•DEFINITION
•FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO WOUND DEVELOPMENT
•WOUND HEALING PROCESS
•TYPES OF WOUND IN PRIMARY CARE
•SHARING EXPERIENCE
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO WOUND
• Impaired circulation: • Ischemia or stasis.
• Ischemia : Reduced blood supply due to the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels
• Stasis : immobilization for long periods or failure of the regulating valves in the veins
• Neuropathy:
•This is seen mostly in cases of prolonged uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
• Medical illness: •such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arthrosclerosis, diabetes mellitus,
•AIDS, malignancy, morbid obesity, hepatitis C virus, etc.)
•medical illnesses can lead to impairment of the immune system functions, diminishing the circulation
and damaging other organs and systems.
DIABETIC WOUNDS
• External
• Skin Cuts
• Burns
• Bumps
• Bruises
• Internal
• Ulcers
• Ingrowing toenails
• calluses
DIABETIC FOOT ULCER
Approximately 15-20% of the estimated 16 million
persons in the US with Diabetes Mellitus will be
hospitalized with a foot complication at some
time during the course of their disease
It has been estimated that every 20 seconds a lower limb
is amputated due to complications of diabetes
WHERE ARE WE?
NHMS 2015
“Prevalence of diabetes in Malaysia had increase a relative 15%”
15.2% in 2011, 17.5% in 2015
“every one DIANGNOSED DM , there is one UNDIAGNOSED”
WHERE ARE WE?
Major limb amputations in Seremban Hospital: a review of 204 cases from 1997-1999.
Medical Journal Of Malaysia;2001
“Non traumatic amputations constitute 85.8% of the cases mainly due
to diabetic ulcers or gangrene (91%)
followed by peripheral vascular disease (7%) and malignancy (2%).”
“the primary goal of wound care is not the
technical repair of the wound;
it is providing optimal conditions
for the natural reparative processes
of the wound to proceed”
– Richard L. Lammers (Roberts and Hedges)
FACTORS AFFECTING WOUND HEALING
• Extrinsic Factors • Mechanical stress
• Debris
• Temperature
• Desiccation and maceration
• Infection
• Chemical stress
• Medications
• Other factors such as alcohol abuse, smoking, and radiation therapy
FACTORS AFFECTING WOUND HEALING
• Intrinsic Factors • Health status
• Age factors
• Body build
• Nutritional status
IDEAL WOUND DRESSING
• GENERAL
• Easy to apply and maintain
• Aesthetically pleasing
• Cost permissive
• Easily stored
• Non allergenic
• Facilitate healing
• Maintain moist environment
• Minimize trauma/maceration
• Retention of heat
• Facilitate gas exchange
• Minimize risk of infection
• Debride necrotic tissue
• Absorb exudate
• Minimize external contamination
• Remove excess exudate
• Waterproof
• Maintain moist wound healing environment
• Trauma protection
• Allows gaseous exchange if appropriate
• Non adherent
• Provide barrier to pathogens
• Safe and easy to use
• Provide thermal insulation
