M. Dolores Farrer, DPM, MBA, CWS®, will explore the critical role of pharmacological treatments in promoting the healing of both acute and chronic wounds. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the various products and therapies used in wound care, as well as the underlying mechanisms that drive the healing process.
Wound care pharmacology encompasses a wide range of treatments designed to manage and treat wounds effectively. These treatments include wound irrigation, antiseptics, topical skin adhesives, hemostasis agents, and specialized therapies for severe burns and diabetic ulcers. Each of these products plays a vital role in preventing infection, promoting clot formation, and facilitating the healing of damaged tissues.
In the context of chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers, pharmacological treatments are particularly crucial. Chronic wounds often have prolonged healing times and are susceptible to infections and microbial biofilm formation. The healing process involves several phases, including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Pharmacological treatments aim to manage these phases effectively by addressing the underlying causes and promoting the natural healing process.
During this session, we will delve into various pharmacological treatments used in chronic wound care. These include antimicrobial agents to prevent and treat infections, growth factors to stimulate cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to promote blood flow and tissue formation. You will have an opportunity to explore emerging treatments such as stem cell therapy, which holds promise for promoting tissue regeneration and repair.
Additionally, use of anti-inflammatory agents will be covered, to reduce prolonged inflammation in chronic wounds and advanced dressings that provide a moist environment, deliver medications, and protect the wound from further injury. By addressing the specific needs of chronic wounds, these pharmacological treatments can significantly improve healing outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
You will gain valuable insight into the field of wound care pharmacology and the knowledge and tools needed to enhance patient outcomes.
