A ‘step-down’ approach to exudate management: dressing selection criteria
Can a step-down approach in exudate management and dressing selection lead to a step up in patient healing?
Webinaret er på engelsk.
Prof José Luis Lázaro Martínez discusses this question and the importance of selecting dressings that suit the needs of the specific patient as they move through their individual patient journey in this Meet the Expert webinar.
Some points explored during and takeaways from the webinar include:
- Gaining an understanding of how exudate levels drive dressing selection
- Being able to identify which type of dressing is most suitable based on where the patient is in their wound healing journey
- Recognising the cost effectiveness of reassessing a wound at every dressing change
Professor Lázaro will look at these points and wrap up by answering questions during a live Q&A session following the webinar.
