Wounds are ubiquitous in the practice of nursing, it is very important that a lot of education and positive examples from practice in the world be devoted to the care of them. On the management of chronic wounds, a large percentage of the health budget declines. As the population older than 60 years increases, the percentage of chronic wounds diametrically increases. The fact is that the treatment of these wounds is expensive and long and a heavy burden for healthcare as well as medical professionals. In order to reduce the costs and the time of hospitalization, it is very important that the wounds (acute and chronic) are treated in the most up-to-date manner. Wound care is one of the oldest surgical problems. The overall development of wound knowledge, the ability to remove pain, the development of bacteriology, asepsis and antisepsis are the foundations of great progress in the management of wounds during the second half of the twentieth century. As wound management progressed, in the 1990s, a new method was discovered that was today considered the gold standard for wound healing - negative pressure wound therapy. Negative pressure therapy is a supportive method of treating chronic and acute wounds. A negative pressure of 40 to 125 mm Hg is used. The indication area is very wide and therapy has been widely used in a variety of clinical indications. With good and timely indication for the use of negative pressure therapy, antibiotic administration is unnecessary. The time of hospitalization has been shown to be statistically significantly less in patients treated with negative pressure compared to other methods. As the nurse spends the most time with the patient, her approach during negative pressure therapy is very important. Although there are training programs for the specialization of nurses across Europe, the programs vary.
