Wound Care Program

| Wounds |
There are two fundamental types of wounds,
closed and open. In this program we are only going to
discuss two of the many types of open wounds.
An open wound is one in which the skin has been opened and is
exposing the soft and hard tissues below. There are many different
types of open wounds but the two most common types plaguing
our health care establishments today are the non-healing post
surgical open wounds and skin ulceration wounds.
Open wounds, without the use of Diapulse, are many times extremely
difficult to case manage. And remember that any open skin
condition is a primary port for bacteria invasion and infection. Let's
discuss each one separately.
 |
| Post Surgical Open Wounds |
| Wounds that do not heal following surgery are becoming more
and more prevalent. And today bacteria have became so
resistance to all forms of antibiotics that these once super
drugs have little to no effect on the bacteria. Bacteria,
like found in all life, have an innate ability to survive and
adapt to new chemical environments. In other words they
will find a way to change and adapt. So any open skin
condition in the hospital, nursing home, and home care
can go septic very quickly if not managed quickly and properly.
And remember even with immediate proper management you can still
lose the battle against the infections found in open wounds
and parasite invasion. Because of the bacteria's changes and
adaptations to chemical drugs non-healing post surgical wounds
are becoming a bigger problem. |
| Skin Ulcerations |
| Skin Ulcerations affect us all in higher numbers than you
can imagine. The United States average is approximately
10 percent of all the patients in hospitals and nursing homes
have them. And the Diapulse has been found to be the only treatment
that has had a history of allowing the body to heal itself of
this condition. If you want to see just how big this problem
really is go to your search engine and type in your states name
followed by the words Nursing Homes. The search will bring
up a listing of all nursing homes facilities and the number
of skin ulcerations each home presently has. |
| Ulceration Stages |
A skin ulceration is a local defect, or excavation, of the
surface of an organ or tissue, which is produced by the sloughing
or debrisment process of necrotic tissues from the body's healing
inflammatory response. Decubitus ulcerations are caused
by prolonged pressure to one the part of their body when the
patient is allowed to lie too still and too long in bed for
a time period. For this reason Decubitus ulcerations are
also called "Bed Sores" and "Pressure Sores".
These ulcerations will advance and develop through four stages.
Each phase considers a distinct period of time or developmental
phase in which the course or history of its disease process
can be monitored and cared for.
Catching and implementing corrective management of skin ulcerations
in their earliest forms is always the best way to correct them.
Stage One
Phase one is the first and least involved of the four.

| Diapulse Treatments & Settings |
There has been a large number of request to discuss the treatment
settings I found to be very effective when treating a full range
of advanced motocross injuries such as broken bones, spinal
vertebral and spinal cord injuries, head injuries, strokes,
coma, tail pipe burns, and skin ulcerations. All were treated
very successfully with Diapulse.
Patient Placement Requirements
Patient comfort comes first, preferably lying down is best as
most patients will go to sleep as the healing process is activated.
However some conditions are treated better when the patient
is sittings up, such as sinus conditions. The patient does not
need to disrobe. They can stay fully dressed as the Diapulse
treating head can be placed directly on the effected area and
the electromagnetic healing rays will go right through the clothing,
sterile dressing, or cast. But remember the treating head
surface must be touching the effected treatment site.
Location Of Treatment
Diapulse treatments can be performed while the patient is lying
on a treatment table, in bed, or sitting in a chair. It
is normal to find the patient sleeping during the treatment
as the body selectively shuts down its normal activities as
its healing processes are activated.
Time Of Treatment
Each treatment time should lasts from 15 to 30 minutes minimum.
However, I have found that the more severe the injury the longer
each treatment time must be. A Diapulse can successfully
treat many patients a day. Treatments involving a severity
level of 4/10 to 6/10 can be treated twice a day (BID) such
as broken bones, spinal core injuries, or skin ulcers.
And remember that twice a day is much better than twice as long.
