Wound You Look at That?
Approach to Wound Care: From Assessment to Treatment

In an era of unprecedented challenges and medical advancements, the landscape of wound management has evolved beyond conventional practices. The modern paradigm demands a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to the complex etiology and pathophysiology of cutaneous and subcutaneous injuries.

In this week’s episode, we will begin with a meticulous review of contemporary wound assessment methodologies, which highlights the critical role of accurate differential diagnosis and risk stratification. We will dissect the nuances of the various phases of wound healing and the factors that impede them by providing a scientific framework for developing individualized treatment protocols. We will then transition to a robust discussion on advanced treatment modalities, including both conservative and surgical debridement techniques, the judicious application of state-of-the-art biological dressings, and the growing utility of adjunctive therapies. Our expert panel of speakers will share their invaluable insights and clinical experience to help ensure that all attendees are equipped with the knowledge to manage a spectrum of wound types, from acute traumatic injuries to recalcitrant chronic ulcers and diabetic foot syndromes.

We have two (2) main speakers today, both of which are consultants at the Department of Dermatology of the UP – Philippine General Hospital: Dr. Nicole Marella G. Tan and Dr. Val Constantine S. Cua. They will underscore the significance of a holistic, patient-centric approach to care by recognizing that optimal outcomes are achieved through a multidisciplinary lens. They will also help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application by providing actionable strategies for integrating these advancements into daily practice, whether in a hospital setting or in community-based care.

Join us to understand how we can all contribute to enhancing health outcomes and mitigating the considerable morbidity associated with poorly managed wounds across the archipelago.

Together, we can stop preventable deaths!
