Dr. Marcus Gitterle, Chief Medical Officer for WoundCentrics of New Braunfels, Texas, provided a lecture to the National Association of Long-Term Hospitals (NALTH) membership on the topic of Covid 19 and the impact on wound care in November 2020.
The 50-minute video presentation offers an in-depth review of the implication and changes in wound care being provided to patients that have tested positive with Covid 19. The unique challenges that nursing and clinical staff are managing during the on-going pandemic has yielded new information on how to manage Covid 19 patients that present or develop wounds during and after hospitalization. Dr. Gitterle presents several important pearls of wisdom to educate wound care providers from the lessons learned from treating thousands of patients with Covid 19 in multiple states in all types of facilities.
The Covid 19 and Wound Care lecture is very informative and educational for all clinical personnel that are treating and exposed to Covid 19 patients.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to our health systems, including wound care. What is encouraging is that we have already identified valuable best-practices that can prevent complications in these patients while supporting and protecting caregivers,” explained Dr. Marcus Gitterle, Chief Medical Officer for WoundCentrics. “ Our goal is to share these lessons learned and valuable pearls of wisdom with other providers during this pandemic,” Gitterle said.
