Objective To explore the leakage management and skin care by improved homemade portable vacuum sealing drainage device used for enterocutaneous fistula, in order to solve such confusing problems as leakage collection and nursing for patients with inconvenient activity. Methods The homemade portable vacuum sealing drainage device was made by using hydrophilic fiber of silver ion antimicrobial dressings, leak-proof strings, skin protective film, transparent patches, sputum suction tube, bottle of portable infusion, and negative pressure drainage bottle. Between January 2011 and September 2013, patients with enterocutaneous fistula admitted into our hospital were divided into traditional treatment group and portable vacuum sealing treatment group according to the admission time, and traditional center negative pressure suction treatment and portable negative pressure drainage method were used respectively for the two groups of patients. We verified the effect of the mobile vacuum sealing drainage device through comparing these two groups in terms of wound healing time, redness, burst and impregnation of the skin. Results The wound healing time was significantly shorter for patients in the portable vacuum sealing drainage treatment group (P<0.05), and patients in this group also had a lower occurrence of skin redness, impregnation and burst. Conclusion Homemade portable negative pressure drainage device for enterocutaneous fistula patients can reduce the incidence of skin complications such as redness, impregnation and burst, promote patients' activity, and reduce the patients' pain.
