TIME CONCEPT AND LOCAL WOUND MANAGEMENT B. BRAUN WOUND CARE
INTRODUCTION: TIME is a global care framework used to implement appropriate care plans and promote wound healing Tissue Management Inflammation and Infection Control Moisture Balance Epithelial (edge) Advancement TIME The TIME framework can be used to apply wound bed preparation to practice The correct implementation of TIME depends on patient and wound assessment TIME is not a sequential process, every wound is different; simultaneous attention to one or more of the components may be required
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DRESSING 1 2 Assess the patient Holistic approach: Essential for planning the appropriate therapeutic management of the patient and his/her chronic wound. a. Nutritional Status Glycaemia control in patients with DFU Cachexia, obesity b. Treatment of the primary disease Revascularisation in case of arterial disease Compression therapy in venous ulcer Off-loading in DFU and PU c. Social environmental factors Assess the wound Use TIME* framework : A practical tool for qualifing the wound and implementing a plan of care to promote wound healing. Evaluate: Wound location Depth/size Amount and type of exudate Predominant tissue type on the wound surface Periwound skin condition Wound bioburden and risk of infection * Falanga, 2011 Assess the effectiveness of treatment Evaluate: Full debridment Granulation tissue Wound edges progression Absence of infection Pain level Confort 4 Assess the dressing Check the following criteria: Does the dressing: Stay intact and remain in place during wear time? Prevent leakage and maceration? Reduce pain / odour? Is the dressing: Comfortable, flexible? Easy to apply and to remove? Cost effective? 3 B.

TISSUE MANAGEMENT Clinical observations Necrotic tissue and biofilms prevent the healing to start and create an environment favouring bacterial multiplication. Necrotic tissue Calus Slough, presence of biofilm Treatment objectives Eliminate devitalised tissues Eliminate biofilms and decrease the bacterial load Decrease the wound s metabolic charge Facilitate healing by accelerating the proliferative and remodelling phases Uncover potential exudate collections or abscesses Allow to evaluate the correct wound size Control abnormal odour Decrease patient s psychological stress Osmotic Hyperosmolar solutions Biologic Maggots Surgical Bistouri at the OR Methods of debridment Sharp Scalpel, progressive at the patient s bed Autolytic Natural, requires moisture Expected outcome Wound bed without necrosis, slough, and/or biofilms Mechanical Hydrojet Enzymatic Exogenous enzymes Chronic wounds generally require repeated debridement; different methods can be combined or used in sequential or alternate ways B.

INFLAMMATION AND INFECTION Infected Perineal Wound Infected PU Sacrum Infected venous ulcer Infected DFU Clinical observations High bacterial load, biofilms, persistent inflammation: > 10 6 bacteria per gram of tissue Inflammatory Cytokines Activated Proteases G + (Aerobes) Relationship between bacterial progression, biofilm formation and host resistance Adhesion Contamination (host control) Treatment Eliminate the focus of infection Use of systemic antibiotics Use of anti-inflammatory drugs Local use of topical antimicrobials Local use of protease modulators Expected outcome G + G - (Aerobes) G + G - Aerobes Anaerobes Yeasts Exopolymeric Substances Progression & Accumulation CLIMAX COMMUNITY (Synergy, Quorum Sensing) Colonisation (established microbial population, host control, microbial balance) Critical Colonisation (established microbial population, wound not progressing, microbial imbalance, no sign of infection) Host Resistance Topical Antiseptic Agents Micro-organism (load x virulence) Bacterial equilibrium Control of the inflammatory response Viable wound bed Detachment & Dissemination Infection (microbial control) Systemic Antibiotics & Topical Antiseptic Agents Percival & Bowler, 2004 B. Braun products Clinical Benefits Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution Prontosan Wound Gel/Gel X Cleansing and moistening solution and gel Reduces the biofilm burden (2) Reduces inflammatory signs (1) Improves patient outcomes, including time to heal (1,2) For the prevention of biofilm formation (2) Askina Calgitrol Paste / Ag / THIN Silver alginate wound paste and dressings Immediate availability of silver ions (3) Sustained controlled release to the wound bed during use of the dressing (3) Tolerable and antimicrobially efficient (4) Easy to use & conformable (5) Askina Carbosorb Charcoal dressing Absorbs wound bacteria and malodourous substances For all types of malodorous wounds To be used as a secondary dressing
MOISTURE BALANCE DFU Necrosis Hyperkeratose maceration Sacrum Venous ulcer Dries the wound Delays epithelial migration Clinical observations Lack of humidity Clinical observations Excess of humidity Periwound skin maceration Breakdown of necrotic tissue Bacterial load increase Treatment Use of dressings providing and/or keeping humidity Treatment Use dressings that absorb and retain the exudate Compression if needed Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Moisture Balance Normal Epithelial migration Expected outcome Dryness avoided Normal Periwound skin Viable wound bed B.
