Chronic wounds and complex soft tissue injuries present persistent challenges in clinical practice, often leading to extended hospital stays, significant financial burdens, and increased risks of severe complications, including infection. Traditional wound management techniques frequently encounter limitations, underscoring the critical need for more advanced and effective therapeutic interventions. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has emerged as a transformative method for treating such difficult wounds, showing considerable promise in accelerating healing processes and effectively controlling microbial contamination. Given the growing adoption of NPWT, a thorough evaluation of its real-world effectiveness, particularly within specific healthcare settings and leveraging contemporary data sources like electronic medical records, is essential. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of NPWT in managing complex soft tissue injuries at Can Tho Central General Hospital, utilizing objective and accurate data from electronic medical records to optimize patient care.

Medical professionals, researchers, hospital administrators, and policymakers involved in wound care, surgical specialties, and health information technology, particularly those in Vietnam.

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for complex soft tissue injuries, detailing patient demographics, injury characteristics, and treatment outcomes. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted at Can Tho Central General Hospital, analyzing data from 60 patients treated with NPWT between 2023 and 2024. Clinical and paraclinical data, meticulously extracted from the hospital's electronic medical records system, facilitated an objective and accurate assessment of the therapy's effectiveness. The findings demonstrate highly positive outcomes, with 95% of patients achieving good results. Notably, the wound infection rate dramatically decreased from 95% before NPWT to a mere 6.67% post-treatment. Furthermore, the therapy was associated with shorter average treatment times and a remarkably low complication rate, highlighting its efficacy in infection control, promoting granulation tissue formation, and accelerating wound healing. This research reinforces the critical value of NPWT as an effective modality for complex soft tissue injury management. It also underscores the immense potential of integrating health information technology, specifically electronic medical records, to enhance the accuracy, objectivity, and efficiency of clinical evaluation and research. The insights gained are invaluable for medical practitioners, hospital administrators, and researchers aiming to improve patient care and develop data-driven treatment protocols in similar regional healthcare contexts.
