Objectives
• Identify Partial and Full Thickness Wounds• List 2 Barriers to Wound Healing• Identify Pressure Ulcer Stages• Identify Measures to Reduce Pressure Ulcers• Verbalize mechanism of VAC• Identify indications/contraindications for
VAC• Demonstrate VAC application

Would Healing
• Hemostasis – within 60 minutes• Inflammation- 20 minutes –4 days• Proliferation- 3-21 days • Remodeling- 21 days –2 years

Partial Versus Full Thickness
• Partial thickness wound
• Wound does not extend through the dermis
• Heals by regeneration
• Re-epithelization
![Page 7: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Partial Versus Full Thickness
• Full thickness wound
• Wound extends through the dermis may extend to an organ, tendon, muscle bone
• Heals by contracting and scar tissue

Full Thickness

What is a Pressure Ulcer?
•Localized injury to skin and or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence due to unrelieved pressure
•Can occur under a splint or cast
•3 most common locations sacrum, heels, and trochanter
![Page 12: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To Stage or Not to Stage a Wound?
• Pressure ulcer staging is only to describe wounds that develop from pressure
• Pressure ulcer staging is not used to describe wounds from other causes such as skin tears, tape burns, diabetic foot, venous ulcer, or incontinence
![Page 14: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What are the pressure ulcer stages?
• Suspected Deep Tissue Injury• Stage 1• Stage 2• Stage 3• Stage 4• Unstageable
![Page 15: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Suspected Deep Tissue Injury
• Purple or maroon area of discolored skin or blood filled blister
• Maybe painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent side
• The wound may further evolve into full thickness tissue loss
![Page 16: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Stage 1
• Intact skin with nonblanching redness
• Maybe difficult to detect in patients with darker pigment
• Maybe painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue
![Page 17: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stage 2
• Partial thickness skin loss of dermis
• Presents as a
shallow open wound with pink or red tissue
• Can also be a serum filled blister
![Page 18: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stage 3• Full thickness
skin loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible
• Slough may be present but does obscure base of wound
• Depth varies by anatomical location
![Page 19: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stage 4
• Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, muscle or tendon
• Depth varies depending on anatomical location
![Page 20: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Unstageable
• Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the wound is covered by slough or eschar.
• Until enough slough or eschar is removed true depth cannot be determined
![Page 21: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Measures to Reduce Pressure Ulcers
• Nutrition• Moisture Management• Specialty beds• Chair cushions• Repositioning• Determine risk- Braden Scale
![Page 22: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
VAC Mechanism of Action
• Maintains moist environment
• Removes exudate
• Promote granulation
• Promote perfusion
• Reduce edema
![Page 23: The 411 on wound care](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051015/554b21f9b4c90562098b559a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Indication/Contraindications VAC
• Indications• Dehisced wound• Pressure Ulcers• Open Abdominal
wounds• Traumatic wounds• Diabetic wounds• Skin grafts
•Contraindications
•Malignancy in wound
•Untreated Osteomyelitis
•Necrotic tissue
•Directly over vessels
•Active Bleeding
