Results: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is superior in the shorter time of mechanical ventilation and decreased late complications with a value of p= 0.014 and a value of p=0.012 respectively; not so with regard to the start of the enteral route, stay hospital and mortality, where there was no statistical significance at be compared between the 3 study groups.
