The influence of the IKAP nursing model on wound healing following vacuum sealing drainage in acute infective endocarditis: a retrospective study
The findings suggest a potential association between the IKAP nursing model and improved wound healing, pain management, and reduced postoperative complications in patients undergoing VSD for acute IE, particularly during the early recovery phase. Given the retrospective nature and observed attenuation of effects at week 8, prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
