CWOCN here - this is nice, but it's overkill. Routine wound care is not sterile. It's a clean procedure. And I agree with other comments - the packing done in this demonstration is not well done. It's both not enough packing (does not fill entire wound and account for tunneling) and yet also too many individual pieces of gauze all at the same time. Otherwise, I think this is a great teaching tool. Very clear and easy to follow. Would love to see this updated.
@@roghider3552 I never knew wounds get packed? Like as in putting gauze beneath the skin inside the tissue or muscle and such? I thought if there was a gash it would just get stitched up

Great for skill test, but for real life, complete wrong… you need to pack tunnelling and undermining, applying a appropriate dressing with anti microbial properly… protect the peri-wound, apply an dressing the control exudate…
@leisel I’ve been bedridden 5 years and only ever had the start of a pressure sore after nurses forced me to be turned every 2-3 hours in hospital, including throughout the night. I was in so much pain 😣. I haven’t been able to to turn for 4 years due to 2 tubes in my stomach (stomas tear easy) + unstable neck/spine but not once had a friction or pressure sore at home. I’m either very lucky or every body is different! Does this only happen to overweight people, I’m very boney 😓, but maybe that’s my advantage here?
This wound looks like it should be treated with a “wound vacuum” until it close enough to be treated as you describe. I was treated with a wound vacuum which encourages healing from the “inside out”.
I hated the vacuum so much! Packing and repacking was even better than the sound of the machine and trauma of dressing changes was better than that thing.
i had a bed sore that was cared for daily this way,although i couldnt see it it felt like the way it looks they did it in this video. sadly it ended up tunneling to my spine but after a vacc was added it helped my healing speed up
The focus here is on being able to change the dressing for students. Movement and mobility are separate skills that are learned and are put together in real life scenarios
@@MrPinnapples it always seems so much easier on practice dummies... then you deal with the real thing, it’s the same with almost everything in life lol, but yeah I agree
okay just wondering but knowing what certain things look like the infection is it all learn in nursing school right because idk what an infection looks like ^~^ I'm still a first year in uni btw
I don't know why you can't just go straight into Nursing school after highschool. It makes no sense to waste 2 years of your life learning things that you aren't going to use in the real world.
@@charlieaviles7245 people need to stop being so greedy. Health care professionals such as doctors and nurses are in high demand. If we take away some of the burden such as being 200k-400k In student debt after graduating then maybe we'd have more of them.
I understand it to a certain extent. Getting an Associate's degree shows a level of competency that's higher than just a standard diploma. Maybe it could be reduced to a year-long course instead of an Associate's or something like that though.
You can but you still have to do prerequisites first. The reason why is becaue you do a ton of research in nursing classes and do write papers. You can't just go into these classes without knowing how to properly cite, type and explain research findings.
Great video,where can I buy that wound dummy,I am an Avanced Woundcare Rep,I would love to have it,I am in South Africa. I use 1% Acetic Acid to cleanse wounds and find it to be more effective than Saline water.
Lol I remembered changing my patient’s dressing then after 5 mins he took a dump and soiled his dressing. I was 15 mins away from endorsing the patient to the next shift.
I could use some help. I'm caring for my Mom at home. Her pressure ulcer looks like a big spider bite right now. At first I used alcohol and neosporin. But it formed a white head. When the head bursted I started using alcohol and silvadene. Yesterday it looked like the skin was closing up but today it looks irritated like mild carpet burn. It still hurts when she adjusts but it's not like it was before. I can touch it with out her hurting. Her laying down or sitting noloher hurts. There's no hole or crater but when I read up on bedsores, the article said that you can't tell how bad the infection is from looking on the surface because the wound starts from the bone out to the top layer of the skin. So now I'm freaking out because I dont know if I am handling things right. I wash the bump and area around the bump separately from the other areas when I change her. I wouldn't say this other wise but luckily she is constipated soon can do controlled bowel movements. This way I never have to worry about a lot of fecal matter getting in areas. Of course that's never 100% but I'll take that along with dressing the bump to keep liquids and solids out. I change my gloves, and washing water etc... just for that area. I try to keep the environment as sterile as possible. Then I talked to her about just lifting her up through out the day. Like if I have to go to the bath room (for example) I'll stand her up for an length of time too so it's like she's standing more often. She can't walk or stand on her own so I have to hold her for a few min. I'm looking into designing my own mattress topper with a cutout in it. So far I've jimmy rigged something for her to sleep on but I need something more permanent. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted online. Any tips would be appreciated.
I am not sure why this is a sterile dressing change? I mean if you are practicing sterile dressing changes fine, but this would never be a sterile dressing change in the real world.
Question: Video states to label the dressing with Date, Time, and Initials except this nurse writes that information on her glove. I'd think that if she wrote that information directly onto the sterile bandage it runs risk of pen ink fading away if dressing becomes saturated with drainage. And writing the info on her latex glove seems odd because she'd just discard her gloves after cleaning up the procedure area and before leaving patient room. Am I missing something? 🤔
I'm a nurse in real life. A wound that bad is most likely gonna have a wound vac on it. It would never heal fast enough with just dressing changes like the one in the video.
I had a wound for 210 days that required daily packing due to an s. aureus after surgery infection, and what they don't tell you is those cotton swabs HURT, BAD. It was an oofer even with lidocaine, lol.
Emm Bee not the same gloves that you’re using to put in the new dressing. The old dressing is contaminated and you don’t want any of that to get back into the wound.
Those "before you get started" steps are huge. Don't come in and start touching stuff without saying hello first and making sure the patient is aware and agreeing to the procedure.
You should consider goggles/gown if there will be a lot of spraying. However, it is really not indicated unless there is reason to believe there is MRSA present.
@@TheDevilockedzombie well ATI teaches it that way so for someone studying the material it's fair to assume they haven't passed their nclex. Aka, proper ppe
I had infected c section wound and when it came time to do care the only time I felt anything was when they would hit healthy tissue when they were scrapping away the bad tissue. Otherwise it was usually just pressure.
Great, but outdated... state now requires us to wash hands and change gloves a billion times between steps AND you can not use the same gauze to clean/pat multiple areas.
My mom's a nurse and has always taught me the proper way to care for a wound. Thank you mom and all other nurses
All I have to say is God bless nurses...wow...that was some kind of wound
I had this kind of wound on my feet a few years ago...Chose to get my legs amputated haha

