T – Tissue (non-viable or deficient)
Objective
Identify and manage non-viable tissue.
Key Points
- Types of tissue: necrotic, slough, granulation, epithelial
- Importance of debridement (autolytic, enzymatic, sharp, etc.)
- Promote healthy granulation and epithelialization
I – Infection
Objective
Recognize and respond to wound infection.
Key Tools
- NERDS: Non-healing, Exudate, Red/bleeding, Debris, Smell → Topical antimicrobials
- STONES: Size ↑, Temperature, Os (bone), New breakdown, Exudate, Erythema/Edema, Smell → Systemic antibiotics
M – Moisture
Types of exudate
Serous, purulent, sanguineous, etc.
Assessment tools
Exudate volume, consistency, colour, and odour.
Exudate Management Strategies
- Super absorbent dressings
- Foam and gelling fibre dressings
- sNPWT: Indications, benefits, and case examples
E – Edge
- Recognizing non-advancing wound edges
- Causes: Hyperkeratosis, epibole, maceration
Edge Management Strategies
- Debridement
- Edge stimulation techniques
- Role of sNPWT in promoting edge migration
