Abstrakt: Background: In an experimental study the performance of different closed abdominal drainage systems was tested.
Methods: A vacuum bottle designed for Redon Drainage, a flexible plastic bulb designed for Jackson-Pratt drains and a V.A.C. ® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System were used. In a porcine cadaveric study mimicking the abdominal cavity the intrinsic pressure (IP) at one and three minutes (T0, T3) and the amount of evacuated fluid were measured.
Results: The Redon and Jackson drainage displayed a rapid decline to IP values of almost zero comparing T0 and T3. Only the V.A.C. ® system was able to preserve constant values of negative IP values measured at both time points. Only the V.A.C. ® system was able to remove almost the whole amount of inserted fluid.
Conclusions: In an experimental setting the V.A.C. ® system was superior to the other two tested systems in delivering constant negative IP and the amount of evacuated fluid.
