Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lower limb wounds are frequently observed in clinical practice and often present a real challenge for health care practitioners. Lower extremity wound care requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a number of different health care professionals in order to achieve optimum patient care. Nurses and podiatrists, in particular, are frequently involved in the assessment and management of lower extremity wounds, often working in partnership. Lower Extremity Wounds: A problem-based learning approach is the first wound care book that has been written as a joint venture by experienced nurses and podiatrists, all with expert knowledge in wound care. It highlights the importance of multi-professional collaboration to encourage the crossing and dismantling of professional boundaries, to increase understanding of each other's roles, and ultimately to ensure that the patient receives the best available evidence-based interventions during their health care journey. Taking a problem-based learning approach, each of the ten chapters highlights best practice in the management of wounds by type, discusses clinical guidelines and current evidence, and links this theory to a clinical scenario thus bridging the theory to practice gap. Numerous full-colour illustrations are used throughout the book to visually enhance the reader's learning. Aimed at both students and practitioners, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in lower extremity wound care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compartment syndrome is a complex physiologic process with significant potential harm, and though an important clinical problem, the basic science and research surrounding this entity remains poorly understood. This unique open access book fills the gap in the knowledge of compartment syndrome, re-evaluating the current state of the art on this condition. The current clinical diagnostic criteria are presented, as well as the multiple dilemmas facing the surgeon. Pathophysiology, ischemic thresholds and pressure management techniques and limitations are discussed in detail. The main surgical management strategy, fasciotomy, is then described for both the upper and lower extremities, along with wound care. Compartment syndrome due to patient positioning, in children and polytrauma patients, and unusual presentations are likewise covered. Novel diagnosis and prevention strategies, as well as common misconceptions and legal ramifications stemming from compartment syndrome, round out the presentation. Unique and timely, Compartment Syndrome: A Guide to Diagnosis and Management will be indispensable for orthopedic and trauma surgeons confronted with this common yet challenging medical condition.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Millions of individuals in the United States and worldwide have diabetes mellitus that is often complicated by peripheral neuropathy and/or ischemia due to lower-extremity arterial disease, which leads to foot ulceration and limb loss at great cost to the individual and the health-care system. Therefore, specialized, evidence-based wound care for those individuals is an area of great need. This third edition of the WOCN Society’s Guideline for Management of Patients with Lower-Extremity Wounds Due to Diabetes Mellitus and/or Neuropathic Disease is the result of a systematic search, review, and synthesis of evidence from literature published from January 2014 through May 2018 with some relevant updates from 2019–2021 during the consensus review process. The target audience for the guideline includes wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) specialty nurses and other health-care professionals who specialize in, direct, or provide wound care for patients with/or at risk for lower-extremity (LE) wounds due to diabetes mellitus and/or neuropathic disease (DM/ND). The guideline lists 72 specific recommendations along with summaries of the supporting evidence for screening and diagnosis, assessment, and management of patients with LE wounds due to DM/ND. Topics include the following: Comprehensive assessment and examination of the patient and lower extremities; Vascular assessment/tests; Examination of feet for peripheral neuropathy and loss of protective sensation; Identification/stratification of foot risk; Wound assessment, classification, and management; Off-loading and wound protection; Identification, diagnosis, and treatment of infection and osteomyelitis; Neuropathic pain management; Lifestyle measures to influence wound healing; Non-Surgical management of Charcot foot; Adjunctive therapies; Surgical interventions, Strategies including patient education to prevent wounds and/or adverse outcomes. In addition, the guideline provides a guide for applying evidence-based knowledge to clinical practice" --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the temporal development of symptom onset and severity and to determine relationships between delayed wound healing (wound total surface area), symptoms (depressive symptoms [DS], pain, sleep disturbance [SD]), and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery [MMS] of lower extremity non melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) healing by secondary intention. This is a prospective exploratory study of patients undergoing MMS for NMSC in a single academic dermatological surgery clinic. Subjects were enrolled on the day of surgery and followed weekly for 4 weeks, except 4 subjects were followed weekly until healed. Descriptive statistics and T-tests were used to explore differences between those with and without wound expansion at week 1 among these variables: demographics, co-morbidities, laboratory values, and NIH PROMIS DS, pain, SD, and HRQoL surveys. Logistic regression was performed between the variables and the wound expansion group to determine predictors of wound healing. An analysis revealed that subjects undergoing MMS for NMSC generally have good HRQoL, and symptom measures and HRQoL consistently improve by week 4 postoperatively. There was no significant relationships noted between demographics, co-morbidities, laboratory values, symptom measures, HRQoL, and wound total surface area. A trend was noted with the 14 subjects with 5 experiencing wound expansion greater than -15% expansion and 9 were without expansion at week 1. No significant differences were noted between demographics, co-morbidities, laboratory values, symptom measures, or health related quality of life with those with and without wound expansion, except for age. Age was significantly different with the wound expansion group averaging 12 years older (p = 0.02). Of the 4 subjects followed until healed, 2 subject's wounds expanded and required 10-12 weeks to heal compared to 6-8 weeks in 2 subjects without wound expansion. Logistic regression revealed a trending toward significance (p=.08) with age. The likelihood for experiencing wound expansion increases by 24% for every increase in year (OR = 1.24 CI 95% 0.97-1.58). In conclusion, this preliminary report reveals that older adults may be more likely to have wound expansion, which may result in delayed wound healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide non-specialist healthcare practitioners with current, focused and objective information on the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. In day-to-day clinical practice many healthcare practitioners do not have a working knowledge of the most common vascular diseases that frequently arise in patient care. Some of these topics include: aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot, venous thromboembolism, cerebrovascular disease, aortic dissection, and acute limb ischemia. These commonly encountered vascular diseases are becoming public health issues due to their high morbidity and mortality as well as increasing healthcare costs. Since patients with vascular diseases are often referred to non-specialists, the general practitioner must know how to proper handle the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. For each disease the concept, epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis and treatment are described, followed by essential advice on what the non-specialist can do for the patient and when to refer the patient to a specialist.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic wounds are those which do not progress through the healing process in a timely and predicted manner. Chronic leg and foot ulcers occur in many adults with vascular disease or diabetes. These ulcers last, on average, 12 to 13 months, are recurring in up to 60% to 70% of patients, and can lead to loss of function, poor quality of life, and ill-health. As the population ages, chronic wounds are becoming more prevalent, more difficult to treat, and care for chronic wounds has been reported to cost 2% to 3% percent of the healthcare budgets in developed countries. The goal of chronic wound management is to facilitate healing, which may include optimal moisture balance, restoration of blood flow to the wound, compression therapy, prevention of infection, and debridement. This variability of treatment options and treatment needs for chronic wounds requires a multidisciplinary team. This team collaboration can allow for earlier diagnosis, better management, and may reduce the cost of treating wounds. Although nursing and non-specialist care are parts of an optimal multidisciplinary team, there is the need for specialist consultation and specialist-lead advanced care both as a part of and outside of the multidisciplinary teams as well. It is sometimes unclear when the advanced care is needed, at what point in the process specialists should be involved in the care pathway, and which patients should be referred for specialist care, especially with respect to vascular and plastic surgeons. The objective of this review is to summarize the clinical evidence regarding the need for specialist-lead advanced care, indications for referral to specialist care, and the guidelines regarding the multidisciplinary management, including specialist care, for chronic, non-healing, non-pressure-related lower extremity wounds.
