Today

Was my second day of my internship. Today I mostly did the basic care (washing, showering, change clothes, gave breakfast), but there was one thing that I never heard about: V.A.C. Therapy

V.A.C. Therapy consists of a foam dressing, which adapts to the contours of deep and irregularly shaped wounds. A drainage tube is placed in the dressing and an occlusive transparent film seals the wound and the drainage tube. The tube is connected to a vacuum source, which supplies the negative pressure. The concept is to turn an open wound into a controlled, closed wound while removing excess fluid from the wound bed, thus enhancing circulation and disposal of cellular waste from the lymphatic system.

The technique is usually considered for chronic wounds (those that fail to progress through the normal phases of healing-inflammation, proliferation, maturation-and thus do not heal), acute wounds (wounds that are expected to heal and demonstrate evidence of progression through the phases of healing), and difficult wounds (wounds with such associated factors as diabetes, arterial insufficiency, and venous insufficiency). However, KCI claim that the VAC can be used for a variety of wounds, also those that are not as severe

After 5 days there were positive results, the wound looks much better (a red wound) and it's closing beautifully! The patient has less pain and feels much better now.
