Venous leg ulcer overview: evidence-based clinical guidelines, quality measures and resources

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare but serious primary ulcerating condition of the skin that falls into the category of neutrophilic dermatoses. This topic provides a framework for assessment of patients with pyoderma gangrenosum. Includes concise abstract, clinical pathway/algorithm for use at the point-of-care, and comprehensive resources on the condition (e.g. epidemiology, risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, history, physical examination, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, documentation and ICD-10 coding)

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare but serious primary ulcerating condition of the skin that falls into the category of neutrophilic dermatoses. Currently, there is no definitive guideline or gold standard in management of pyoderma gangrenosum, as data from controlled clinical trials are scarce. This topic provides an evidence-based, always current review on management of pyoderma gangrenosum, with a concise algorithm/pathway for use at the point-of-care

Fistulas with high amount of drainage (i.e., with high-output), or fistulas that appear in an open abdomen with no overlying soft tissue (i.e., enteroatmospheric fistulas, or EAFs) can pose a real challenge to wound and ostomy specialists. This topic illustrates a case in which a fistula isolation device was used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy to manage a high-output EAF. The topic also provides a summarized review on treatment of enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas.

Framework for assessment of patients with skin tears. Includes concise abstract, clinical pathway/algorithm for use at the point-of-care, and comprehensive resources on the condition (e.g. epidemiology, risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, history, physical examination, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, documentation and ICD-10 coding)

Topic on skin tear management and prevention, with a concise algorithm which can be used at the point-of-care
