6 General Protocols for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System Compiled by Jen Agosti, RN, CWCA, FACCWS, President, Nurse Sharks Introduction: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is indicated for the types of wounds which may benefit from an environment encouraging removal of fluids and drainage from the wound bed and enhancing circulation to the wound surface to promote healing. Treatment goals include: management of exudate; controlling infection; promoting tissue granulation; contraction of wound edges; angiogenesis; and remodeling of tissue matrix. Indication for use of NPWT: Stage III and IV pressure ulcers Surgical and acute wounds Neuropathic and venous insufficiency ulcers Traumatic wounds Chronic wounds Contraindications/Precautions for NPWT: Malignant wounds Areas where major organs, bone, or blood vessels are exposed Untreated osteomyelitis Multi-system failure (Failure to Thrive) Wounds with eschar Uncooperative patient Anticoagulant use Malnutrition Immunocompromised When to Stop NPWT: Wound it too dry Wound is superficial Pain at wound site with application of NPWT Wound has achieved adequate granulation tissue for alternate therapy or surgical interventions

7 Dressing Application and Change Procedures: Before initiating dressing procedure, turn the pump on to ensure that the unit is functioning, and then turn it back off. Open the canister set package and place the bacterial filter* in the top left corner of the unit (it only fits one way), attach the 12 clear tubing to the 90 degree white elbow connector and insert the elbow connector into the filter and attach the other end of tubing to the canister lid labeled vacuum. Thoroughly cleanse the wound with NSS and gently pat dry the peri-wound skin Apply skin barrier to peri-wound skin and allow to air dry Line the wound bed with the non-adherent contact layer, cut to mimic wound bed size Saturate the AMD gauze with saline Place the clamp on the drain tubing and sandwich the drain between saline moistened gauze, pack any remaining depth with saline soaked gauze 4x4 s The gauze should be on top of/surrounding the drain tubing Protect the peri-wound skin where the drain will draped to prevent additional skin breakdown (may use hydrogel or hydrocolloid Cover the entire wound with transparent occlusive dressing, make sure the dressing surrounds the wound edges by 1-2 inches Seal the suction catheter with the transparent film by squeezing the film around the suction catheter Attach the suction catheter to the male adapter on the drain tubing Close the clamp Turn pump on to continuous suction therapy and dial setting to between 60-80mmHg Release the clamp, you should hear a sucking down noise and be able to visualize the dressing suck down as well Listen for air leaks and patch any leaks with transparent dressings Inspect the dressing for a complete seal at least every 4 hours and reinforce as necessary Check the pressure setting at least every shift to maintain proper suction

8 Initial dressing, drain, and tubing changes in 48 hours then 3 times weekly (depending upon length of seal and amount of drainage), after two weeks, the dressing changes may be decreased to 2x weekly if the physician feels that is indicated based on wound drainage and longevity of seal Pressure settings may also be increased in increments of 10mmHg weekly if the physician feels that this is indicated to expedite fluids drainage Technical Tips: Change the dressing, drain, and tubing 3x a week Change the canister every 2 weeks and as needed for full container Change the bacterial filter with each canister change and if overflow occurs Setting up and managing the Pump: Plug into outlet Set black button on the front of the machine to continuous mode Adjust the blue dial to between mmhg, push dial in and turn to adjust rate Insert the bacterial filter with the elbow connector and short tubing into the left opening Connect the tubing to the bacterial filter Canister Management: Connect the blue end of the tubing to the canister; the white male end is connected to the drain which is placed in the wound bed Battery Management: The internal battery has a minute lifespan To recharge the battery, plug into outlet, for at least 2 hours and turn the pump off (clamp tubing while recharging the unit) *The bacterial filter must be used at all times, failure to use this filter may result in overflow passing into the internal parts of the pump, causing the pump to become contaminated and therefore requiring the unit to be taken out of service. Failure to use the bacterial filter may result in a charge to the facility for the internal replacement parts. These instructions are intended to be utilized as a guide according to the manufacturer s recommended protocols for use: Nurse Sharks, Inc. is not responsible for individual interpretation of these guidelines. Please contact either Armscare at (724) / or Nurse Sharks, Inc. at (814) for troubleshooting and/or clinical concerns.
