212 HBOT Track—Wounded Warriors: Blast Injury, PTSD and HBOT

Endorsed by ACHM

Thomas M. Fox, MAS,MS,CHT, Chief Research Physiologist, Hyperbaric Institute for Research and Training, Plano, TX; Moderator: Jeffrey A. Niezgoda, MD, FACHM, FACEP, FAPWCA, President, ACHM, President and Chief Medical Officer, WebCME.net, Associate Professor and Hyperbaric Consultant, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI

Bacteria in a biofilm community typically have extremely high tolerance to antibodies, antibiotics, or antiseptics that rapidly kill planktonic bacteria. Clinical management of biofilms in wounds is based on effective debridement of biofilms combined with dressings that effectively prevent recolonization of planktonic bacteria and topical treatments that kill/reduce remaining biofilm bacteria.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS

331 Wound Essentials Track—Wound Care Considerations in Palliative and Home CareDiane K. Langemo, PhD, RN, FAAN, Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor of Nursing, Emeritus & Adjunct Faculty, University of North Dakota, College of Nursing, Grand Forks, ND; Laurie McNichol, MSN, RN, GNP, CWOCN, CWON-AP, Clinical Nurse Specialist/WOC Nurse, Cone Health, Wesley Long Hospital, Greensboro, NC

Many individuals in home and palliative care have wounds, making wound care a very common focus of care for these individuals. While wound closure is the goal, it may not always be achievable. This session will focus on guidelines for preventing and treating wounds in these settings.

332 AMA Morning RoundsCaroline Fife, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Intellicure Inc., The Woodlands, TX

It’s coming fast and it’s a BIG DEAL. The information presented here affects the way all advanced practitioners are going to be paid as the system changes within the next THREE YEARS to something entirely new. Don’t miss it!

333 Diabetic Wound Care ConsiderationsKevin Y. Woo, PhD, RN, FAPWCA, Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen’s University, Kingston, ontario, Canada

The initial evaluation and diagnosis of diabetic lower extremity wounds will be reviewed. We’ll also discuss treatment considerations and adjunctive modalities, as well as clinical practice guidelines.

334 To Close or Not to Close: Grafting & Advanced ModalitiesMark R. Shaw, DO, FACEP, Director of the Center for Wound Care, Mount Nittany, State College, PA

This session will include an overview of epidermal grafting and the different techniques used for grafting. Current published data using epidermal grafts for wound closure or as a stimulus to wound healing will also be reviewed.

Clinical Symposium on Advances in Skin & Wound Care: The Conference for Prevention and Healing12

2015 Program Schedule ••• MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21

CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST

401 MMPs and How Collagen Balances Them to Break the Chronic Cycle of ECM DegradationGregory Bohn, MD, FACS, FACHM, General Surgeon/Wound Care, West Shore Medical Center, Manistee, MI

Gregory Schultz, PhD, Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute for Wound Research, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are often highly elevated in chronic wounds and degrade proteins that are essential for healing including extracellular matrix proteins (ECM). Treatment of wounds with collagen dressings reduces destruction of essential proteins in wound beds by MMPs and promotes healing of chronic wounds.

402 Epidermal Grafting—Is it Effective?Ernest S. Chiu, MD FACS, Director and Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery, Helen L. & Martin S. Kimmel Hyperbaric and Advanced Wound Healing Center, New York University Langone Medical Center, Department of Plastic Surgery, New York, NY

In this session, we’ll provide the audience with the role of epidermal grafting in healing chronic wounds—indications, benefits, and limitations, will be covered.

403 The “Criminalization” of Skin CareJoy E. Schank, RN, MSN, ANP, CWOCN, Certified ANP, Certified WOCN, Private Practice, Pen Yan, NY

Kevin Yankowsky, JD, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, Houston, TX

Caretakers have faced criminal charges because of skin breakdown. It’s because skin failure is being mistaken for abuse/neglect. As a result, people are being wrongfully charged and imprisoned for a crime they didn’t commit. Law enforcement and health care professionals are unknowingly a part of the dilemma. This session will describe actual cases and provide a foundation for the education needed to combat this insidious injustice.

Local Attractions • Cypress Grove and Greenwood Cemeteries,

120 City Park Avenue Located across the street from each other, both were founded in the mid-1800s by the Firemen’s Charitable and Benevolent Association. Each has some highly original tombs; keep your eyes open for the ones made entirely of iron. These two cemeteries are an easy streetcar ride up Canal Street from the Quarter.

• Gallier Hall, 545 St. Charles Avenue This impressive Greek Revival building was the inspiration of James Gallier, Sr. Erected between 1845 and 1853, it served as City Hall for just over a century and has been the site of many important events in the city’s history, especially during the Reconstruction and Huey Long eras. Several important figures in Louisiana history lay in state in Gallier.

• Hurricane Katrina Memorial, 5056 Canal Street on the former site of Charity Hospital’s pauper’s field, the ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty to give one enormous pause.

• Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, 1427 Sixth Street Right across the street from Commander’s Palace restaurant, this is the lush uptown cemetery. once in horrible condition, it’s been mostly restored. Anne Rice’s Mayfair witches have their family tomb here.

• Metairie Cemetery, 5100 Pontchartrain Boulevard Don’t be fooled by the slightly more modern look—some of the most amazing tombs in New Orleans are here. Don’t miss the pyramid-and-sphinx Brunswig mausoleum, the “ruined castle” Egan family tomb, and the former resting place of Storyville Madam Josie Arlington. Her mortified family had her body moved when her crypt became a tourist attraction, but the tomb remains exactly the same, including the statue of a young woman knocking on the door. Legend had it that it was Josie herself, being turned away from her father’s house, or a virgin being denied entrance to Josie’s brothel—she claimed never to despoil anyone. The reality is that it’s just a copy of a statue Josie liked. Other famous residents include Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard, jazz greats Louis Prima and Al Hirt, and Ruth of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse (in a marble edifice that oddly resembles one of her famous pieces of beef.)
