New Perspectives in Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Patricia Burns, RN, MSN, CWOCN
(Room 29 A&B) 125 Max
Title: New Perspectives in Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been widely used over the past 30 years, with documented success going back to ancient times. Many clinicians have reported dramatic improvements in wound healing with NPWT, with granulation tissue appearing up to 3 times faster compared to other treatments. NPWT has been seen as a valuable addition to the advanced wound management therapies available for patients with acute and wounds. The clinical benefits of NPWT are believed to be attributed to increasing localized blood flow, decreasing the bacterial colonization, increasing the rate of granulation tissue formation, contraction and epithelialization. Yet despite the wide spread adoption of NPWT in both acute and chronic wounds, there remains many unanswered questions:
· When should NPWT be utilized?
· What is the current understanding of the mechanisms of action?
· When is it clinically appropriate to discontinue NPWT?
· What are the patient centered concerns when receiving NPWT?
· What are the barriers to utilizing NPWT?
This interactive symposium will utilize an audience participation system to provide each attendee the opportunity to contribute to developing a foundation for moving forward with NPWT in wound care.

HEAD over Heels and Butts: Best Practices for Preventing Heel Ulcers and Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD)
Mikel Gray, PhD, CUNP, CCCN, FAAN; Evonne Fowler, RN, CSN, WOCN
(Room 29 A&B) – 125 Max
Title: HEAD over Heels and Butts; Best Practices for Preventing Heel Ulcers and Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD)
Tentative Abstract:
Two of the most common conditions seen in caring for the geriatric patient in acute care hospital are incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD) and pressure ulcers. One third of pressure ulcers develop on the heels. Pressure ulcers have been deemed a preventable adverse condition by CMS and will no longer be reimbursable under CMS guidelines. IADD causes discomfort and potential for the development of full thickness wounds. Both conditions are high volume, high costs and resource intensive. By establishing a program for prevention, early identification, and early intervention of theses conditions, we can decrease the hospital acquired pressure ulcers and provide the quality of care the patient deserves.

Evolution of T.I.M.E.: Managing the Therapeutic and Economic Impact of Wounds with Integrated Solutions.
Paula Kotz, RN., CWOCN; David Brett, MS, BS
(Room 29 A&B) 125 Max
Abstract:
The T.I.M.E. principles of wound bed preparation have become a well-recognized model for wound management that seeks to maximize the benefits of today’s advanced wound care practice. Wound healing does not occur in a linear fashion, and depending on the type of the wound, multiple components of T.I.M.E. may need to be addressed simultaneously rather than sequentially. Clinicians must often manage multiple barriers at once. This session will discuss products, technologies and therapies designed to address multiple barriers to healing.
