OutlineMedical HistorySocial HistoryPatient AssessmentLower Limb AssessmentFactor affecting healing and goals settingProgress of the wound and reviewing goalsWhat I learnt from this case
Medical HistoryMario*: 65 year old manCoronary artery disease
Bisoprolol, Frusid, AstrixCoronary Artery Bypass Graft (August 2010)Depression
EndepHypertension, Hyperlidaemia
Coversyl, LiptorType 2 Diabetes (10 year duration)
HbA1C 8.1%Diabex
Other
Psychosocial environmentLow moodHome supports
Retired, lives with supportive wifeAccess to services
Metro area, close to hospitalCommunity Bus
Patient AssessmentMobilityNutritionPain
4/10 VAS in wound, intermittent, backgroundSevere right calf pain when walking +30 seconds
Wound History3 week durationDuring hospital stay post CABG surgery“Clear gel” dressing in situ
Lower limb assessment:Peripheral ArterialIntermittent claudication at 10 metres
Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire (Leng, 1992)
Pedal pulsesRight – Absent Left – Normal
Audible dopplerRight – Monophasic with faint volume
Ankle Brachial IndexRight – 0.59 Left – 0.94
Toe pressureRight – 20mmHg Left – 100mmHg
Conclusion: Severe peripheral arterial disease (International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 2011; Marston et al. 2005; Norgren et al., 2007)
Lower limb assessmentPeripheral neurological

FootwearLace up runners
Factors affecting healing and goal settingSignificant factors affecting healing Goals of therapy
Pressure Reduce heel pressure
Peripheral Arterial Disease Improve peripheral blood flow
Hyperglycaemia Optimise glycaemic management
Local wound conditions Appropriate local wound care
Other Factors to Consider
Wound pain
Nutrition
Psychosocial aspects
Infection?
Assessment and management of other co-morbidities
Factor affecting healing Goals of therapy Intervention
Heel pressure Offload heel in line with best practice standards

Factor affecting healing Goals of therapy Intervention
Peripheral arterial disease Improve blood flow Vascular SurgeryRevascularisation
(Marston et al. 2005; Norgren et al., 2007)
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Factor affecting healing Goals of therapy Intervention
Hyperglycaemia Optimise glycaemic management
Diabetes Educator
(Colagiuri, Girgis, Eigenmann, Gomex, & Griffits, 2009; UK Prospective Diabetes Study Group, 1998)
Hyperglycaemia
Other Factors to ConsiderNutrition (Brown & Phillips, 2010)
Wound pain (Cole-King & Harding, 2001; Solowiej, Mason, & Upton, 2009, WHO 1990)
Psychosocial impact (Finestone, Alfeeli, & Fisher, 2008; Vileikyte, Rubin, & Leventhal, 2004)
Monitor contral-lateral side, risk of other pressure injurys (IDF, 2011; NPUAP, 2009)
Management of other co-morbidities (Nogren, et al. 2007)
Infection? (Lipsky, 2004)
Wound bed conditions Classification
Tissue 95% dry necrotic5% sloughy
Unstageable pressure injury with significant ischaemia
Infection No obvious signs
Moisture Minimal exudateBoggy feel underlying necrosis
Edges Not undermining
Pain 4/10 VAS
Goals of therapy Intervention
Prevent deterioration and wet gangreneImprove peri wound
Betadine and Allevyn dressingDaily moisturiser to surrounding skin
(European Wound Management Association (EWMA), 2004
Wound bed conditions Classification
Tissue 100% necrotic
Unstageable pressure injury with adequate arterial perfusion for healing
Infection No obvious signs
Moisture Minimal exudateBoggy feel underlying necrosis
Edges Not undermining, dry peri wound
Pain Minimal 1-2/10
Goals of therapy Intervention
Remove devitalised tissueMoist wound healing
Intrasite and Allevyn
(EWMA, 2004; NPUAP, 2009; Schultz et al., 2003; Sussman, 2007)
What’s New?
Has had revascularisation and has good arterial potential for wound healing now with palpable pedal pulses and a toe pressure of 110mmHg
Wound bed conditions Classification
Tissue 100% tenacious slough
Unstageable pressure injuryInfection No obvious signs
Moisture Minimal exudate
Edges Epithelising
Pain Minimal
Goals of therapy Intervention
Debride slough Iodosorb Paste, Allevyn
(EWMA, 2005; NPUAP, 2009, Ohtani, Mizuashi, Ito, & Aiba, 2007, Schultz et al. 2003)
Wound bed conditions Classification
Tissue 100% granulation tissue
Stage 3 pressure injuryInfection No obvious signs
Moisture Minimal exudate
Edges Dry
Pain Minimal
Goals of therapy Intervention
Encourage granulation, epithelisationProtect peri wound
Aquacel, Allevyn
(EWMA, 2004; NPUAP, 2009; Schultz et al., 2003; Sussman, 2007)
Wound bed conditions
Healed, fragile epithelial tissue
Goals of therapy Intervention
Improve skin integrityPrevent injury recurrence
Daily emollientEducation, regular Podiatry follow up
