1 The use of MEDIHONEY in Palliative Wound Care and the Advanced Aging Patient Presenter: Angel Sutton, RN, MSN/Ed, CWCN, CFCN, CCCN Wound Care Nurse Consultant
2 Agenda My clinical practice Why MEDIHONEY? What can it do? A Review of Cases Impact on my practice Tips & Pointers Q&A
3 My Clinical Focus: Long Term Care 55 Skilled Nursing Facilities 5 Home Health 5 Hospice Patient Consults/Wk Wound Care Protocols/ Staff training
4 What is Palliative Wound Care? Hospice and Comfort Care Focus: relieve and prevent suffering All disease states End of life Curable diseases (ie. Cancer) Interdisciplinary team approach

6 MEDIHONEY Promoting Autolytic Debridement through to Healing Derived from the pollen and nectar of a specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand Unique among honey maintains its effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid Shown in randomized controlled trial where the mean healing time was significantly faster for wounds treated with MEDIHONEY impregnated dressings when compared to conventional dressings 1 Two key mechanisms of action create an optimal environment for wound healing High Osmolarity and Low ph 1. Kamaratos AV, Tzirogiannis KN, Iraklianou SA, Panoutsopoulos GI, Kanellos IE, Melidonis AI. Manuka honey-impregnated dressings in the treatment of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. Int Wound J ; 9: 1-7.
7 High Osmolarity MEDIHONEY s high osmotic potential draws additional fluid from deeper tissue to the wound surface Works with the body s natural processes to promote autolytic debridement to cleanse debris and necrotic tissue from the wound
8 Low ph 0 Wound healing Wound breakdown ] Wound healing favors an acidic environment MEDIHONEY ph Neutral Chronic wounds have an elevated alkaline ph (between ) 14 The low ph of MEDIHONEY ( ) helps to lower the ph within the wound environment 2,3, which has been shown to have wound healing benefits Gethin G, Cowman S.

10 Case Review
11 Case 1 Un stageable Pressure Ulcer, Kennedy Terminal Ulcer Day 1 Wound Measurements 3 x 2.8 x 1.5cm 93 year old male patient with respiratory failure with exacerbated CHF Patient was noted to have a coccyx un stageable pressure ulcer with odor Applied MEDIHONEY Calcium Alginate to wound bed to remove slough Covered with foam dressing Dressing changes 3x per week, versus everyday
12 Case 1 Unstageable Pressure Ulcer Day 18 Slight increase in wound size Measurements 3.5 x 3.2x 1.5 Wound becoming clean of slough and non viable tissue Patient observed a notable decrease in wound odor Continued with MEIDHONEY calcium alginate and 3x week dressing changes to aid in wound healing and patient comfort
13 Case 1 Unstageable Pressure Ulcer Day 30 Wound now measures 2.7 x 3.5 x 1cm Patient continued to deteriorate in health and weight loss Dramatic decrease in odor noted by patient and family as the wound was autolytically debrided with MEDIHONEY
14 Case 1 Unstageable Pressure Ulcer Wound Progression Day 1 Day 18 Day 30
15 Case 2 Non improving pressure ulcer on heel Day 1 Wound Measurement 2 x 2.8 x 0 84 year old female with peripheral vascular disease Pressure ulcer on left heel. Treatment prescribed: collagenase daily Pressure redistribution surface for the bed and wheelchair Multivitamin with mineral daily, vitamin C, protein supplements
16 Case 2 Non improving pressure ulcer on heel Day 90 Wound Measurement 3.4 x 2x0 Eschar and slough still covering entire wound Changed treatment to MEDIHONEY HCS sheet dressing, non adherent Dressing frequency reduced from daily to 2x per week
17 Case 2 Non improving pressure ulcer on heel Day 120 Wound Measurement 1 x 1.5 x 0.1 Eschar, slough resolved Granulation tissue Epithelialization Maintained 2x per wk dressing changes Completely healed by day 60
18 Case 2 Non improving pressure ulcer on heel Day 1 Day 90 * MEDIHONEY initiated Day 120
19 Case 3 Unstable coccyx wound in end stage care Day 1 80 year old female with end stage dementia, COPD, and HTN Progressive weight loss weighed 103 pounds Unstable coccyx wound Treatment: initiated MEDIHONEY Gel and foam cover dressing Goal: Stabilize wound, remove slough to decrease odor
20 Case 3 Unstable coccyx wound in end stage care Day 14 Accomplished goals Reduced slough Reduction in odor observed by pt., family and staff Pt. expired shortly afterwards
21 Case 3 Unstable coccyx wound in end stage care Day 1 Day 14
22 Case 4 Pressure Ulcer in Palliative Care Patient Day 1 Wound measurement 5.0 x 4.6 x yr LTC pt. End state Parkinson s disease, diabetes, dementia Pressure ulcer to left trochanter Conservative sharp debridement initiated
23 Case 4 Pressure Ulcer in Palliative Care Patient Day 2 Post conservative sharp debridement initiated Alternating pressure mattress Nutritional support Multivitamin, Vit C, Protein supplement MEDIHONEY Calcium Alginate, 2 to 3x wk, secondary composite dressing
24 Case 4 Pressure Ulcer in Palliative Care Patient Day 7 Wound measurement 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.5 Granulation tissue presentation despite pt decline in health Pt observed wound was free from odor Continued with dressing changes 2x/ wk to aid in patient comfort Pt. unfortunately expired before additional images could be taken
25 Case 4 Pressure Ulcer in Palliative Care Patient Day 1 Day 2 Day 7
26 Case 5 Facial Cancer Lesions at End Stage Care Cancer pt. developed facial lesions Pt reported pain and foul taste MEDIHONEY Paste (100% Leptospermum honey) with light composite dressing Applied paste to inner cheeks 2x daily Pt observed reduced foul taste
27 Case 6 Facial Cancer Lesions at End Stage Care Skin cancer biopsies and excision to remove cancer MEDIHONEY Paste (100% Leptospermum honey) applied 2x daily and left uncovered to aid pt comfort Pt like pleasant smell of the MEDIHONEY and noted a reduction in odor Pt. expired a week later
28 Impact of MEDIHONEY to Practice Help stabilize and prevent wounds from worsening Promote healing Promote dignity and quality of life Removal of malodor tissue to aid in reducing odor Less dressing changes less discomfort Cost effective care
29 TIPS & Pointers Be prepared for an increase in exudate Skin prep, absorptive cover Match product type to wound need: PASTE = apply like any ointment, great for wounds of the mouth GEL = apply like any ointment, more viscous and stays better at the wound site Alginate dressing = More absorption, fit inside wound edges. Set expectations that the honey will move into the wound and the alginate is what is left HCS Sheet dressing = for dry or lighter drainage, soft and comfortable.
