Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of surgical site infection [SSI] after vascular surgery is high and can have a devastating outcome. Conventional treatment is to apply a dressing with a protective function to minimize the risk of infection. The Negative Pressure Wound Therapy [NPWT] in closed surgical wounds emerges as a possible method that has advantages over conventional treatment in the postoperative period. Objective: To determine the effectiveness in preventing surgical wound infection between the use of NPWT and conventional methods in people undergoing vascular surgical interventions. Methodology: An Integrative literature review was conducted, n addition the articles were searched between 2018 and 2022 in the CINAHL Complete and MEDLINE Complete databases through the EBSCOhost platform. Ninety-three articles were identified and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analyzing the methodological quality, 6 articles were selected. Results: The analysis shows lower infection and complication rates with NPWT treatment compared to conventional treatment. The NPWT treatment is associated with lower cost, higher quality of life and reduced length of hospital stay and readmission when compared to conventional treatment. Conclusions: NPWT is more effective in preventing surgical wound infection than conventional treatment in the context of vascular surgery.
