educational collaboration with pad coalition
sawc Fall is pleased to announce a renewed educational collaboration
with the Peripheral Artery Disease (pad) Coalition in co-developing
a comprehensive, one-day “cli 2014” track that will address the
epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of cli. Critical
limb ischemia (cli) is the most severe form of pad, which leads to
associated morbidity and mortality. A major focus of the pad Coalition
is to raise awareness of critical limb ischemia and the need for urgent
medical care for this condition. Through their continued partnership,
sawc Fall and the pad Coalition seek to improve the prevention, early
detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with or at risk for cli
through continuing medical education at the sawc Fall meeting.
# woundcare # s awc
about the pad coalition
The pad Coalition is an alliance of
leading health organizations, vascular
health professional societies, and
government agencies that have
united to raise public and health
professional awareness about
lower extremity pad. Committed to
improving pad patient outcomes, the
Vascular Disease Foundation and its
coalitions strive to increase public
awareness for vascular disease.

Most wounds are attributed to vascular disease

but there are other vascular diseases that cause tissue injury
and loss. With an emphasis on small vessel ulcerating processes,
presenters will discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, and management of less common vascular wounds.

at one of five aawc educational posters and are given a brief
lecture on how to present an effective research poster. Afterward, attendees are escorted to 2–3 specially selected posters,
which have been submitted in advance by poster presenters
for aawc critique. Attendees will learn how to present clinical
research/education in an effective poster format by viewing and
discussing examples of what one should and should not present
when developing an effective, methodologically rigorous poster
for dissemination.

Pushing the Research Agenda for Venous Ulcers: AHRQ
Meeting Summary
moderator/speaker: Gerald S. Lazarus, md
speaker: Fran Valle, dnp, ms, crnp
Venous ulcers are the most common and least confounded
variety of leg ulcers. ahrq, through the Evidence-Based Medicine Center at Johns Hopkins, systematically reviewed whether
the use of advanced wound dressings, systematic antibiotics,
and venous surgery enhanced the healing of venous ulcers
over adequate venous compression. Over 10,000 articles were
reviewed and only 66 met the requirement for analysis. There
was no evidence that venous surgery or systematic antibiotics
increased healing of venous ulcers. Based on this, it is clear that
new research is needed and highlights of a recent consensus
conference will be emphasized as a path forward to better clinically related research.
