Many wounds do not lend themselves to immediate primary closure, either due to the degree of tissue trauma, dead space, or infection. Bite wounds are among the most common types of wounds that should initially be managed open in many cases. Open wound management with topical therapies can lead to successful closure of most wounds with time, however it is important to manage them in such a way that further trauma to the tissues or infection are not induced. This lecture will review options for topical wound dressings and bandaging options, such as tie-over bandages. We will also discuss decision making regarding when to close.

In this session, Professor Richard Boyatzis, Ph.D., demonstrates how coaching with compassion is key to leadership development and building more resonant relationships. Based on decades of research and longitudinal studies on the development of emotional intelligence, he shows that people respond better when they are coached to the positive emotional attractor (PEA) versus the negative emotional attractor. He presents doctor-patient studies showing that arousal of the PEA increased treatment adherence for Type II Diabetics, and he explains why PEA is central to neuro-endocrine renewal—the only antidote to chronic stress in the human body.
