It’s the fact it deals with MRSA for this MRSA patient, I use the paste and calcium alginate dressings, the hydrogel dressings are a bit too expensive for me at $75/a 2x2”but totally worth it if you can afford them 😢❤️🩹🥰🙏🏽 I’ve been at w4r with MRSA since 2019 from a spot on my chin, the last time I dealt with MRSA was May 25, 2023 when it almost killed me with MRSA-pneumonia, I was immunocompromised from the rheumatoid arthritis meds I was on called Xeljanz, (zell-jans) 11mg tablet and now I’m terrified to death of immunosuppressants, but at the same time my RA hasn’t been the same either, it’s almost like it’s in remission or something insane like that, I still have to deal with post sepsis syndrome, I spent 3 weeks in ICU and 2 more weeks in step down rooms, I thought the hardest part was in the hospital 😢it’s not, it’s learning to live with my new weaker self and it’s driving me crazy because I got stuff to do and I can’t do it, I’ve tried building my stamina back up and all I get is shaky, sweaty and heart palpitations and vomiting 🤮 and the only thing that helps is lying down for a few hours and then I’m ok. They think my DNA has been damaged by the illness it was that bad. I was on vancomycin for 9 weeks and finally declared clear 3 months later. MRSA is no joke and I’m grateful to the literal teams of doctors and nurses who helped me survive 😢❤️🩹❤️🙏🏽
I had an unknown enlarged prostate, went into the ER because I could not urinate, was surprised with a catheter (very painful), left the hospital physically and mentally traumatized, and felt my life was over as a healthy, active man. I could not sit and had many problems. This channel helped me immensely with dealing with a urine bag; yet, it kept getting clogged and I spent months suffering. I had been offered self-catheterization the first week by my urologist's nurse, but after receiving my catheter and screeching in pain as it went in, my reaction was, "No f'n way am I going to be pushing one it and out several times a day." BIG MISTAKE. After suffering for months waiting for my AQUABLATION treatment--the best--I gave up/in and asked the nurse to show me how to self-catheterize. She showed me, and it was so simple, painless and easy that I got dressed and hugged her. I got my life back. I have been awaiting surgery for months, will be getting AQUABLATION SURGERY in a couple of weeks and every time I hear about people using a catheter and urine bag, I remember the nightmare and, if I can, I tell them to switch to self-catheterization. It literally gave me my life back. 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night before bed and I am completely regular all other times. No urine bag or catheter in me all day. This channel helped me when I THOUGHT I was stuck with a urine bag. What no one said is, self-catheterizing is easy, safe and will give you your life back. It did for me. I was grateful to this channel, when I thought I was stuck with a urine bag. Talk about depression. Some people for some unknown reason may not be able to self-catheterize, but for those that can, it is foolish (in my opinion) to keep on suffering physical and emotionally. I cannot be grateful that no one ever said to self-catheterize and how easy it was.
Thank you so much! Good video
Super , dziękuję bardzo.👩❤️👨
Hello.. Thanks for putting this out. Pls, for sensory perception, if the patient has issues with talking but still verbalizes discomfort, would that be a score of 3 or 4?
After i remove gauze that had old honey, should i use saline to remove old honey or just put new honey on it?
What happens if honey gets on other skin thats not affected but skin is very dried?
Are there any differences between the saline wound wash and the IV saline?

Ty so much for this video!!!
Are hydrocolloid dressing good for an I&D of an abscess wound 48 hours after the I&D? The wound is no longer to be packed. The patient is on antibiotics and is diabetic. The ER discharge paper just says to change the dressing, it does not recommend a type of dressing.
Where would I buy this gel in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
good video, but a procedure video could be much better...
Thank you for the video. So what if the scab that starting to form gets removed on its when you do a warm compress? Can you tell me what you mean by healing temperatures? I have a infected cyst that I've been doing compresses on and recently started adding topicsl honey. But I take the cover off of the cyst it's not really a tight bandage it's just a loose cover so I cam do the compresses
Excellent video. Thank you.
