Surgeons Treating Chronic Wounds: Let’s Go Beyond Debridement
Session Description
It is estimated that 60 percent of wounds managed in the home are surgical. Many of these become non-healing wounds resulting in 5 to 7 million health care visits annually. Despite the complexity, the average physician in training receives less than 10 hours of formal education related to wound care. This program will focus on the prevention and care of perioperative pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers and lymphedema, skin tears, burns, and large abdominal wall reconstructions. Topics will include the appropriate use of negative pressure wound therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, maggots, and antimicrobials; text messaging for surveillance of wound progress/problems; importance of debridement (sharp, mechanical, enzymatic or biologic methods); and use of the American College of Surgeons Home Wound Management skills program in the transition to home for patients/caregivers.
