Follow on Google News | Dates for Wound Care Certification Program AnnouncedBy: Los Angeles Convention Center Friday, August 26 from 7 am - 5 pm Saturday, August 27 from 8 am - 5 pm Sunday, August 28 from 8 am - 5 pm "The growing problem of pressure injuries is especially challenging for nursing homes that have had to send their residents to specialty clinics and hospitals for treatment," said Bardia Anvar, M.D., founder of Skilled Wound Care and the College of Long Term Care. "This is especially costly when you factor in ambulance transportation, lifting and moving patients in delicate health, admittance to the hospital and surgical care. Also, the simple act of transporting patients can lead to the onset of additional pressure injuries. By teaching staff how to prevent them and identify them at the earliest stages, we can reverse these troubling statistics." The courses sponsored by the College of Long Term Care will reveal these basic facts about caring for wounds: · Avoid excess baths (should only bathe for 3-5 minutes 2-3 times per week) · Keep water temperature lukewarm – not hot · Add bath oil · Do not use most soap products as they contain detergent (Dove is the exception) · Do not use washcloths · Pat dry · Apply moisturizer immediately after bathing and reapply 4 times each day · Stay well hydrated · Avoid caffeine, spices and alcohol To enroll or for more information, call (866) WOUND-80 or visit http://www.skilledwoundcare.com/ End
