I'm very sorry to hear of your son's illness. I am familiar with the multiple complications of compromised skin integrity and wound care in a patient with compromised immune systems. Please provide a few more details, so I may answer your question (s) entirely.
Is he being seen by a wound care specialist for treatment and therapy?
Have the wounds been evaluated and cultured?
Is he at an inpatient rehab hospital?
Who does his wound care outside the hospital?
When the VAC was originally prescribed, was a wound care management plan determined, and if so is this the same wound care being used at this time?
Was VAC terminated for a reason besides completion of therapy?
Besides the question of returning to VAC are you seeking information on current available treatments for inpatient wound care, or home mangement of wounds after discharge?
Any information you can provide to guide my answer will be helpful in providing your answer. I will watch for your response in the morning and prepare your answer.
