On day 56, askin biopsy was performed for tissue culture in order to grow a skin graft for K.A. an allograft was placed over the exposed fascia as a temporary measure to provide coverage. An allograft is skin taken from another individual of the same species and is done as atemporary measure until a skin graft can be placed.
Over the next5-6 weeks, K.A. remained critical ill. He continued to require HFOV,cardiovascular support in the from of volume and vasoactive infusions, as well as steroids, broad-spectrum antibiotics , antifungal coverage, diuretic therapy due to overwhelming anasarca and aggressive pain/sedation management. Wound management was extremely challenging as he developed several fistulas that reoccurred frequently despite attempts to repair.
At approximately I month postoperatively, the surgical incision was closed with the exception of a 2 cm segment that was allowed to create an enterostomy. A VAC device was placed over the exposed fascia to promote granulation. The VAC device provided a negative (sub-atmospheric) pressure wound therapy through the open cell polyurethane (non-latex) foam dressing. The dressing was then covered with a transparent adhesive film drape connected to a drainage collection system creating an airtight seal.
