Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in High Risk Patients Undergoing Cesarean
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Negative pressure wound therapy for Postoperative Wound Complications. Completed, enrolled 441 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose a prospective, randomized trial evaluating the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with high risk obstetrical patients. The investigators hypothesize that negative pressure wound therapy will decrease the wound complications in these patients. The investigators aim to look at all wound complications such as infection and disruption and will be using Prevena incision management system for our NPWT device .
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Single use negative pressure wound therapy systems are composed of a pressure pump and dressing kit. The pump creates a negative pressure of 125 mmHg (+/- 20 mgHg) and the dressing directly covers surgical incision. The system is battery-powered and designed to be used for a minimum of two days and a maximum of seven days of continuous use. The investigators hypothesize that negative pressure wound therapy will decrease the wound complications in these patients. The investigators will be using Prevena Incision Management System as the negative pressure device in our study.
