The Yin and Yang of pre-operative screening for meticillin resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA): Does the extra effort and cost of suppression reduce surgical site infections?

Charles E. Edmiston, David Leaper, Martin Kiernan

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 7-12

The inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics, together with the demographic changes of an ageing population, chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, increased patient contact with healthcare facilities, high bed occupancy rates and the increase in surgical procedures, have all contributed to the rise in prevalence of Healthcare Associated Infections. These are attributable to selection and...

Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI): A new concept to characterize persistent patient burden in chronic wounds

Matthias Augustin, Anke Mayer, Lisa M. Goepel, Katrin Baade, more

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 2-6

Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI) is a theoretical construct referring to the non-reversible burden of a chronic skin disease over time. In some patients and situations, this burden may lead to chronic impairment and missed opportunities and, finally, persisting psychosocial and personal damage.Chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, diabetic or ischemic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers are a heterogeneous...

Importance and consequences for wound management

Michael Schmitz

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 37-40

The management of patients with chronic wounds is a great and demanding challenge. Several and partly contradictory approaches, different treatments and unmanageable amount of dressings lead in confusion and uncertainty. A concerted recommendation is essential to improve the patient centred care and the use of health care system resources.With these leading points as background the DGfW (Deutsche...

How a targeted reduction in spend on wound care dressings was achieved without compromising quality of care and outcomes?

Paul Jhass, Sara Kray, Helen Hatter, Thomas Wild

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 33-36

It was the aim of this study to investigate whether targeted wound dressings education and training could deliver the objectives of the quality, innovation productivity and prevention (QIPP) agenda, compared to simply having a strictly controlled products list. The programme, which was aimed at 3500 community nurses, covering a population of 1.2m treating in the region of around 45,000 wounds per...

Professionalization of nursing responsibilities in wound management by academization: From an accompanying nursing to evidence-based healing-related activities

Friederike Rösner

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 25-32

In this article we want to point out why more and more people in Germany suffer from chronic wounds and what causes may underlie. Furthermore, the different levels of care in wound management and its spillover in trans-sectoral, interprofessional and interdisciplinary form will be described and the typical, inherent problems of the different partners in wound management in Germany will be mentioned...

Juggling risk to reduce amputations: The three-ring circus of infection, ischemia and tissue loss-dominant conditions

David G. Armstrong, Joseph L. Mills

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 13-14

Wound classification systems have evolved from linear systems describing only one factor to more matrix-oriented, allowing wider clinical applicability. We suggest that, in a similar fashion to wound classification, a flexible long-term management philosophy should be dynamic and conceptually inclusive. We visualize amputation prevention as the management of three partially intersecting rings whose...

Antimicrobial activity of wound antiseptics against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-producing bacteria

Peter Goroncy-Bermes, Florian H.H. Brill, Holger Brill

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 41-43

It was the aim of this study to investigate whether Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are displaying greater resistance to the active ingredients octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT), chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) and polyhexamethylen biguanide (PHMB) compared to type strains usually tested in laboratories and are therefore...

Proposal for assessment of the antimicrobial efficacy of undiluted medical honey: Using a standardized phase 2/step 2 in vitro stainless steel disc carrier test model

Anna-Maria Goerdt, Ojan Assadian, Behzad Razavi, Dorothee Igelbrink-Holter, more

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 20-24

The antimicrobial efficacy of medical honeys used for professional wound care was published previously. So far, all in vitro antimicrobial tests performed have been conducted using non-standardized methods and used diluted medical honey. A standardized, reproducible phase 2/step 2 in vitro disc carrier model is proposed allowing testing the antimicrobial efficacy of undiluted medical honey.Using a...

Wet-to-dry phase 2.0

G. Kammerlander, T. Eberlein, A. Lantin, G. Luch, more

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 15-19

The wet-to-dry phase as a basic accompanying measure in dressing changes on secondary healing wounds was first described and instructed 1989 by G. Kammerlander at the university hospital of Zurich. This development traces back to collective years of practical experiences at the Clinic of dermatology of the university hospital Zurich (Prof. U.W. Schnyder/G. Kammerlander). The positive empirical experiences...

Wound bed preparation: The impact of debridement and wound cleansing

Lars-Peter Kamolz, Thomas Wild

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 1 > Complete > 44-50

Wound healing is a complex series of events that are interlinked and dependent on one another. Acute wounds usually follow a well-defined process. In the past this model of healing has been applied also to chronic wounds, but it is well known that chronic wound healing is different from acute wound healing. Wound bed preparation as a concept allows the clinician to focus systematically on all of the...

The concept and proposed definition of “wound simplification”

Joseph L. Mills, David G. Armstrong

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 2-3 > Complete > 9-10

Although an axiom of wound care is to achieve speedy, durable healing, there exists a small, but persistent, subset of patients for whom a more practical and achievable goal might not necessarily be to heal the wound, but rather to prevent its escalation. Similarly, there are patients with very large or complex wounds that may take months or even years to completely heal or may recur despite robust...

Tissue expansion for plantar defect closure. Cadaveric model and case report

A.V. Sachkov, S.V. Smirnov, M.V. Shakhlamov

Wound Medicine > 2013 > 2-3 > Complete > 1-2

Defects of the foot and heel is a difficult surgical and rehabilitation problem. Lack of soft tissues, exceptional burden of the foot require the surgeon not only to restore the skin, but also to create the “pillow” for the use of the foot without any limitations. No other tissue is better than original skin of the foot. So the best way to reconstruction – to use the skin of the foot. What can we...
