Thank you so much! My stepdad’s wound looks like the one you used in demonstration, I was never given instruction on his discharge so I was so grateful for your informative video!

[violettaparedes]

Thank you very much, I am in nursing school and this video showed me what too do pertaining to wound care. Please continue with these videos by sharing your knowledge as we are barely learning in school, some teachers lack the eagerness to teach us leaving us clueless😢! I highly respect your time to share your experience and skills.❤

Outstanding, as a young man or boy, I was an orderly in a large hospital in Phila Pa.at the time I was in High school, so after school, I would go to the hospital for a whole form of class all over again, almost the same your instruction, but I can remember RNs who specialized in certain types of wounds, burns, punctures, crush, Ulcers (punctures?). I can remember it like yesterday, also the nurse would have a cart, she would dress the wound, and I would set up traction, then in some cases would set up a little tent, and then she would use a sunlamp on the wound for may-be an hour, then she would return, take down the tent, bandage the wound, check the traction and on to the next patient, Now this is a bad night for me because I didn't understand just how dangerous these wounds were. I just hated that gown and gloves, but I learned and never forgot. For some patients I would place a wooden ramp covered with pillows in the bed, other we used tractions, anyway it seems like all wounds had to be elevated, and checked daily. Enough this is what we did 60yrs. ago. You did real good, I was with you the whole time, at the end the silver thingie? For

Running these as a simulation like this really helps. We always make sure the learners consider a hyperbaric consult in their evaluation process. #SimTribe

Very educational on what each dressing is for

[MerchantsOfMisery]

Oof, I was not expecting that at 5:43. This video definitely makes me have a lot more respect for medical professionals. I get that they go through a lot of training that conditions them to see various medical issues but I can't say I'm confident that I'd be able to do this kind of work, especially under pressure. Thank you for this educational video.

Thanks so much, I wanted to say that If we put the dressing diagonally in this case it would help.

[rubydavid]

Thank you for demonstrating although it's just a short vedio clip. But I learned something from it. The content is just right and would you please next time put some expression to convince the people and to clearly understand. It's a little bit confusing in the part where your cleaning the wound. Keep it up, this video is good. I love to watch more!

[cristymckinney]

Thank you very much for sharing this information! I do have a couple of questions.. When cleaning out the wound, can a numbing agent be used for pain? and can antibiotic or any type of ointment be placed on the wound?

[jeanduboise]

Very good information. My son has a level four wound near tailbone. I needed to educate myself on the procedure and functionality of the materials used in his wound care. I would like to see an example of caring for a level four wound. Great Video.
