Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy
Which of the following is a contraindication fornegative-pressure wound therapy?
a. Traumatic wounds associated with open fractures
b. Fasciotomy wounds
c. Wounds with exposed vessels and nerves
d. Wounds associated with exposed tendons, bones,and joints
e. Wounds with exposed hardware
The most appropriate approach for negative-pressure wound therapy includes which of thefollowing?
a. The dressing changes should be at intervals of 7 to11 days
b. The duration of therapy is anywhere from a fewdays to several months
c. The size and severity of the wound should notdictate the length of treatment
d. It should not be used in conjunction with antibi-otics
e. In the event of a suction leak, the treatmentshould be abandoned because reinforcement of
the adhesive is not recommendedTo take the online test and receive CME credit, go to http://www.jhandsurg.org/CME/home.
