Developed: August, 2002 Revised: AmevT VACUUM ASSISTED CLOSURE (V.A.C-®) ATTAC 4 POLICY: Senior Home Care Inc.’s (SHC) patients who may benefit from the procedure (as determined by their physician) receive treatment through an extended period of exposure to sub-atmospheric pressure to promote wound healing. The skilled nurse or physical therapist performs the procedure by physician order. PURPOSE: To promote wound healing through the application of continuous and/or intermittent sub- atmospheric pressure (vacuum assisted closure-V.A.C. also called negative pressure_-wound therapy or NPWT) Boe a * yen A CONTRAINDICATIONS TO THE PROCEDURE: ee , me ts on : “~ ‘s, * Patients with paca e Malignancy in the wound Untreated osteomyelitis Fistulas to body organs or cavities Necrotic tissue with eschar present Exposed arteries or veins in the area of proposed treatment SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: e A written order for the NPWT pump and supplies-signed and dated by the treating physician-must be received by the supplier before items are delivered to the patient » The supplier must obtain a quantitative monthly assessment of the wound healing progress, from the clinician (nurse or therapist) to determine whether the patient continues to qualify for Medicare coverage of equipment and supplies e Wound measurements must be documented at least weekly in the clinical progress/visit notes e Bleeding precautions (education and lifestyle modification) must be instituted with patients who have active bleeding, difficult wound homeostasis, are on anticoagulant therapy or who will have V.A.C. therapy to irradiated areas e Sub-atmospheric pressure therapy must be active for a minimum of 22 hours a day. If therapy is inactive (“off”) for more than two hours per day, the special therapy dressing must be removed © Two types of V.A.C. are available. The supplier follows Medicare guidelines of mobility, wound-type and drainage amounts to determine whether the mains-powered (plugged into an electric socket) or the Mini V.A.C. (ambulant V.A.C.) is appropriate e Only clinicians (skilled nurse or physical therapist) trained in the use of V.A.C. may use the system e All blood and body fluid is considered to be potentially infectious. Standard precautions apply. Follow SHC policy on biohazardous waste e Items such as SkinPrep®, hydrocolloid skin barriers, Q-Tips®, measuring devices, scissors, gloves and biohazardous waste containers are not supplied by the V.A.C. supplier and will be drawn from SHC stock SENIOR HOME CARE, ENC. Developed: August, 2002 Revised: VACUUM ASSISTED CLOSURE (V.A.C.®) VERIFICATION OF ELIGIBILTY FOR THE TREATMENT: 1) An Initial Statement of Ordering Physician (SOP) will be provided by the supplier. It must be completed and signed by the physician prior to the start of therapy. The ISOP includes a wound profile, wound measurement and a physician prescription e Complete Sections I, II and Ill of the ISOP and fax to the supplier. Supplier will verify within 48 hours that eligibility criteria are met NOTE: Type of foam (one of two types, or both) supplied will depend on how ISOP section Il is completed e Fax Section IV (Physician’s Prescription Section) of ISOP to the physician for completion. Have physician’s office fax signed order to SHC and follow with mailed original signature e Fax signed Section IV to supplier. Mail originals to supplier. Copy to chart 2) The supplier will notify SHC by phone and release equipment and supplies for delivery upon receipt of ISOP signed by the physician and verification of eligibility by Medicare oN PROCEDURE: 1) Verify the physician’s order. 2) Confirm that the equipment and supplies are at the site of treatment 3) Assemble equipment, including V.A.C. unit (mains-powered or MiniV.A.C.) Tubing and canister set(s) Foam (one or both types) and dressing set(s) Hydrocolloid or other skin preparation items (not supplied) Scissors Gloves Biohazardous waste containers Electrical adaptor (3-to-2 pronged adaptor) Wound camera and Consent Form (unless already initialed on Patient Consent) NOTE: Although many V.A.C. components are sterile, the dressing application and management are “clean” procedures, i.e. not sterile. 4) Wash hands. Use standard precautions 5) Prepare the wound site e Aggressively clean wound per orders e Debride necrotic tissue, eschar if trained and authorized (only PT and only by physician order) Irrigate wound with Normal Saline if ordered Dry and prepare periwound tissue as appropriate to receive adhesive drape If necessary, “window” an area of 3-5 cm around the wound with a hydrocolloid dressing or similar (not supplied) to form a base for attachment of the V.A.C. drape 6) Apply V.A.C dressing (foam pieces and drape) e Select and open V.A.C. dressing kit with enough foam to fill entire wound cavity e Size and trim drape to cover foam dressing, plus 3-5cm border of intact skin. Keep extra drape to cover tubing and patch leaks as needed SENIOR HOME CARE, INC. Developed: August, 2002 Revised: VACUUM ASSISTED CLOSURE ( V.A.C.