  • Pressure Injuries: How Best to Treat Non-Preventable Pressure Injuries and What Is State of the Art?
    Contains 3 Component(s)

    Abigail E. Chaffin, MD, FACS, CWSP, MAPWCA Kara Couch MS, CRNP, CWCN-AP, FAAWC

    This webinar will be recorded live on November 25th, 2025 at 11:00AM CT. A recording of the webinar will be available within 24 hours of the live event.

    Pressure injuries take a huge toll in pain and suffering and financial costs to the patients and healthcare systems.  A pressure injury should ideally be closed/healed but palliation is sometimes the only possible pathway.  In all cases, state of the art methods should be applied to treat or palliate the wound/patient. The speakers will present the challenges in treatment, and the methodologies, some rather new, that has become available for the treatment of pressure injuries, particularly in the area of wound bed preparation and supportive debridement of necrotic tissue and slough.

    This webinar is brought to you by the Urgo Foundation

    1. Understand the magnitude of challenge in the treatment of pressure injuries, the core reason why near 100000 lives are lost for the proximate cause being a pressure injury.
    2. Discuss what the traditional methodologies have been to treat pressure injuries, that still occur inspite of much preventative efforts.
    3. Discuss what are the core treatment problems that impede optimal treatment in various settings.
    4. Discuss newer technologies that can be used to improve patient lives, particularly in the area of wound bed preparation, improvements to the reconstructive ladder, and debridement of slough and necrotic tissue.

  • Let's Get the Documentation Right
    Contains 1 Component(s)

    Join Dr. Joyce Black and Dr. Lee Ruotsi to discuss pressure injury documentation.

    This episode explores the critical gaps in pressure injury documentation and education within healthcare settings. Host Dr. Joyce Black and guest Dr. Lee Ruotsi dive into the challenges physicians face, including limited training, time constraints, and misconceptions about skin care responsibilities. They emphasize the importance of accurate skin assessments, especially with new electronic clinical quality measures relying on chart data. The conversation highlights the lack of wound care education in medical school curricula and the need for systemic change to better prepare future providers. Listeners will hear about successful educational initiatives and the importance of top-down support from healthcare leadership.

  • The Search for Clinical Evidence: Do Support Surface Microclimate Management Features Improve Pressure Injury Outcomes?
    Contains 3 Component(s)

    Dave Brienza, PhD

    This webinar will be recorded live on October 22nd, 2025 at 12:00PM CT. A recording of the webinar will be available within 24 hours of the live event. 

    Elevated temperature and humidity at the skin–support surface interface are widely recognized as contributing factors to pressure injury risk. In response, advanced support surfaces have introduced features designed to address these “microclimate” factors, most commonly by circulating air near the skin surface. This feature is often referred to as Low Air Loss (LAL), but a more accurate term is Microclimate Management with Airflow (MMA).

    Despite widespread adoption of MMA technology, clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness has been lacking. This webinar will present findings from a randomized controlled trial designed to answer a critical question: Does microclimate management with airflow reduce pressure injury incidence or severity in patients at risk?

    Join us to move beyond assumptions and explore what the evidence really says about microclimate management, support surfaces, and pressure injury prevention.

    1. Explain how temperature and moisture at the skin–support surface interface influence pressure injury risk.

    2. Identify the design features of support surfaces that target microclimate management.

    3. Evaluate the clinical trial evidence on the effectiveness of microclimate management with airflow (MMA).

    4. Apply evidence-based insights to guide support surface selection for patients with moisture-related risk factors.
