1. Wound Debridement and Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy
This segment will cover all facets of wound debridement and why it is necessary to remove necrotic tissue from the wound bed to promote closure. Many types of debridement exist, and often more than one is used by practitioners, based on individual patient factors, to optimize wound healing. This chapter will also cover primary indications and applications of negative-pressure wound therapy in complex wound healing.
2. Types of Wound Dressings
Many options exist for wound dressings and coverage. This segment will review each category of wound dressings, including indications and contraindications for use, to familiarize the therapist with the many options that are available to promote healing and closure.
3. Wound Coverage Selection
Now that practitioners are armed with knowledge of the many options for wound coverage, this segment covers a systematic approach to wound dressing selection based on wound characteristics and individual patient factors. This will help the practitioner problem-solve through scenarios and challenges to determine the best possible options for wound care and coverage and then make changes as closure occurs and healing progresses.
