Prophylactic PICO◊ dressing shortens wound dressing requirements post emergency laparotomy (EL-PICO◊ trial)
The use of NPWT in emergency laparotomy improves patients wound care experience, and was associated with trends towards fewer wound related complications. Cost effectiveness needs to be explored in order to further validate its use in the emergency setting, especially for patients with additional risk for SSI. Trial registration National Medical Research Registry (NMRR): NMRR-20-1975-55222.
