Hi Alyssa, great vid. Im CWON, been an inpatient wound nurae for abiut 5 years and would love to start an online wound care business. I have so many questions, and would love to chat with you.

hello if you start to feel pain in arms or legs or thighs etc. is it too late to do the preventions like healthy eating or exercise ? because i am overweight and when i woke up i started to feel my arms and legs hurt especially my right arm when i use my hands or clench my fist

Very helpful. Thanks.

Many wound dehiscences need to regrow skin BEFORE another suture. There’s just not enough new capillary growth or strong enough skin! Thus we need to expedite the skin regeneration. Does anyone know whether infrared light technology helps?

Thank you for your videos! 😊May I know after proper cleaning & debridement, for dry necrotic wounds, is it to use hydrogel & a hydrocolloid dressing over it? Is that alright or are there better dressings?

Would this care be similar for those of us going through radiation therapy for breast cancer?

I bought the 10 x 10 cm version of the dressing. The cut is a lot smaller than the dressing. There would be a lot of the dressing left after I trimmed it to the proper size. Can I still use this leftover piece for the next dressing change?

I had a tummy tuck but i still have my drains in i been asking my surgeon if its normal that the fluids coming out smell its between orange and brown is it an infection

Can flamazine cream can be used on boils or abscess???plz tell

Как можно заказать. Я нахожусь в Армении

This is much appreciated. My mother and law has one temp for two weeks. They sent us home with zero help on how to do anything . Unfortunately she can only hang on her walker. She’s very unsteady and can’t hold it. It’s horrible. O will have to find something . Nurse barely showed how to empty it. She can’t do it herself unfortunately. Today we have to take a shower so t know what to do

Im having to pack a wound in the bottom of my foot I had infection in my foot cleaned out I'm taking IV antibiotics right now trying to save me from losing my foot as I'm a diabetic

hi, may i know what will happen if yhe sodium hypochloride wasn't dried thoroughly before the application of the mepilex foam dressing?

and no demonstration, just talk

I read a wound assessment for a pt it said nil exudate but it was documented as slough isnt slough a exudate?

Thank you for sharing this info, Nurse Alyssa!

Do you also apply betadine along with bactigrass ? If yes then what are thr steps ? Like after cleaning with Nacl you'll apply betadine then put bactigrass over it and cover it right ?

In a case of open wound like shattered bulb from burned damage, it sometimes release a light yellow liquid, do we need to warp the wound? Or it's okay to keep it open?

I have a laceration on my toe and the skin flap (there is a skin flap because the wound is jagged) is macerated and all white, or it is deprived of blood flow, idk, but I sweat a lot and I have had a skin suture and bandage on it for some time so it’s even more sweaty

Are there any topical treatments available, for effectively eliminating (curing, reducing, etc.) cellulitis? Whether through mainstream medicine (a.k.a., conventional medicine) or functional /holistic / alternative medicine? One example of the latter, which I've heard of, is a therapy called Chlorine Dioxide. ~ topically applied, but it takes a lot of care and specialized / detailed knowledge, it appears. ~ Have you ever heard of this approach?

Can i ask mme how to remove the necrotic tissue..? What are the way to debridge?

At the wound clinic here in denver at porter, they keep people sick. The débrider there loves making people bleed

Thank you

Intermittent fasting for 16 to 18 hours per day with either an 8 - or 6-hour eating window increases autophagy, which greatly reduces infections and has scientifically proven better outcomes 😊

Hi Nurse Alyssa, what is the usual timetable for exudates to stop coming out of a wound??. My 3 week-wound from a dog bite is healing well, the swelling has stopped and the wound seems getting smaller by the day. I apply Vaselline and bandage over it daily after cleaning (soap and water). I am just wondering until when should I stop covering it and switching to silicon sheet perhaps??🤔 i also wonder if the moistness from my wound will go on as long as I do what I do, please advise what are the signs I should look out for to stop. Thanks in advance!😊

Too many technical jargon

For wound care as you're discussing here, how would Dakins solution rate and/or compare with hydrogen peroxide or antibiotic ointment?

Hi Nurse Alyssa, thanks for your complete info on how to prevent scarring. Can you expound why we don't want scabs to form?? if that is the body's natural bandage, why is it not ideal??

How often should this bactigrass be changed? Does it have an adhesive?

I had developed a sudden and unexpected reaction to the posterior side of my shoulder, early in the day the skin was fine, however, by late evening there was an area that was shaped like a triangle with a bordered lining, All the skin on the inside looked like it received a hug dose of the sun because it felt like a really bad burn. I don’t expose my skin to the sum, and when i do I use sunscreen. I’m still shocked as to how quickly my skin changed it became ulcerated, was extremely painful. I had applied antibiotic cream on it prior to it becoming ulcerated. Then I was worried that it might be infected because it was a light yellow secretion that formed a scab. There was no blood, because the skin was not injured prior to this, however, it was extremely painfully for almost 2 days. There is still pain, and I believe that it is cellulitis, but I am glad that I learned that there is serous fluids that is a light yellow, otherwise I’d still be freaking out that its infected. When its not.

Question why did my foot dr. tear off my scab when my leg wound started? GE SAID U DONT WANT A SCAB TO HEAL

thank you. I have been studying how to help take care of cuts and injuries in a field remote setting. I am preparing a field first aid self aid kit and I will now include povidone iodine. I have watched a number of your videos.

Can u use is if someone has cancer thanks please reply

Very helpful, thankyou!

I had lost hope, I had surgery in Colombia and my stitches got infected and a big hole open on my pubic area, Nothing has been able to cure this hole. The doctor finally was able to make it little smaller, but I believe this is going to help me more than these people ever could thank you very much for the video I can go back to the US and get better, has been a nightmare!

Just wanna say thanks for this simple informative video. You made this all very simple to understand.

This helped. I had cyst removal surgery in May and theres one part of the incision that is open still and it is draining

I started on the vashe about 2 weeks ago. In my wound that I have had for 14 years is pretty big and nothing has helped. I have noticed in this last 10 days. Or so That's really helped to clean my wound. It looks so much better. They ever did great stuff I also had tremendous drainage, and the vashe has also stopped the drainage trenendously. Fabulous product

I have had chronic recurrent cellulitis in legs since 2005-6. At least once, it turned out to be cutaneous diphtheria.

What can be used as secondary dressing after mepital in the case of skin tears

When you're used to the chaos, it's no big deal 😜
