Objective To investigate the efficacy of negative pressure drainage technology and conventional dressing methods in the management of complex wounds in the intensive care unit, and to compare the impact of the two methods on the incidence of complications, nursing compliance, and patient satisfaction with nursing care. Methods A total of 50 patients with complex wounds admitted to a hospital were selected as the research subjects and were randomly divided into the study group and the conventional group, with 25 cases in each group. The study group used negative pressure drainage technology for wound management, while the conventional group used traditional dressing methods. The incidence of complications (bleeding, tissue damage, infection) and nursing satisfaction(involving nursing safety, nursing effectiveness, operational skills, and nursing services)were compared between the two groups. Results In terms of complications, the total incidence of complications in the study group was 8.00%,which was significantly lower than that of the conventional group at 32.00%,with a χ2 value of 4.500 and P<0.05,indicating a statistically significant difference. The incidence of tissue damage in the study group was 0.00%, while the incidence of bleeding and infection were 4.00%respectively, which were significantly better than those in the conventional group. Regarding nursing satisfaction, the scores for nursing safety, nursing effectiveness, operational skills, and nursing services in the study group were significantly higher than those in the conventional group(P<0.05),with specific scores of 90.21±2.75 for nursing safety, 92.27±2.33 for nursing effectiveness, 91.56±2.42 for operational skills, and 90.73±2.53 for nursing services. Conclusion Negative pressure drainage technology in the intensive care unit is significantly more effective than conventional dressing methods in the management of complex wounds. It can not only effectively reduce the incidence of complications in patients and improve nursing compliance, but also significantly enhance patient satisfaction with nursing care. Negative pressure drainage technology has significant advantages in preventing bleeding, reducing tissue damage, and controlling infection, and is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
