Objectives

1. Discuss the challenges of peripheral vascular surgery and identify the high-risk patient in the acute care setting.

2. Review a clinical pathway for single negative pressure wound therapy (sNPWT) for groin incisions.

3. Summarize clinical evidence to support the use of sNPWT vs. standard of care in high-risk peripheral vascular surgery patients.

4. Explore strategies to empower wound care clinicians to mitigate SSI risk.
