Abstract

Abstract


Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation (NPWTi) in treating infected wounds. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 27 patients with 36 different wounds. The wounds were treated with NPWTi at Bach Mai Hospital and Hanoi Medical University Hospital from May 2022 to August 2024. Results: The 18-60 age group accounted for the highest proportion (51.9%), with an average age of 54.3 ± 16.7 years. All wounds were infected prior to NPWTi treatment, with severe infections in 22.22%, moderate infections in 66.67%, and mild infections in 11.11%. After NPWTi treatment, 86.11% of the wounds showed no signs of infection, and 13.89% exhibited mild infections. According to the Sessing scale classification, 63.89% of wounds were classified as grade 4 and 36.11% as grade 5 before NPWTi treatment. After treatment, 8.33% of the wounds were recorded as grade 2, 86.11% as grade 3, and 5.56% as grade 4. Conclusion: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation (NPWTi) is highly effective in treating infected wounds and facilitates surgical closure and reconstruction.
