Vehicular run-over accidents cause crushing and sheering forces that can result in fractures and cause extensive damage to the cutaneous layer of the skin and underlying soft tissues. These types of injuries present immense challenges that often require numerous treatment modalities for wound management. A complex case in which 2 distinct negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) modalities were instrumental in helping manage extensive wounds resulting from extreme crushing/sheering forces is presented. A 22-year-old male without prior medical history presented to the treating facility after falling and being crushed by a parade float. The patient had multiple fractures to the facial area and pelvic region, including the left side of the sacrum. The injuries encompassed the entire perineum, rectal area, scrotum, and both upper legs. After stabilizing the patient, attention was directed to the extensive wound and eventual closure. Following muscle flap reconstructions to help protect the left and right femora was beneficial in healing a patient's complex trauma wounds and shows a potential treatment strategy in this population of wounds. For this case, combining treatment modalities was beneficial in healing a patient's complex trauma wounds and shows a potential treatment strategy in this population of wounds. Aquatic propeller injuries can pose significant complications in the care of a patient including gross contamination, delayed onset of ischemia, and exposure to unusual water-associated organisms. This case study highlights a circumstance where source control was achieved in a patient that suffered from a polymicrobial necrotizing Aeromonas hydrophila infection following a traumatic aquatic amputation. A 26-year-old female sustained a propeller injury in a lake with brackish water that resulted in multiple significant linear lacerations and avulsions as well as a Gustilo IIIB fracture. Due to the extent of injuries, the limb was deemed unsalvageable. Serial washouts began early in the hospital course, but the patient did not hemodynamically tolerate debridement well. Tissue cultures showed a polymicrobial A hydrophila infection. Achievement of source control was attempted through use of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) (instillation of 100 mL of 0.125% Dakin's solith active, myonecrotic, polymicrobial infections through use of bactericidal solution instillation. Negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time gives clinicians the option to achieve source control in complex wounds with active, myonecrotic, polymicrobial infections through use of bactericidal solution instillation.With the increasing global presence of and reliance on smartphones, featuring high-resolution digital photography and wireless, high-speed Internet, patients with wounds and point-of-care wound professionals are increasingly engaged in remote wound management and surveillance. Twenty years ago, home wound care professionals, advised by remote experts using telemedicine, were achieving sterling chronic wound outcomes. Mobile technology has sharply reduced transportation costs compared with clinic visits. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tdi-011536.html Registered nurses using smartphones to access a web-based surgical infection site (SIS) surveillance algorithm based on validated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, extended reliable, valid SIS surveillance into the first month of home care as recommended in the guidelines. This improved timely SIS identification and management while generating a registry that motivated patients and caregivers. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic accelerated needs for evidence-based care delivered by telemedicine, empowering wound care professionals to deliver quality care while limiting risks associated with patient contact. This installment of Evidence Corner reviews 2 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used telehealth in varying ways to improve health care delivery and outcomes. One reported use of a telehealth application is to improve patient knowledge and outcomes of diabetic foot care. The second compared clinical and economic outcomes for patients with complex wounds whose local clinicians delivered home care guided by remote experts using telemedicine with those of similar patients managed without expert advice in the home or patients who attended wound clinics. This retrospective observational study analyzes the bacteriological profile of pathogens causing burn wound infections in a tertiary care center. This study was conducted at Father Muller Medical College Hospital, Karnataka, India, from January 2014 through December 2016. The specimens (ie, pus or a wound swab) were collected from patients with suspected of infection and processed as per standard microbiological techniques. The antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed by the Kirby Bauer's disk diffusion test on Mueller-Hinton agar as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. During the study period, a total of 124 eligible patient samples were collected; 22 samples were excluded as there was no significant growth/colonization. Among the 102 patients included in the study, 56 (54.9%) were females and the majority (33, 32.35%) of the patients were between 18 to 30 years. Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.56% each) were the most common pathogen among gram-negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus (36, 11.25%) was the most common gram-positive bacteria. Methicillin resistance was 30.5% among the Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Most of Acinetobacter species isolates were resistant to piperacillin tazobactum (84.71%), meropenem (80%), and amikacin (87.06%). Other gram-negative bacteria were also emerging with multidrug resistance. The current study revealed the non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria as the leading cause of burn wound infection and are highly resistant to available high-level antibacterial agents.
