Re: 68 Yro Man Burned 46% of His Body
Places on the body he was burnt. A 68-year-old male patient presenting with a three-day-old third-degree burn wound spanning 46% of the total body surface area (TBSA). After the infected wound was treated unsuccessfully with the standard of care (excision, debridement, and grafting), the team utilized NPWTi-d in order to mitigate the infection and promote the formation of granulation tissue, leading to the successful grafting of the burn wound. NPWTi-d was a useful adjunct in treating and stimulating wound healing in a complex patient. This is the first case report of its kind, utilizing a whole-body vacuum assisted closure (VAC) with NPWTi-d, with successful results showing a decreased bacterial burden, decreased morbidity and mortality, and patient wound closure. |
