NPWT - The Physics Behind the Therapy
1.5 contact hour*
Description:
This advanced practice training course covers the physics of negative pressure with emphasis on its use in medical applications including ways in which NPWT systems have been modified to perfect fluid and pressure dynamics.
Learning Objectives:
- To explain the physics of negative pressure
- To describe how negative pressure is created and the importance of a pressure gradient
- To explain how fluid removal occurs during NPWT
- To describe the ways in which NPWT devices have been modified to perfect fluid and pressure dynamics
- To describe the fundamental requirements of NPWT that need to be delivered for the full mechanisms of action to be realized