Hello! I had a cyst drained today and the doctor put a packing strip in it with a dressing bandage. I was directed to change the dressing daily but leave the packing strip in for 1 week. Does that seem correct to you?
Thank you very much, nice job.
Thank you, this helped a lot as a clueless medical student on a surgical service.
I'm glad you are finding it helpful!
Rpn????
@animegirl17 Yes, you can become a wound care nurse as an rpn, but you do have to go back to university.
If necrotic tissue turns black, can it be referred to as eschar?
Eschar is a type of necrotic tissue that forms a dry, black, hard covering over a wound. It can be a natural defense mechanism that helps prevent infection. Although if unstable may need to be removed.
Can we still put povidone iodine and ointment before applying the dressing? My cat never seems to heal. We’ve already undergone surgical debridement but the wound just went back to the ways it was. This is our only option as of the moment as per our consultation with our vet.
Look into vashe wash , I'm not a vet, nor do I work on animals, but it's a great debriding agent. When used as a compress for 5 mins before dressing the wound.
Thanks a lot for your response. If I may ask, can I change the hydrocolloid dressing everyday? Or is it best leave for a few days like what you said on the video?
Found it lol
I'm looking for step one.
Great teaching. I'm really enjoyed your teaching and explanation as a nursing student. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Buying your book!
Found you today, and your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
My daughter had a cyst she had it removed, was discharged she has a quarter size hole in the back of her neckline is this normal? Will packing it cause gangrene??
This is normal as they sometimes can not close the opening the cyst was removed from. Packing is best practice as we need the tissue to grow upward towards the surface.
Lay person verbiage would be better.
Good job girl congratulations you are a very nice nurse ❤
Thank you
You're welcome
Interesting 🤔 I found a bunch of these, they are 3×3 and I was ignorant to what they were. They might be useful sometime I thought so I kept them. Thanks. P.s. - exudate means like a discharge or natural body fluids that come out during healing? Is that right? . . . Im just a guy not a dr. Or nurse 😂
Yep exudate is the drainage that comes from a wound. 😀
@NurseAlyssa39 who needs a dictionary when there are context clues. 😆
Hi thank you for the video! Would you give examples to the 4 options gor integra cover dressings? Thanks in advance!
I'm dealing with tummy tuck dehisce and packing with iodoform, day 3 no more exudate and this video also helps! Wound became macerated and before packing I was having to change dressing 3-4 times a day.
Thank you nurse Alyssa
How much faster will a Wound Vac machine speed up healing? I was changing the dressing etc. which was a pain and now they gave me a portable wound back machine for an abdominal wound from surgery. Any ideas?
@aubrey1008 in my experience it normally speeds the healing process significantly quicker as long as it is tolerated and used correctly.
@@NurseAlyssa39 It seems to be working fine but I have to keep charging it. I see my doctor today and hopefully it will show a lot of progress. I am hoping this will be fully healed in two to three weeks. I hope you don't think I am overly optimistic since I need to get back to work etc.
@aubrey1008 it depends on the wound I have seen wounds close within 2 vac dressing changes but once again depends on size
In just 4 days, the wound vac closed the wound 70%. This is amazing for a huge deep abdominal surgical wound. Maybe it will be all done in a week. Changing the dressing etc. should not be an option in modern medicine.
Vitamin B1 is needed for collagen production and wound healing. Diabetics for whatever reason, are deficient in B1 and it's why they have a hard time healing. My T2 diabetic Mother had a wound on her toe that wouldn't heal for 4 months. I started giving her B1 and in a week it's almost totally healed.
Does this work for HS?
Can it be used to closed wounds like DTPI?
yes this can be used on deep-tissue pressure injuries.
My wife has a really tricky sore that keeps returning under her arm. It's been years. Would you take a look at it?
Thank You Maam
Thank you for sharing ❤ I am comfortable with helping my mom now.
Thanks you❤
You're welcome 😊
Hii madom . can u say what types of wound dressing use for bed sore to avoid water and oil from that wound area
Hydrocolloid or triad hydrophilic wound dressings are your best bet, although this is just general information without an assessment.
@NurseAlyssa39 thank you
