Nursing care protocol with vacuum therapy for Fournier’s gangrene in adult men

Abstract

Fournier Gangrene [FG] is a necrotizing infection that occurs very rarely in the genital, perineal and perianal region. Diabetes Mellitus [DM] is considered a risk factor, since the presence of hyperglycemia for long periods has negative effects pathogens on the person's immunity. The use of vacuum therapy has gained importance in the treatment of complex wounds, being considered in the control of injuries caused by Fournier Syndrome, as it stimulates angiogenesis and leads to increased tissue formation. Objective: Analyze and systematize the Nursing care protocol that incorporates vacuum therapy in the treatment of Fournier's Gangrene in adult men. This investigation focuses on investigating the effectiveness of the care protocol in the management of Fournier's Gangrene, considering the clinical results achieved and the contribution of Nursing professionals in this process. Additionally, we sought to understand how the protocol is implemented, identifying the key elements of the Nursing intervention and its influence on therapeutic results. The comprehensive analysis of the nursing care protocol with vacuum therapy aims to provide relevant insights for the continuous improvement of care provided to people with Fournier Gangrene, contributing to increasing nursing knowledge in clinical practice.