After touching in and around the wound you don't continue with the same dirty gloves.
Loved everything except the same gloves touching the pen and then putting the pen back in their pocket.
Its cool seeing the use of models for darker skin patients. Its a more realistic care of the variety of patients in a real hospital.

That’s what it’s called? Pressure sores? Is it due to poor circulation? My daughter father have those sores also
This was a nice demonstration, though I cannot help but think that there was cross-contamination at some points n the video.
Hey...cud u recommend me professional courses concerned only with wound care or just relating to wound....
They forgot to check the patient's collaboration level.
Or was it included?
This wound looks like it should be treated with a “wound vacuum” until it close enough to be treated as you describe. I was treated with a wound vacuum which encourages healing from the “inside out”.
I had it as well…. I hated that thing.
I don’t know how well that would work with gaping wounds like bedsores... they don’t exactly close like you’d imagine a wound to close
@@DoktrDub it does tho I had one and I could see my intestines cause how big my wound was

This is great but presents challenges when you have a bariatric patient or a patient who is unable to roll on their side.
The focus here is on being able to change the dressing for students. Movement and mobility are separate skills that are learned and are put together in real life scenarios

How long does it take for it to heal and close, because I have one and I'm afraid it will leave a scar and I'm a model it's on my leg. The lower side.

CNA here, I dont do this type of stuff (maybe CNA's can in other states but not mine.), but I still find it interesting.
Most CNAs in the states I'm licensed as an RN are allowed to do simple dressings but nothing like these dressings. But they can help with it.
In reality. You cant do this (alone)and putting the patient on prone position.(but hey,It's just a demonstration)
Lol I remembered changing my patient’s dressing then after 5 mins he took a dump and soiled his dressing. I was 15 mins away from endorsing the patient to the next shift.

Thank you!
someone please explain enviroment safety check :|
thanks so much for information
Do i need to tape the 4 sides or can I just put the adhesive like a cross?
No. You have to tape down all 4 sides to make sure the bandage doesn't become loose or fall off.
whats the best solution for wound dressing.
Had a similar wound . 🥴
Why are you pouring some of the liquids into the bag? Is it just to get like the top off that might have not settled properly?
I know I was so confused about that part as well. I wish they would explain certain parts instead of putting distracting music and sirens lol
i remember my instructor said it's for sterile reasons- don't know the specifics tho
i think the bottle was open under clean standard, then when needed for sterile a bit of fluid is poured off to clean the lip on the bottle
confused why they poured it out twice, maybe for the homies and homegirls who did not pass class LMAO...
Good information mam tnqq
Does she use NS to wet the gauze that she repacks the wound bed with ?
Yes, I believe it’s called wet to dry dressing.
If that is the order. Sometimes it could be with Dakin's solution [medical bleach], or Vashe Solution.

Umm I’ve always been taught to do length x width..she did width x length, guess don’t matter as long as she charted LxW?

Can you use a sterile glove when you remove the old inner dressing /packing?
Emm Bee not the same gloves that you’re using to put in the new dressing. The old dressing is contaminated and you don’t want any of that to get back into the wound.
Lol 💩
I mean you can but its not really a priority if you are going to irrigate it anyways

Where was this wound?
Seems like the PPE isn't correct right? For irrigation, you'd want the full gown/mask etc. right?
You should consider goggles/gown if there will be a lot of spraying. However, it is really not indicated unless there is reason to believe there is MRSA present.
What are you using, a pressure washer? No. 90% of these would not require anything more than a mask and gloves. Goggles if youre really worried

Does the patient feel all the pain whilst this is happening?
thats why ideally you want to give the analgesic 30 mins before the wound care at least.
