Question
Answer
Venous Insufficiency wound Draining pressure ulcer 1st and 2nd degree burns   Semipermeable foam (Allevyn) P/C Nonadhesive foams should be used on patients with fragile skin; Use skin sealant to prevent maceration CI: Dry or eschar-covered wounds; arterial ulcers; heel ulcers  
🗑
CI/PC for Venous Insufficiency wound   Concomitant arterial disease Allergic reactions and sensitization Inappropriate whirlpool use  
🗑
Rationsle for use of semipermeable foam dressing on draining wound   VI wound is draining and must absorb some of the drainage and maintain a warm moist environment. Too much drainage can result of periwound maceration and create a larger wound, so it needs to be controlled by using a semipermeable foam dressing.  
🗑
CI/PC for pressure ulcer   Control pressure and sheer forces Control moisture to prevent maceration Make sure it is hydrated  
🗑
Arterial Insufficiency Non-draining pressure ulcer   Hydrogel P/C Use skin sealant to prevent maceration; time the sheet hydrogel to the size of the wound CI: Do not use on heavily drainining wounds; bleeding wounds; sheet hydrogels on infected wounds; Gauze (telfa)  
🗑
Rationale for use of hydrogel   Hyrdogel provide a dry wound bed with moisture. Facilitates normal wound healing. Traps enzymes within the wound bed, facilitating autolytic debridement. Preserves growth factors, cytokines, promote cell growth, fibroblast prolif & collagen synthesis  
🗑
CI/PC for arterial insufficiency ulcers   Avoid compression and compression dressings Avoid sharp debridement of dry, eschar-covered, uninfected ulcers in patient with low ABIs Grangrenous tissue must be removed surgically  
🗑
Neuropathic Ulcer   Semipermeable foam (Allevyn) P/C Nonadhesive foams should be used on patients with fragile skin; Use skin sealant to prevent maceration CI: Dry or eschar-covered wounds; arterial ulcers; heel ulcers  
🗑
Raationale for use of Allyvn on Neuropathic Ulcer   Maintain a moist environment to Facilitate normal wound healing. Traps enzymes within the wound bed, facilitating autolytic debridement. Preserves growth factors, cytokines, promote cell growth, fibroblast prolif & collagen synthesis  
🗑
CI/PC for Neuropathic Ulcer   Monitor signs for hypoglycemia Educate foot guidelines proper foot wear  
🗑
Burns CI/PC   Prevent complications Contractions, infections, deconditioning, pulmonary dysfunction, pressure ulcers; Do not allow burn surfaces to touch one another, protect from friction  
🗑
Burns 3rd degree   Impregnated Gauze Dressing (Adaptic) P/C Venous insufficiency ulcers  
🗑
Rationale for adaptic on 3 degree burns   Help decrease trauma to wound bed during dressing changes, increase occlusiveness of gauze dressing  
🗑
PC/CI telfa   Tefla used for superficial, non-draining wounds closed by primary or secondary intention, so do not use on more significant wounds may cause maceration and larger wound size  
🗑
