Groin Dressing after cardiac catheterization. Comparison between light Dressing with thin transparent tape (Tegaderm) and conventional tight/Pressure Dressing with an elastic adhesive bandage (Tensoplast).
Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand Chotmaihet thangphaet, 2001Co-Authors: Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck, P Hutayanon, P Chanthanamatta, T Dumrongwatana, N Intarayotha, V Krisdee, S YamvongAbstract:Post cardiac catheterization puncture site care is usually done with a tight Pressure Dressing by an elastic adhesive bandage (Tensoplast) due to the belief that it should prevent bleeding. The practice is uncomfortable to the patients. The authors compared a new way of Dressing using light transparent tape (Tegaderm) to the conventional tight Pressure one. 126 post coronary angiography patients were randomized to have their groins dressed either with Tensoplast or with Tegaderm. Patients ambulated 8 hours after the procedures. The groin was evaluated for pain, discomfort and bleeding complications. 49 per cent in the Tensoplast vs 26.9 per cent in the Tegaderm group experienced pain (p value of 0.01). 55.5 per cent in the Tensoplast group vs 11.1 per cent in the Tegaderm group reported discomfort. 4.7 per cent in the Tensoplast vs 1.6 per cent in the Tegaderm group developed bleeding or hematoma. Dressing of the puncture site after cardiac catheterization with Tegaderm was more comfortable than the conventional Tensoplast without any difference in bleeding complications.

transparent film Dressing vs Pressure Dressing after percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography
American Journal of Critical Care, 2009Co-Authors: Stacie Mcie, Trisha Petitte, Lori Pride, Donna Leeper, Lynne C OstrowAbstract:Background Pressure Dressings have been used as the standard following sheath removal after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in many institutions. Patients complain about discomfort while the Dressing is in place, pain when the Dressing is removed after discharge, and skin complications afterward. Many patients have experienced skin irritation where tape has been applied. Nurses have also described difficulty assessing the sheath insertion site in the groin when a Pressure Dressing is in place. Objectives To compare 3 different Dressings with respect to effect on bleeding, discomfort voiced by patients, and ease of groin assessment in patients after percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography. Methods A total of 100 patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: Pressure Dressing, transparent film Dressing, or adhesive bandage. Outcome variables were bleeding, patient discomfort, and nurse-reported ease of observation of the groin site. Results No bleeding occurred in patients with transparent film Dressings or adhesive bandages. Patients rated these Dressings significantly higher than they rated the Pressure Dressing. Because two-thirds of the sample had previously undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography, they could compare their experience with the new Dressing with previous experiences with Pressure Dressings. Nurses rated the ease of assessing the groin significantly higher for the transparent film and adhesive bandage Dressings than for Pressure Dressings. Conclusions As a result of this study, a practice change was made hospital-wide: rather than a standard opaque Pressure Dressing, a transparent film Dressing is used for all patients after removal of a femoral sheath.

silver negative Pressure Dressing with vacuum assisted closure of massive pelvic and extremity wounds
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2014Co-Authors: Herrick J Siegel, Diego F HerreraAbstract:Background Massive soft tissue loss involving the pelvis and extremities from trauma, infections, and tumors remains a challenging and debilitating problem. Although vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) technology is effective in the management of soft tissue loss, the adjunct of a silver Dressing in the setting of massive wounds has not been as well tested.

Subatmospheric Pressure Dressing for saphenous vein donor-site complications
The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2001Co-Authors: Steven E. Greer, Eugene A. Grossi, Douglas H. L. Chin, Michael T. LongakerAbstract:Newer endoscopic techniques have been successful at reducing saphenous vein donor-site wound complications, but not entirely eliminating them. Tissue necrosis with superimposed infection is typically treated with antibiotics and surgical debridement. Typically, primary reclosure is not possible and the open leg wound is allowed to slowly granulate with Dressing changes until a skin graft can be performed. This report describes an alternative treatment using subatmospheric Pressure Dressing to promote granulation tissue and wound closure in saphenous vein donor-site wounds.

The use of subatmospheric Pressure Dressing therapy to close lymphocutaneous fistulas of the groin
British journal of plastic surgery, 2000Co-Authors: Steven E. Greer, Mark A. Adelman, Armen K. Kasabian, Robert D. Galiano, Ronald Scott, Michael T. LongakerAbstract:Groin lymphorrhea is an uncommon but serious complication of vascular and cardiac surgery as well as interventional procedures that cannulate the femoral vessels. Treatment options are somewhat controversial. For lymphocutaneous fistulas, a commonly used current modality is early surgical ligation with the assistance of blue-dye staining of the lymphatic anatomy. The purpose of this case series is to give the first description of a new, less invasive, approach using subatmospheric Pressure Dressing therapy for the treatment of the challenging problem of lymphocutaneous fistulas of the groin.

the use of subatmospheric Pressure Dressing for the coverage of radial forearm free flap donor site exposed tendon complications
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1999Co-Authors: Steven E. Greer, Michael T. Longaker, Michael S Margiotta, A J Mathews, Armen K. KasabianAbstract:Since its description in China in 1978, the radial forearm free flap has become a workhorse for the reconstructive surgeon. However, the flap has known disadvantages in complications of the wrist donor site. Skin graft breakdown with exposure of the flexor tendons of the wrist is the most common. The authors describe in a patient series a new treatment for this complication. They used subatmospheric Pressure Dressing to stimulate granulation tissue coverage of the tendon and to facilitate epithelialization. As many as one third of all patients undergoing radial forearm free flaps develop exposed tendon complications and may benefit from Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) therapy.

Techniques for applying subatmospheric Pressure Dressing to wounds in difficult regions of anatomy.
Journal of wound ostomy and continence nursing : official publication of The Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society, 1999Co-Authors: Steven E. Greer, Elizabeth Duthie, Barbara Cartolano, Kristen M Koehler, Diane Maydick-youngberg, Michael T. LongakerAbstract:Subatmospheric Pressure Dressing (SPD) has been commercially available in the United States since 1995 as the vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) device. SPD increases local blood flow, decreases edema and bacterial count, and promotes the formation of granulation tissue. Despite recent clinical successes with the use of SPD in a variety of wound types, problems may occur with application of VAC system in certain areas of the body. The main limitation occurs when attempting to maintain an airtight seal over irregular surfaces surrounding a wound. For example, application of the adhesive drape and creation of a seal are particularly difficulty in the hip and perineum. In addition, wounds of the lower extremity can occur in multiple sites, posing the problem of providing a vacuum Dressing to more than one wound from one suction pump machine. To address these challenging clinical wounds, we have developed techniques to allow the successful application of SPD to sacral Pressure ulcers near the anus, and to multiple large lower extremity ulcers.