®) e Cut foam to fit size and shape of wound (s) including tunnel and undermined areas”, © Gently place foam into wound cavity, covering entire wound base and sides, tunneleth and undermined surfaces wn Py NOTE: When using more than one piece of foam, at least one edge of each foam. piece must touch at least one other foam piece to facilitate suctioning of fluid ant debris and to prevent opposing wound surfaces from being forced into contact wi one another See, e Cover both the foam and the surrounding 3-5 cm of healthy tissue with the drape to & ensure an occlusive seal ; NOTE: Do not stretch drape when applying. Do not compress foam into wound with drape. This will minimize shearing/tension on tissue surrounding the wound © Cut off the tip of the V.A.C. tubing at a 45-degree angle just proximal to the fenestrations Cut small hole in drape and sponge to accommodate tip of tubing Place the tubing, beveled side down into one piece of foam, such that minimal pressure will be applied to the wound edges. Place tubing away from bony prominences. Tubing must not penetrate all the way through the foam © Cover tube at entry site and proximally with extra drape. Lift tubing gently near entry site and pinch 1-2 cm drape together undemeath the tube to form a seal and hold tube away from wound area. Extra foam may be used on top of the drape under the tube to prevent tube pressure on the wound and surrounding area(s) e Secure tube with an extra piece of drape or tape several centimeters proximal to the wound area, to prevent stress on the pri dressing over the wound ¢ On drape and in clinical note, record both date and number of foam pieces inserted into wound e Change dressing every 48 hours or every 12 hours in case of infection e Handle used V.A.C. dressings, canisters and tubing per biohazardous protocol 7) Connect the V.A.C. Device e Remove canister from sterile packaging and insert into V.A.C. unit until it clicks into place e Connect dressing tubing to the canister tubing Open both clamps Place the V.A.C unit on a level surface or hang from a footboard. Therapy will be discontinued and an alarm will sound if the unit is tilted beyond a 45-degree angle for more than three (3) seconds or if the canister is not secure 8) Initiate therapy e Depress green-lit power button. Adjust V.A.C. unit settings per physician’s order. The default vacuum setting is 125mmHg e Note the button marked THERAPY ON/OFF e Depress THERAPY ON button. In one minute or less, dressing should collapse, unless a leak is present. Most leaks occur around the tubing. Leaks can be fixed by gently pressing around the tubing or the dressing edges as appropriate. Excess drape may also be used to patch leaks ——————————— SENIOR HOME CaRE, INC. Developed: August, 2002 Revised: VACUUM ASSISTED CLOSURE (V.A.C.®) 9) Dressing Removal e Note number of foam pieces in the wound (number is written on the drape) e Raise tube connector above level of pump unit ¢ Tighten clamp on the dressing tube and separate tubing at the connector e Allow V.A.C. unit to pull exudate in the canister tube into the canister, then tighten clamp on canister tube : Depress THERAPY OFF button to deactivate pump Stretch drape horizontally and slowly pull up from skin. Do not peel off. Gently remove all foam pieces from the wound PAIN, DRESSING ADHERENCE AND OCCLUSION: 1) For the patient whose wound is painful, consider: e A lower target pressure, i.e. less suction or lower mm Hg 2) To counteract dressing adherence, consider: e Placing a single layer of either a non-adherent, porous material or an impregnated wide-meshed petrolatum dressing (not supplied) on the surface of the wound e Instilling 1% lidocaine solution or normal saline-with a physician’s order-into the proximal tubing or injecting same into the foam with the pump at about 50 mmHg. Clamp the tube and wait about 15-20 minutes before removing the dressing e Using the white Soft-Foam, which has smaller cells than the black foam. Soft- Foam bonds less easily with granulated tissue. NOTE: The denser, white Soft-Foam requires higher negative pressures to be effective 3) To remove an occlusion, consider: e Repositioning the proximal lumen of the tube e Instilling normal saline (not supplied) down the proximal tubing MULTIPLE WOUNDS AND BRIDGING BETWEEN SITES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY: 1) Through the application of a “Y” connector to the canister tubing, one V.A.C. unit can be used to treat multiple wounds simultaneously 2) When “bridging” an area of intact skin between two or more separate wounds e Use a barrier on the intact skin between the two areas to be treated e Form a bridge between the areas by abutting edges of foam so that there is one continuous foam bridge between them Place tubing as usually done, preferably in a large piece of foam Drape the entire area as if it was one wound All foam should collapse when treatment is begun INFECTED WOUNDS: 1) Wounds infected with greater than 10° colony-forming-units (CFU’s), must have the V.A.C dressing changed every 12 hours, then ———————— SENIOR HOME CARE, INC. Developed: August, 2002 .
