to describe the relationship between epidemiological and clinical characteristics of postoperative cardiac surgery patients undergoing negative pressure wound therapy for the treatment of surgical site infection.
an observational, cross-sectional analytical study including a convenience sample consisting of medical records of patients undergoing sternal cardiac surgery with surgical site infection diagnosed in medical records treated by negative pressure wound therapy.
medical records of 117 patients, mainly submitted to myocardial revascularization surgery and with deep incisional surgical site infection (88; 75.2%). Negative pressure wound therapy was used on mean for 16 (±9.5) days/patient; 1.7% had complications associated with therapy and 53.8% had discomfort, especially pain (93.6%). The duration of therapy was related to the severity of SSI (p=0.010) and the number of exchanges performed (p=0.045).
negative pressure wound therapy has few complications, but with discomfort to patients.
描述行负压伤口治疗术治疗外科部位感染的心脏手术后患者的流行病学和临床特征之间的关系。
这是一项观察性、横断面分析研究，纳入了便利样本，包括病历记录中诊断为外科部位感染并接受负压伤口治疗术治疗的行胸骨心脏手术的患者的病历记录。
共纳入 117 例患者，主要接受了心肌血管重建手术，且均为深部切口外科部位感染（88 例；75.2%）。患者平均接受负压伤口治疗术 16（±9.5）天/例；1.7%的患者与治疗相关的并发症，53.8%的患者有不适，尤其是疼痛（93.6%）。治疗时间与 SSI 的严重程度相关（p=0.010），与更换次数相关（p=0.045）。
负压伤口治疗术并发症少，但会给患者带来不适。
