2 High mortality and morbidity Complex condition, longterm impact on morbidity and mortality Patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) greater risk premature death, MI and fatal stroke Often potentially preventable initiating event (minor trauma) can often be identified Foot amputation, many of which are preventable with early recognition and therapy, may be required

3 High mortality and morbidity 1 in 10 patients with a DFU will require surgery UK annually 5000 diabetes-related amputations (15X more than for people without diabetes) 72% diabetes-associated amputations are preceded by ulcer Around the world it is estimated that a lower limb is amputated every 20secs due to complications of diabetes National Diabetes Support team 2006 Pecoraro 1999

4 High mortality

5 WHY - Quality of Life

6 Diabetic foot problems are common (but preventable) In UK 5-7% diabetes patients currently have or have had a DFU, but over lifetime 25% risk of development DFU Has been suggested that upto 85% amputations can be avoided if an effective careplan is adopted Pecoraro Diabetes Care 1990

7 High impact upon individual and to NHS In England, foot complications account for 20% of the total NHS spend on diabetes care Equates to approx 650 million per year Having a pressure ulcer increased LOS 4.31days

8 WHY - Cost

19 HOW Foot Screening That HCP should have the skills necessary to: a. identify the presence of sensory neuropathy (loss of ability to feel monofilament, vibration or sharp touch) and/or the abnormal build up of callus b. identify when the arterial supply to the foot is reduced (absent foot pulses, signs of tissue ischaemia, symptoms of intermittent claudication) c. identify deformities or problems of the foot (including bony deformities, dry skin, fungal infection) that may put it at risk d. identify other factors that may put the foot at risk (which may include reduced capacity for self-care, impaired renal function, poor glycaemic control, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease). Putting Feet First: national minimum skills framework: March 2011

24 Foot Screening -Education leaflets

25 Care of people at low current risk of foot ulcers normal sensation, palpable pulses *Risk of ulceration 0.1%, 70% of diabetic population Management Basic foot health education Annual foot screening *The Tayside foot-risk Stratification Scheme (Leese et al 2006, 2007)

26 Care of people at moderate risk of foot ulcers neuropathy or absent pulses or other risk factor *6x risk ulceration than low risk, 20% diabetic population Management Refer to community foot protection team Arrange regular review, 3 6 monthly, by foot protection team *The Tayside foot-risk Stratification Scheme (Leese et al 2006, 2007)

27 Care of people at high risk of foot ulcers neuropathy or absent pulses + deformity or skin changes or previous ulcer *83x risk of ulceration than low risk, 4-8% diabetic population Management Refer to community foot protection team Arrange regular review, 1 3 monthly, by foot protection team *The Tayside foot-risk Stratification Scheme (Leese et al 2006, 2007)

28 Care of people with foot care emergencies and foot ulcers Foot care emergency (new ulceration, swelling, discolouration) *1-4% diabetic population Management refer to multidisciplinary foot care team within 24 hours. *The Tayside foot-risk Stratification Scheme (Leese et al 2006, 2007)

36 Assessing for peripheral neuropathy

37 Monofilament estimation of pressure sensation Place filament at right angle Pressure increased Patient asked if pressure felt Patients insensitive are at increased risk of foot ulcers

38 Assessing for peripheral neuropathy Ipswich touch test Simple bedside test Reproducible Comparable to monofilament

39 Foot review Deformity and integrity of skin Assess for neuropathy Screen for peripheral arterial disease Advice for prophylactic foot care Refer high risk patients

40 Assessing peripheral vascular disease General signs - decrease in skin temperature, thin skin, lack of skin hair, and bluish skin color. Not sensitive nor specific More useful - lower limb pulses and measurement of venous filling time The absence of pedal pulses, the presence of femoral bruits, or prolongation of venous filling should prompt referral for more detailed evaluation Patients with clinical evidence of peripheral vascular disease should have ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) testing

41 Foot review Deformity and integrity of skin Assess for neuropathy Screen for peripheral arterial disease Advice for prophylactic foot care Refer high risk patients

42 Primary prevention Avoid smoking, walking barefoot, the use of heating pads or hot water bottles, and stepping into a bath without checking the temperature Trim toenails to the shape of the toe and file to remove sharp edges Inspect daily, looking between and underneath the toes and at pressure areas for skin breaks, blisters, swelling, or redness Well fitting shoes, cotton socks, customised shoes for misshapen feet, good insoles to reduce pressure Wash daily in lukewarm water with mild soap and pat dry Moisturiser

45 Infected DFU Can be difficult to identify infection Common 56% DFU will become infected 20% infected DFUs will undergo lower limb amputation RFs probe to bone, >30days, recurrent DFUs, trauma, PAD, barefoot walking, renal insufficiency, sensory neuropathy, previous amputation Take cultures/deeps swabs from infected DFUs

46 Infected DFU Edmonds Wound Int Best pract Guidelines 2013

47 Wound classification

48 DFU suspecting osteomyelitis Wounds that are chronic, deep, overly bony prominence at high risk Sausage toe Exposed bone Depth of probe to bone, gritty on probing Xray, MRI Bone biopsy, debridement

49 DFU wound management Treat underlying disease processes Ensure adequate blood supply Local wound care, including infection control Pressure offloading

50 Treat underlying disease processes Treat severe ischaemia Tighten glycaemic control Treat other RFs BP, lipids, smoking Address nutritional deficiencies

51 Ensure adequate blood supply Angioplasty Stent Bypass Enarterectomy

52 Peripheral Arterial Disease Macro/Micro Acute/Chronic Calcification Painful Increased risk of heart attack and stroke

53 Infection Mild Moderate Severe

54 What you take off the wound! Debridement Sharp NPWT Larvae Off-loading TCC rtcc wound shoe felt

55 Neuropathic pain All neuropathic pain (except trigeminal neuralgia) Offer a choice of amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin or pregabalin as initial treatment for neuropathic pain (except trigeminal neuralgia)[3] If the initial treatment is not effective or is not tolerated, offer one of the remaining 3 drugs, and consider switching again if the second and third drugs tried are also not effective or not tolerated Consider tramadol only if acute rescue therapy is needed (see recommendation about long-term use) Consider capsaicin cream[4] for people with localised neuropathic pain who wish to avoid, or who cannot tolerate, oral treatments.
