Negative pressure wound therapy for postsurgical mediastinitis

Record ID 32013000149
English
Authors' recommendations: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a treatment for acute, subacute, and chronic wounds that involves the application of subatmospheric pressure to the open wound with the goal of creating a controlled, closed wound amenable to surgical closure, grafting, or healing by secondary intention. NPWT is intended as an adjunct treatment for the healing of nonhealing or slow healing acute or chronic wounds that are refractory to standard treatment. This report focuses on NPWT for the treatment of postsurgical mediastinitis.
