At the first sign of an infection antibiotics should be taken. All pressure relieving devices work. Effective wound healing protocols can be written. Specialty beds are required when a person has multiple ulcers. Whirlpools help heal granulating ulcers.
Whirlpools are appropriate for treating a person with venous insufficiency.
Necrosing wounds should be left to autolytically debride or auto amputate. Reimbursement guidelines for wound treatments are appropriate. Reimbursement guidelines are non-discriminatory against the person suffering from a pressure ulcer. We can't afford appropriate pressure relieving devices in our facility. Doctor's don't listen to my suggestions regarding wound care.
