lüll VAC(R) for external fixation of flail chest Winge R; Berg JO; Albret R; Krag CClin Pract 2012[May]; 2 (3): e65A large aterior chest wall defect following tumor resection was reconstructed with a Gore-Tex(R) membrane and a combined musculocutaneous rectus femoris and tensor fasciae latae free flap. Subsequent paradoxical respiration impeded weaning from the ventilator. Appliance of Vacuum Assisted Closure(R) (VAC(R)) resulted in immediate chest wall stability and a decrease in the patient's need for respiratory support. Shortly thereafter, the VAC(R) was discontinued and the patient was discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). This case report is the first to describe the successful use of VAC(R) as an adjuvant to a one-stage procedure for large thoracic wall reconstruction, allowing sufficient temporary external fixation to eliminate paradoxical respiration and plausibly shorten the stay in the ICU. No adverse effects on flap healing or haemodynamics were recorded. It is likely that external VAC(R) can improve thoracic stability and pulmonary function in a patient with flail chest and decrease the need for mechanical ventilation.ä |
