Background: Open abdomen is an alternative for the management of trauma patient, and negative pressure therapy of the wound using VAC device is a genuine sort of treatment. Although the device poses technical advantages, risks are present and a critical complication is the enteroatmospheric fistula formation (EAF).

Objective: To analize the role of negative pressure therapy length and VAC device number of changes on the EAF formation in trauma patients udergoing open abdomen.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Luis F Moreno-Delagado"

  • - Luis F Moreno-Delagado's recent research focuses on the implications of negative pressure wound therapy (VAC therapy) in trauma patients with open abdomen, particularly examining the formation of enteroatmospheric fistulas (EAF).
  • - The study aims to analyze how the duration of negative pressure therapy and the frequency of changes to the VAC device influence the risk of EAF development in cases requiring abdominal reintervention.
  • - Findings suggest that while VAC therapy offers benefits in trauma management, it also presents significant risks, including the critical complication of EAF, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management strategies in vulnerable patients.
