining diabetic foot as infection, ulceration or destruction of deep tissues of the lower limb associated with neurological abnormalities and peripheral vascular disease in diabetic patients. Some key points made include: - The prevalence of foot ulcers in diabetic patients ranges from 4% to 27% and they account for a large burden on healthcare systems. - Risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers include neuropathy, foot deformities, and poor blood sugar control. - Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach including wound care, offloading, infection management, and improving blood sugar and blood flow.

Vacuum compression therapy (vct)

Sheik Khadir

Vacuum compression therapy (VCT) uses cycles of negative and positive pressure to enhance wound healing. The document summarizes two studies on VCT: 1) A randomized controlled trial found that adding VCT to conventional therapy for diabetic foot ulcers significantly reduced ulcer surface area compared to conventional therapy alone. VCT improved blood flow and oxygenation to accelerate wound healing. 2) A case report described using VCT to treat a non-healing ischemic ulcer. After adding VCT, the ulcer decreased in size by 25% within 2 weeks and healed completely within 8 weeks, suggesting VCT facilitated healing in this case by improving capillary filling.

The document describes a case study on using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to treat a severe peristomal skin complication in a 72-year-old urostomy patient. Standard advanced dressings did not improve the patient's condition. NPWT was then applied, protecting the peristomal skin and changing the dressing every 72 hours. This led to wound edges drawing together and removal of infectious materials to actively promote healing. The case study concludes NPWT is an effective, secure, comfortable and cost-effective alternative for complex peristomal skin disorders.

This study compared the blood absorption properties of 5 surgical dressings (A-E). An in vitro experiment added bovine blood to dressings at a constant rate, measuring absorption capacity and dispersion. Dressing A (Mepilex Border Post-Op) absorbed the largest volume of blood before reaching the dressing edges or leaking, with good dispersion throughout. The results indicate Dressing A will require fewer dressing changes and better protect wounds from contamination compared to the other dressings tested.

Ivan Poromanski and Yordan Milev evaluated the use of silver-coated dressings in managing cavitary wounds after bone resection for infected neuropathic diabetic foot. In three cases of patients with osteomyelitis of the foot, residual bone defects were filled with either silver-coated alginate/foam dressings or silver alginate filler. The dressings were changed every 48-72 hours with offloading. Systemic antibiotics were used for no more than 10 days until soft tissue infection subsided. The cavitary wounds healed within 42 days and plantar ulcers healed within 14-21 days, which was shorter than usual treatment times. The higher price of silver dressings was offset by fewer dressing changes

EWMA

This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of wound pain in diabetes-related foot ulcers. It found that over 50% of patients reported experiencing wound pain based on formal pain assessment tools, even though some did not report pain to their podiatrist. Pain was described as tender, brief, or intermittent. Both neuropathic and neuroischaemic ulcers had low reported pain intensity and little effect on quality of life. The study concludes wound pain may be underassessed clinically and more research is needed to understand differences in pain between ulcer types.

EWMA 2014 - EP485 EVALUATION OF MR ANGIOGRAPHY RESULTS IN DIABETIC FOOT PATIENTS

EWMA

This document evaluates the results of MR angiography (MRA) in diabetic foot patients to detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). A cross-sectional study of 100 diabetic patients with clinical symptoms of PAD found that while 32% had abnormal ankle brachial index measurements, 63.4% showed abnormalities on MRA. The conclusion is that while ankle brachial index is trustworthy for detecting severe ischemia, MRA should be used for other degrees of ischemia as it can detect more cases of abnormality than ankle brachial index alone. More patients need to be studied to determine what types of abnormalities found on MRA are associated with outcomes like healing or amputation.

EWMA

This study examined the effect of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) wound fluid pH on the presence of bacteria. Wound fluid was collected from 55 patients with DFUs and tested for pH and bacteria. A variety of bacteria were found, most commonly Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. Higher pH wound fluid (>7.5) was associated with some bacterial species while others were found more often at neutral pH (<7.5). DFUs with clinical signs of infection had significantly higher pH than non-infected wounds. The results suggest that wound fluid pH, especially values over 7.2, could help identify silent infections and inform treatment decisions.

EWMA

This document compares angiographic findings between patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with and without Charcot foot (CF). It found that patients with CF and DFUs had less severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD) based on angiographic findings compared to DFU patients without CF, however revascularization rates were equal between the two groups. The study assessed 29 CF patients and 48 non-CF patients with DFUs who underwent lower limb angiography. It found patients without CF had significantly more frequent presence of severe PAD (Graziani class 4 and higher) versus the CF group.

EWMA

This study assessed foot self-care knowledge and practices in 350 Saudi patients with diabetes referred to a specialized diabetes care center. While 42.6% had excellent knowledge of how diabetes affects foot health, only 17.7% demonstrated good ability to identify and apply appropriate foot self-care practices. Most patients acquired knowledge through media rather than primary health care clinics. The quality of knowledge from primary care clinics did not translate to better ability to practice self-care compared to other sources of knowledge. The study concludes current foot self-care education and knowledge is unsatisfactory and calls for a national diabetes control program delivering unified, evidence-based education through healthcare providers and media to prevent limb loss.

EWMA

This study examined the relationship between initial transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measurements and healing of diabetic foot ulcers over 6 and 12 months. TcPO2 is a non-invasive method to detect peripheral arterial disease. The study found that 76% of patients had a TcPO2 of ≤30mmHg and 81% had a TcPO2 of ≤40mmHg, indicating peripheral arterial disease. Healing rates were higher in patients with a TcPO2 >30mmHg or >40mmHg. Using a TcPO2 threshold of 40mmHg rather than 30mmHg showed higher sensitivity and negative predictive value for predicting healing. The study concludes that a TcPO2 threshold
