Reducing the risk of surgical site complications with sNPWT (meta-analysis + NICE)Reducing the risk of surgical site complications with sNPWT (meta-analysis + NICE)
There is a growing body of clinical evidence in which prophylactic NPWT has shown to reduce the risk of surgical site complications.
A meta-analysis was performed showing the impact of PICO◊ sNPWT on several clinically important SSCs, including SSI, dehiscence, seroma and necrosis, compared with standard of care.
What you will learn:
- Describe the study criteria for the literature review and studies included in meta-analysis
- List the clinical and economic endpoints measured in the meta-analysis
- Recall the results of the meta-analysis
- Justify the use of PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (sNPWT) as recommended by NICE
