Shedding Light on Common Bacterial Removal Techniques: Review of Clinical Cases
Removal of bacteria is a central tenet of wound hygiene, but how to ensure our efforts are most successful and tailored to the patient? This session will discuss:
1. How fluorescence imaging (MolecuLight i:X) for detection of elevated bacterial burden is used alongside various bacterial removal strategies to evaluate effectiveness at point-of-care and inform where to focus our efforts, and
2. Lessons learned from imaging on how to support more thorough wound hygiene, and why we need to be changing out our gauze!
