This article reviews research that compares the two treatments on partial foot amputations, foot ulcers, infected wounds and dehisced post-surgical wounds. Methods: A systematic literature search was carried out using CINAHL, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library to locate and critique key studies comparing NPWT and conventional wound dressings to determine their quality. Findings: NPWT was found to be more effective in treating diabetic foot wounds compared with conventional wound dressings. NPWT was quicker at forming granulation tissue, achieving wound closure, removing infection from foot ulcer beds and decreasing wound dimensions. Data also showed greater incidence of amputations in those patients treated with moist wound dressings. Implications: Findings suggest that NPWT could be used as a primary treatment for diabetic foot wounds. Factors such as cost effectiveness and patient acceptability may have an impact on this treatment and will need to be investigated in implementing NPWT into practice.

Lancet Randomised Controlled Trial 112 day active treatment programme 162 NPWT (n=77) Moist dressings (n=85) Greater proportion of wounds achieved complete wound closure in NPWT (56%) compared to moist dressings (39%) P=0.040 Time to complete closure was faster in NPWT compared to moist dressings P= 0.005 Achievement of 76-100% granulation tissue was faster in NPWT (42 days) than moist dressings (84 days) P=0.002 Adverse events were similar in both treatment groups Blume PA, Walters J, Payne W, Ayala J, Lantis J (2008). Diabetes Care Randomised Controlled Trial 112 day active treatment programme 335 NPWT (n=169) Moist dressings (n=166) Greater proportion of wounds achieved complete closure in NPWT (43.2%) compared to moist dressings (28.9%) P=0.007 NPWT resulted in fewer secondary amputations P=0.035 No significant difference was observed in ulcer-related complications such as infection, cellulitis, and osteomyelitis Paola LD, Carone A, Ricci S, Russo A, Ceccacci T, Ninkovic S (2010).
