Publisher's Synopsis
"I cannot fault the content and I will be recommending it to all the nurses in my clinical area." Nursing Times (from the 1st edition) Leg Ulcer Management and Chronic Oedema, 2nd edition, is a practical and accessible guide for nurses treating patients with leg ulceration. It examines ulcer types and causes of leg ulceration and draws upon international position statements on wound pain, wound bed preparation, wound infection and compression therapy to provide guidelines for effective, evidence–based care. The new edition has been updated throughout to include the latest evidence–base, and includes self assessment questions, links to further reading, and added information on wound bed preparation, pre–tibial lacerations, drugs, and nutrition and healing.
