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

Wound Care is a specialty for good reason. In order to manage wounds effectively, it is essential to have a good understanding of etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and referrals.

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

Wound Care is a specialty for good reason. In order to manage wounds effectively, it is essential to have the right etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and referrals. During this intensive 3 hour session, Kim Saunders will provide you with the most recent information from research and practice guidelines.-Training opportunity for one day. You will see a rise in patient care when you incorporate the most current best practice standards.

The hands-Sessions simulate clinical competencies that will allow you to address the 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. In this safe learning environment you can ask questions of a national expert on wound care. We guarantee that you will be able to learn a lot more about wound care, including how to assess, document, and treat them.

Three days of intensive learning about the complexities and care of wounds will change the way you care for patients, increase your confidence, and help you to conquer your fears. 

Objective:

1. ABI at the bedside can help you determine arterial insufficiency.
2. Match your wound product with the perfect presentation
3. Based on four questions, you can develop wound dressing order changes.
4. Clinical assessment is used to determine the etiology and cause of a wound.
5. Anticipate your expected work-Up to per wound etiology
6. Demonstrate accurate measurement & documentation of wounds, tunneling, and undermining.
7. Differentiate between product types based on: indications, implementation, and precautions.
8. Determine the type of debridement required for each clinical presentation.
9. Demonstrate compression level/product using ABIs
10. Diabetic ulcers: Systemic assessment is required.
11. Analyze the standard of practice protocols for treating diabetic wounds.
12. Describe the most difficult problems encountered in diabetic feet.
13. Discuss 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 risk factors for neuropathic lupus.

Outline:

Wound Tissue Assessment & Treatment

• Your assessment will help you determine the cause.
• To support healing goals, there are considerations across disciplines
• Attention to bone and tendon exposure
• Tips for the non-healing tunneling/undermining wound
• What could go wrong when you measure wound care?

4-Step Approach to Guide Wound Product Selection

1. Wet vs. Dry
2. Depth vs. flat
3. Antimicrobial concerns?
4. Do you need a barrier to incontinence?

Follow the Guideline Recommendations

• Pressure injuries, shearing
• Friction, MARSI and skin tears
• Venous, arterial, neuropathic
• Surgical wounds
• When is it appropriate to refer a client?
• Documentation strategies to avoid costly mistakes
