Abstract:
Negative pressure wound therapy, with its wide indications and narrow contraindications, has been widely used for various complicated wounds. Despite its excellent properties in promoting wound healing, there are sporadic but increasing reports on the complications. These complications included bleeding, infection, pain, rupture of the heart, and death in the short term. When used for the long term, the therapy may decrease life quality, increase anxiety, and lead to malnutrition. In this review, we briefly summarize the complications of negative pressure wound therapy.
