1 Case Wounds Mark H. Meissner, MD University of Washington School of Medicine 65 yr old male physician Recurrent R medial malleolar ulcer over 5 years New R lateral malleolar ulcer Intermittently wearing stockings Past history 5 R knee reconstructions History of DVT treated with thrombolysis (1997) Multiple previous superficial venous procedures Endovenous laser ablation R GSV Multiple round of tributary & perforator foam sclerotherapy Exam 6 7 cm patch venous eczema R medial malleolus Lateral malleolar ulcer 1+ pretibial edema, No superficial varicosities Fundamentals of Ulcer Care Compression, compression, compression. Debridement Maintain a moist environment Primary wound dressings Secondary wound dressings Exclude correctable pathology Superficial reflux Proximal obstruction Compression and Ulcer Healing Cullum NA, Cochrane Reviews 2001 Compression (# healed) No Compression (# healed) Relative Risk (95% CI) Charles 19/27 6/ ( ) Eriksson 9/17 7/ ( ) Kitka 21/30 15/ ( ) Rubin 18/19 7/ ( ) Sikes 17/21 15/ ( ) Taylor 12/18 4/ ( )

4 What Is a Critical Venous Stenosis? Raju S, J Vasc Surg: Venous and Lym Dis 2014 Arterial concepts of critical stenosis do not apply Arterial Reduction if downstream pressure / flow Venous Elevation of upstream pressure Complex determinants of upstream venous pressure Inflow volume (rest vs exercise) Starling (intra-abdominal) pressures Outflow (left atrial) pressure Degree of stenosis What Is a Critical Venous Stenosis? Raju S, J Vasc Surg: Venous and Lym Dis 2014 Upstream pressure is determined by the dominant component (components are not additive) Effect of Intra-Abdominal Pressure 20 X 18 Wall Stent 4

5 Follow-Up Importance of compression emphasized Wound care returned to local vein doctor All ulcers healed at 8 weeks Conclusions Dressings account for only 13 25% of costs Cost effectiveness = The fewest nursing resources Rapid ulcer healing Infrequent dressing changes BUT Few clinical differences between dressings Semi-occlusive dressing Antimicrobial dressings Advanced wound care matrices Higher rates of wound healing (NNT 2 6) Higher costs Conclusions Strict trial entry criteria may not be generalizeable Patients with specific wound characteristics might benefit from specific dressings Ulcer size Degree of exudate Drainage Chronicity Most cost effective dressing MAY vary between pts The best approach is the one that minimizes the total number of dressing changes in the individual patient 5
