Introduction
Pressure Ulcers are a major complication of SCI/D
Will develop in ≥50% of veterans with SCI/D
Overall prevalence of 39%
Majority of pressure ulcers are Stage IV (NPUAP)
Ischia most common anatomic site
Recurrence rate is significant (~40%)

Physiology of Wound Healing
Acute Wound Healing
Orderly and Timely Process
Proceeds through three general phases:
1. Inflammation
2. Proliferation
3. Remodeling
Results in restoration of skin/tissue integrity

Wound Closure vs. Wound Maintenance
Maintenance Wound Goals (palliative):
1. Prevent further tissue loss
2. Prevent infection
3. Control exudate/drainage
4. Control odor

The Chronic WoundNon-healing/Stalled/Problem Wound
Pathways to Non-healing:
1. Infection – Biofilm, Osteomyelitis
2. Hypoxia – Edema, Scarring, Vasculopathy, Nicotine
3. Cellular Failure – Diabetes, Malnutrition
4. Trauma – Pressure
Suspect chronic inflammation in absence of above

Chronic Inflammation
Fibroblast senescence hypothesized as major factor
May result from prolonged exposure to reactive
oxygen species
Impaired synthetic and replicative capacity
Decreased secretion of neutrophil attracting cytokines
Increased fibroblast senescence in pressure ulcers
Elevated plasmin production by pressure ulcer
fibroblasts

Summary
1. Diagnose and correct reversible risk factors
2. Manage wound bed (DIME)
3. Assess healing after 4 weeks of standard wound care
4. If healing<50% consider advanced wound therapies
