CERTIFICATION EXAM OR RECERTIFICATION ELIGIBILITY After submitting your course registration, you will need to complete an application with your credentialing board. Application and any exam fees due must be submitted promptly to give your credentialing board sufficient time to review and verify eligibility. 3 TYPES OF WOUND CLOSURE: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY Don Wollheim, MD, FAPWCA, WCC, DWC, is board certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery. He has 25+ years of experience in general/vascular surgery and wound care, as well as extensive experience in medical-legal consulting FUNGAL WOUND INFECTIONS: IDENTIFICATION, TREATMENT, AND Some Effective Treatments for Fungal Wounds. The therapy and treatment provided to each wound depends on the type of infection, patient, and organism involved, Humphries said. “Generally, excision therapy is the most effective treatment,” she said. “Therapy may also include amphotericin B or azole antifungal agents.”. WOUND TEMPERATURE AND HEALING The cells and enzymes of the body function best at normal temperature, around 37° C (98.6° F). When wound temperature decreases by as little as 2° C, healing can slow or even cease. In short, when the temperature drops, the healing stops. Furthermore, cooled tissues cause vasoconstriction and increase hemoglobin’s need for oxygen. SOME HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PRESSURE INJURIES ARE UNAVOIDABLE The study, titled “Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries in Critical and Progressive Care: Avoidable Versus Unavoidable, ” was published in the September 2019 issue of the American Journal of Critical Care. The study included 165 adult critical care and progressive care patients in six Indiana University Health hospitals.

HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT WOUNDS IN SKIN FOLDS Wounds in skin folds can be a challenge to prevent and, once present, involve ongoing surveillance and care. Donald Wollheim, MD, FAPWCA, WCC, DWC, a board-certified surgeon of the American Board of Surgery, shared his insight on best practices for preventing and treating wounds in skin folds if they develop. 10 MOST COMMON OSTOMY PATIENT QUESTIONS A stoma is a bright red, shiny bit of intestine that protrudes slightly out of the abdomen and diverts output (urine or stool) into an external pouch. The size of the stoma can vary depending on the ostomy type. Urostomies tend to be smaller than ileostomies or colostomies, and several other factors can affect the size as well. HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE STASIS DERMATITIS FROM CELLULITIS By contrast, cellulitis is a non-necrotizing inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, typically from acute infection after a break in the skin. The sudden onset is marked by signs of erythema — which increases as infection spreads — warmth, pain and swelling. The borders of the involved area are not sharply demarcated or elevated.

CERTIFICATION EXAM OR RECERTIFICATION ELIGIBILITY After submitting your course registration, you will need to complete an application with your credentialing board. Application and any exam fees due must be submitted promptly to give your credentialing board sufficient time to review and verify eligibility. 3 TYPES OF WOUND CLOSURE: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY Don Wollheim, MD, FAPWCA, WCC, DWC, is board certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery. He has 25+ years of experience in general/vascular surgery and wound care, as well as extensive experience in medical-legal consulting FUNGAL WOUND INFECTIONS: IDENTIFICATION, TREATMENT, AND Some Effective Treatments for Fungal Wounds. The therapy and treatment provided to each wound depends on the type of infection, patient, and organism involved, Humphries said. “Generally, excision therapy is the most effective treatment,” she said. “Therapy may also include amphotericin B or azole antifungal agents.”. WOUND TEMPERATURE AND HEALING The cells and enzymes of the body function best at normal temperature, around 37° C (98.6° F). When wound temperature decreases by as little as 2° C, healing can slow or even cease. In short, when the temperature drops, the healing stops. Furthermore, cooled tissues cause vasoconstriction and increase hemoglobin’s need for oxygen. SOME HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PRESSURE INJURIES ARE UNAVOIDABLE The study, titled “Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries in Critical and Progressive Care: Avoidable Versus Unavoidable, ” was published in the September 2019 issue of the American Journal of Critical Care. The study included 165 adult critical care and progressive care patients in six Indiana University Health hospitals.
