About Lecture

This lecture is about understanding the interplay between clinical challenges and pragmatic solutions. Pressure ulcers are highly prevalent among the elderly, particularly in nursing homes and home care settings, creating unique clinical demands and opportunities for medical providers. Mobile wound care addresses these challenges by facilitating timely, specialized interventions directly at the point of care. Attendees will explore how integrating mobile wound care services optimizes patient outcomes, enhances provider effectiveness, and aligns with sound business practices.

About Lecture

The use of topical oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has long been a controversial and assumed ineffective modality. The speaker will relate his experience during the Covid-19 pandemic which necessitated the use of topical oxygen therapy when traditional (respiratory) hyperbaric oxygen therapy was unavailable. In addition to case presentations; the current scientific evidence for topical oxygen therapy ; it's effectiveness and guidelines for it's utilization will be presented.
