This study aims to compare the effects of Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and wet-to-dry dressing on Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries (PI), This study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 30 patients with Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: NPWT group and the wet-to-dry dressing group. All patients received 3 rounds of treatment. Data were collected with a Patient Identification Form, Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) Tool and the findings of the Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement (3DWM) device. We found that granulation tissue formation was more significant in the experimental group (p .05), and that there was more significant wound shrinkage (p .05) with a more significant decrease in the PUSH Tool scores (p .05). The wounds were assessed with the tool and the 3DWM system. Device measurements were found to be correlated with PUSH Tool findings (p .05). There was a significant correlation between device-measured granulation findings and PUSH Tool score results of the experimental group's third measurements (p .05). We conclude that NPWT is an effective treatment method for pressure injuries, and 3DWM device is a useable wound assessment tool. |
