Hands-on Simulation – 3-Day Advanced Wound Care Training

Wound The specialty of care is there for a reason. The key pieces of knowledge required to successfully manage wounds include correct etiology assignments, diagnosis, treatment, and referrals.

Hands-on Simulation – 3-Day Advanced Wound Care Training

Wound The specialty of care is there for a reason. In order to manage wounds effectively, it is essential to have the right etiology, diagnosis, treatment, referrals and other pieces of information. During this intensive 3 hour session, Kim Saunders will provide you with the most recent information from research and practice guidelines.-Day training opportunity. As you integrate the latest best practice standards into patient care, your practice will grow.

The hands-On sessions, you will be able to simulate clinical competencies in order to deal with the ever-changing challenges of wound care. You will have the time to critically think through patient scenarios to determine what went right… and what went wrong. This learning environment is safe and allows you to ask questions of national wound care experts. You will be able to apply the skills you learn in this environment to improve your diagnosis, documentation, treatment, and management of wounds.

Three days of intense learning on the complexities of woundcare will revolutionize the way that you provide care, increase confidence, and remove your fears. 

Objective:

1. ABI performed at bedside will determine arterial insufficiency.
2. Match your wound with the best product
3. Based on four questions, develop wound dressing change orders
4. Clinical assessment can help determine the cause of a wound.
5. Anticipate the work you will do-Up to $80 per wound etiology
6. Demonstrate accurate measurement & documentation of wounds, tunneling, and undermining.
7. Use indications, execution, and precautions to distinguish product types.
8. Determine the type of debridement required for each clinical presentation.
9. Demonstrate the compression level/product that is based on ABIs.
10. Diabetic ulcers: Systemic assessment is required.
11. Analyze the standard of care protocols for diabetic wound treatment.
12. Describe the most difficult problems encountered in diabetic feet.
13. Talk about clinical pearls and various wound bed presentations.
14. Identify GI & GU pathophysiology with associated surgical diversions.
15. Demonstrate differences in flat, convexity, high-output, & closed-end pouches.
16. Differentiate between pseudostoma & fistula management.
17. Practice pouching options with EC fistulas & tube sites.
18. Assess the risk factors for neuropathic ulcers.

Outline:

Wound Tissue Assessment & Treatment

• Determine the cause based on your assessment
• To support healing goals, there are considerations across disciplines
• Attention to bone and tendon exposure
• Tips for the Non-healing tunneling/undermining wound
• Wound care measurements can go horribly wrong

4-Step Approach to Guide Wound Product Selection

1. Wet vs. dried
2. Depth vs. flat
3. Are there antimicrobial concerns?
4. Is there a need for a wound barrier to prevent incontinence from occurring?

Use the guidelines recommendations

• Pressure injuries, shearing
• Friction, skin tears, MARSI.
• Venous, arterial, neuropathic
• Surgical wounds
• What is the right time to refer someone?
• Documentation strategies to avoid costly errors
