    Objective: To analyze the evidence regarding the efficacy of negative pressure therapy to reduce surgical site infection and hospital stay in intensive care patients. Materials and Methods: The research design is a systematic review, with a search conducted in databases: Scielo, Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane Plus, Epistemonikos. The population consisted of 22 articles, and the sample was made up of 10 articles. The articles were evaluated using the GRADE system, which assesses the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation. Results: The scientific evidence comes from countries such as England (20%), followed by the United States (10%), Australia (20%), Sweden (10%), Spain (10%), Italy (10%), Ireland (10%), and Costa Rica (10%). 80% of the articles demonstrate the efficacy of negative pressure therapy in reducing surgical site infection and hospital stay in intensive care patients, while 20% show no evidence of efficacy due to small sample studies. Conclusions: Negative pressure therapy is effective in reducing surgical site infection and hospital stay in intensive care patients.
