Comprehensive
Wound Management is written as a multilevel textbook
on the management of wounds treated by clinicians. This unique
wound management book covers a wide spectrum of both chronic
and acute wounds including pressure ulcers, neuropathic ulcers,
vascular ulcers, and burn injuries. The author’s seamless
flow creates a user-friendly format that is suitable for both
students and practicing clinicians of varying wound experience.
In
Comprehensive Wound Management the reader is guided through
the development of a rational plan of care by the text’s
organization that is along the lines of The Guide to Physical
Therapist Practice. This format allows for a logical flow
of history taking, physical examination, special tests, diagnosis,
prognosis, and intervention.
Comprehensive
Wound Management is divided into sections that will develop
understanding of the integumentary system, normal and abnormal
healing, examination of the patient, examination of the wound,
and how to document patient interaction. Chapters discuss
each type of intervention such as debridement, dressings,
physical agents and care for the surrounding skin. This encompassing
text also includes prevention strategies and administrative
concerns that impact the delivery of wound management services.
Comprehensive
Wound Management has full-color photographs of wounds, photographic
descriptions of wound management, and line drawings illustrate
and reinforce key concepts. These illustrations assist in
creating a complete understanding of wound management.

Comments
from a reader about Comprehensive Wound Management:
"This
book is also one of the best written. The author really knows
how to express concepts that I never understood before. I
read about things I kind of knew, but now all of these lightbulbs
were going off on almost every page. It was a tremendous experience
to finally really "get" what other people just couldn't
quite explain"
