VACUUM THERAPY IN SURGERY

Petra Gombalová, Hana Horelová

Ošetřovatelské perspektivy 2020, 3(2):71-81 | DOI: 10.25142/osp.2020.009  

The principle of treatment with vacuum therapy is the creation of negative pressure in the wound, which continuously removes interstitial fluid from the wound, reducing bacterial colonization and accelerating the formation of granulation tissue. This significantly shortens the preparation time of the substrate for the final covering of the wound and the total treatment time of the patient. Vacuum therapy is also used as a secondary treatment for wound healing in many surgical fields, including abdominal, vascular surgery and cardiac surgery.
