Clinical and Microbiological Outcomes Associated With Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Chronic Venous Leg Uclers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The PRP plus petrolatum gauze did not increase bacteriological growth or the microbial load in chronic venous ulcers compared with petrolatum gauze alone and could be a considered as an advanced treatment option for these types of chronic wounds.

Development and Implementation of a Simple Wound Care Guideline for Minor Skin Lesions: A Quality Improvement Project
PURPOSE: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to use the best available evidence and expert opinion to develop and implement a simple inpatient nursing care guideline (“The Guideline”) for patients with minor skin lesions, including candidiasis, skin tears, incontinence-associated dermatitis, and stage 1 and stage 2 pressure injuries that would not require a WOC nurse consultation. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: The Guideline was developed for nurses working on inpatient adult acute care units in a large community hospital in southwest Minnesota. APPROACH: The Guideline was validated for its...

Association of Systemic or Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti-VEGF) and Impaired Wound Healing in Pediatric Patients: Collagen to the Rescue
CONCLUSION: Use of bevacizumab is increasing in the pediatric population. Clinicians should be aware of compromised wound healing and higher likelihood of wound dehiscence after bevacizumab administration. We recommend waiting for at least 4 to 6 weeks between anti-VEGF administration (either systemic or vitreous) and elective surgical procedures, consistent with adult literature recommendations. If patient has an existing wound, we assert that bevacizumab should not be administered until that wound is healed. If wound healing is stalled, we recommend dermal template as a safe and effective accelerator of wound healing...

Conceptual Framework for Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis Based on Scoping Review and Expert Consensus Process
Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) has been studied over the last decades, but gaps in the knowledge related to its identification, etiological agents, and risk factors remain. We carried out a scoping review about IAD that included systematic reviews, experimental, and observational studies about IAD and its potential risk factors. We retrieved 24 articles that described 100 potential risk factors and which were synthesized by the authors and proposed to a panel of experts. Panelists used a structured process of consensus development to create a conceptual framework of factors associated with IAD. This framework pro...

Simulation Based Educational Intervention for Enhancing Irrigation Skills of Nurses Caring for Patients With Cutaneous Continent Urinary Diversions and Orthotopic Neobladders
CONCLUSIONS: A nurse practitioner-led simulation-based educational program for RNs caring for patients with continent urinary diversions demonstrates enhanced nursing knowledge and confidence caring for patients with continent urinary diversions. We anticipate this experience will enhance care we provided to patients undergoing cystectomy and continent cutaneous urinary diversion or orthotopic neobladder construction.

The Use of Prophylactic Foam Dressings for Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries: A Systematic Review
PURPOSE: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate the use of prophylactic foam dressings for prevention of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). METHODS: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Statement (PRISMA). SEARCH STRATEGY: Four researchers independently conducted searches in Health Source, Cochrane of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, and PubMed. Search terms included: “pressure* OR skin breakdown AND sacrum*”; “ICU patient* OR critical care patient*”; and “foam dressing OR proph...

Cooling Intervention (MUSTCOOL) for Prevention of Lower Extremity Ulcer Recurrence: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: While the incidence of ulcer recurrent was slightly higher in the MUSTCOOL group, this finding was not considered clinically relevant. Overall ulcer recurrence during the 6-month study period was lower than reports in the literature, the time frame in which recurrence rates are highest. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2015 (Identifier: NCT02626156)—https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02626156.
