Negative pressure wound therapy - review.Citation
Læknablaðið 2014,100 (4):219-24Abstract
Sárasogsmeðferð til að örva sárgræðslu var fyrst lýst í núverandi mynd árið 1997. Meðferðin byggir á því að undirþrýstingur er myndaður staðbundið í sárbeðnum með umbúðum og sárasugu sem tengd er við umbúðirnar. Með þessu er sárið hreinsað og flýtt fyrir sárgræðslu. Sárasogsmeðferð hefur verið notuð hér á landi í rúman áratug en um er að ræða nýja nálgun í meðferð sára sem hefur nýst í meðferð ýmissa sjúklingahópa, meðal annars sjúklinga með útlimasár en einnig djúpar sýkingar í kviðar- og brjóstholi. Í þessari yfirlitsgrein er farið yfir ábendingar og árangur sárasogsmeðferðar. Greinin er skrifuð með breiðan hóp lækna og hjúkrunarfræðinga í huga og byggð á nýjustu heimildum þar sem meðal annars er vísað til nýlegra íslenskra rannsókna. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a new therapeutic option in wound healing and was first described in its present form in 1997. A vacuum source is used to create sub-atmospheric pressure in the local wound environment to promote healing. This is achieved by connecting a vacuum pump to a tube that is threaded into a wound gauze or foam filler dressing covered with a drape. This concept in wound treatment has been shown to be useful in treating different wound infections, including diabetic wounds as well as complex infections of the abdomen and thorax. NPWT has been used in Iceland for over a decade and its use is steadily increasing. This review describes the indications and outcome of NPWT and is aimed at a broad group of doctors and nurses where recent Icelandic studies on the subject are covered.
