COVID-19 Guidelines - Woundheal.org
Wound Care is an essential service in this very difficult time of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are reports that hospitals and clinics in the United States are severely curtailing clinicians' ability to see patients, including closure of outpatient wound clinics. This prompted the Alliance for Wound Care Stakeholders to draft a letter that wound care clinicians may use to justify ongoing care. Patients with wounds represent an extremely vulnerable population. The case reports and clinical series coming out of Europe and China suggest that the factors associated with poor prognosis from Covid-19 are: older age, hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes and obesity. These are some of the factors that increase the risk for chronic wounds. If patients with wounds are not treated it is likely that they will get worse and need hospitalization. Ignoring wounds will not make them better!
