Abstract

different mindset than traditional wound care yet is based on the same fundamental scientific principles. This workshop presents an approach to palliation in wound care that involves being able to properly assess a wound and determine if palliation is appropriate, developing a comprehensive strategy for palliation of various types of wounds, and managing symptoms of chronic wounds, especially pain and odor. The many benefits of an effective palliative wound program, including improved quality of life and achieving the goal of healing the whole person, will be addressed. The emphasis will be on palliative wound care helping to achieve hospice goals for the patient.
