INTERNIST’S GUIDE TO WOUND CARE
HOW TO PREVENT AMPUTATION, AVOID LITIGATION
WHILE KEEPING YOUR HANDS CLEAN
Thank you Dr Byrns

ADVISORY
• WHILE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ‘TOUCH’ ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WOUNDS
YOU DO HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM
And make sure you have
a resident/medical
student/nurse/colleague
who WILL at least
dress/undress the wound

TMT
• 1) IV ANTB; broad spectrum ->targeted
• BG management
• 2) COMPRESSION
• 3) DEBRIDE
• 4) WOUND CARE; • DRESSINGS: drainage management, topical antimicrobial
• d/c 1/2/19 -> SNF
• RTC 1/8/19

VENOUS LEG DISEASE
• >80 million americans suffer from vein disease
• VLU care costs an estimated $3 billion annually
• Eberhardt RT, Raffetto JD. Chronic venous insufficiency. Circulation. 2014;130(4):333–46.

Post-Thrombotic Syndrome
• One of every three patients with DVT in lower extremities or pelvic area will develop post-thrombotic sequelae within 5 years
• PTS is one of most common causes of chronic venous insufficiency

BIG FAT RED LEGS
•PEARLS • Stasis dermatitis vs cellulitis
• RARELY is cellulitis symmetrical and/or bilateral
• OK to do short duration antb if you are unsure
• Stasis Dermatitis = topical steroid BID + COMPRESSION

TRUE or FALSE
UNNA’S BOOTS are a good method of

•FALSE
• UNNA BOOTS ARE ONLY EFFECTIVE IN PATIENTS WHO AMBULATE
• Not for wheelchair bound or supine patients
• Relies on calf muscle to effect circulation

When not to compress?
• When you haven’t checked/documented pulses
• When you have ABI < 0.45
• Uncontrolled CHF

Diabetic Foot Complications
• 17 SECONDS Diabetes is diagnosed once every 17 seconds in the world
• 70% The number of lower extremity amputations in the world are associated with diabetes
• 20 seconds somewhere in the world, a lower extremity is amputated in a patient with diabetes
• EVERY 20 SECONDS!!
• Increased Mortality rate • 1 yr 15%
• 5 yrs 50%
• 10 yrs 70%

DIABETES CARE january 2019
Resurgence of Diabetes-Related Nontraumatic Lower-Extremity Amputation in the Young and Middle-Aged Adult U.S. Population Linda S. Geiss, Yanfeng Li, Israel Hora, Ann Albright, Deborah Rolka and Edward W. Gregg⇑
• OBJECTIVE To determine whether declining trends in lower-extremity amputations have continued into the current decade.
• RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS • Utilized Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) on NLEA procedures and from
the National Health Interview Survey for estimates of the populations with and without diabetes.
• CONCLUSIONS After a two-decade decline in lower-extremity amputations, the U.S. may now be experiencing a reversal in the progress, particularly in young and middle-aged adults.
![Page 72: INTERNIST’S GUIDE TO WOUND CARE · Angiogram •Tibioperoneal Trunk- Tandem severe stenoses •Anterior tibial- Patent only proximally, then occluded for entire length. •Posterior](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071212/6027bb5ea48d0b7fca0b140e/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
RESULTS
• 2000-2009 NLEA rates/1,000 adults with DM decreased 43% (P < 0.001)
• 2009-2015 Rebounded by 50% (P < 0.001).
• MINOR/MAJOR AMPUTATION RATE
• 62% increase in minor amputations
• 29% increase in major amputations
• The increases in rates of total, major, and minor amputations were most pronounced in young (age 18–44 years) and middle-aged (age 45–64 years) adults
• men > women.

THEORIES
• Low hanging fruit; maximizing medical management in older adults
• Disparity of income equality, race/ethnicity, geographic location
• 2008 lingering impact
• Increase minor amputation represents change in clinical decision making?
• Early prevention practices may not be optimized
• Decline in mortality rates may be increasing levels of multimorbidity

A history of smoking, although not shown to be an independent risk factor for lower extremity amputation, clearly raises the risk level for other morbid
vascular complications such as peripheral vascular disease, stroke and MI and as such aggressive smoking cessation counseling is recommended.

LAWSUITS
• 2009 University of Michigan retrospective study on pressure ulcer litigation.
• FINDINGS; 67% of lawsuits regarding pressure injuries/ulcers did not involve a medical error or omission, and yet nursing homes are being fined, and criminal charges are being filed against nurses, physicians, and even nursing home operators.3

suspected Deep Tissue Injury *sDTI
NPUAP definition of Suspected Deep Tissue Injury: Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure
Tissue may be firm or boggy, warmer or cooler when compared to adjacent tissue
Evolution may be rapid, exposing additional layers of tissue even with optimal treatment

• If it’s wet dry* it!
• If it’s dry wet* it!
• If it’s dead remove it (or have someone else do so)
• If you are treating infection systemically, • treat it topically
