Nursing Report on VSD Technology for a Patient with Severe Pneumonia Complicated by Complex Pressure Ulcers
This article presents a successful nursing experience of a patient with severe pneumonia complicated by complex refractory pressure ulcers. Due to severe pneumonia and hypoalbuminemia, the patient's systemic condition deteriorated, leading to infected sacrococcygeal complex pressure ulcers that were unresponsive to conventional care. A personalized nursing protocol combined with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology was implemented based on the patient’s complex condition and ulcer characteristics. Through multidisciplinary collaboration and systematic interventions, the patient achieved effective control of pulmonary infection, significant improvement in nutritional status, robust granulation tissue growth in the ulcerated area, and complete infection resolution. The wounds ultimately healed, and the patient was discharged after 54 days of treatment.