Treatments requiring three times a day (TID) usually involve
a severity level that ranges from 6/10 to 8/10. Conditions
that range 8/10 and above probably will require many hours per
treatment as the Diapulse's treating electromagnetic field eliminates
the pain, swelling, and discomfort. All broken bones,
spinal cord injuries, and skin ulcers require a minimum of 30
minutes for each treatment.
Frequency Of Treatments
Standard treatment protocol dictates the more severe the problem
the more frequent the daily treatment. As a general rule
I have found for more sever conditions who's severity levels
is at or above 4/10 will require at least two treatments daily
(BID). More severe conditions will require three treatments
daily (TID). And all 8/10 and above will require are treated
QID or four times per day.
All healing times are greatly shortened with the correct daily
frequency. QID & |
| Diapulse Power Setting |
The Diapulse has two-selected setting for each treatment.
Both are selected and set before the treatment begins.
1. Peak Power
2. Pulse Frequency
1. Peak Power (The Upper Panel)
The Upper panel on the machine is Peak Power. This setting
determines the magnetic wave depth of penetration. The
values range from 1 through 6. Value
1 is for shallow depths (approximately 1") and value 6
is a maximum penetration depth (approximately 6").
2. Pulse Frequency (The Lower panel)
The Lower Panel on the machine is the Pulse Frequency.
This setting determines the number of electromagnetic energy
pulses per minute (ppm). The pulse frequency ranges from 80
ppm to 600 ppm.
Because the duration of each pulse is constant, the intensity
of the total electromagnetic power employed can be varied over
a broad spectrum by correlating the settings of the pulse frequency
with the settings of the peak power output. |
| Power Setting Chart |
1. Peak Power (PP)
A. 1, 2, & 3 All
Skin Inflammations = burns, sutures, cuts,
abrasions, etc.
B. 4, 5, & 6 All
Acute thru Chronic treatments = follow-up post operative treatments,
all bony areas, striated muscles and joints including hands
& sinus, striated muscles, pain, sprains & strain, fractures,
swelling, edema, strokes, heart conditions, comas, skin ulcers.
Etc.
2. Pulse Frequency (PF)
A. 80 thru 300 = Smooth muscle spasms, acute
nerves such as sciatica, burns, pain, etc.
B. 400
= All acute inflammatory conditions, injuries (within 24
hours) or same day related
C. 500
= Subacute injuries (48 hours on)
D. 600
= All chronic conditions, broken bones, spinal cord injuries,
deepbruises, strokes, heart conditions, comas, and skin ulcers
Total Number Of Treatments (Guideline)
1. Acute Conditions = Should see results within
1 to 10 treatments
2. Chronic Conditions = Should see results within 10 to 30 treatments
Remember - No treatment under 15 minutes over the affected area.
And the longer the treatment the better the results. The more
severe the problems the longer each treatment time should be.
If the patient is asleep while on the Diapulse do not awake
them and continue the treatment until they wake up on their
own. The body heals at its fastest possible rate during
the sleep phase.
Acute Nerve Inflammation Low back pain, as
almost all chronic pain, responds very well with a Diapulse
setting of 6 and 300 or 6 and 400 over the primary site of actual
pain.
What Conditions Can Diapulse Be Used On?
Any and all acute, subacute, & chronic conditions involving
all connective tissue and postoperative edema and pain.
Diapulse can be used safely over any area of the body with no
danger of hyperpyrexia or tissue damage. It can be placed
directly on any cast to heal broken bones. It can be used directly
over metal implants to heal the surrounding tissues. It has
been found to regenerate nerve tissue. And is the only therapy
approved by the FDA to treat an area immediately following surgery.
Contra-Indication = None
Warnings
Diapulse should not be used on patients using electronic cardiac
pacemakers or on patients with metallic implants in the area
of application. Hearing aids may have to be removed before
treatment begins.
1. Diapulse should not be used on pregnant or skeletally immature
patients
2. The long-term biologic effect of pulsed electromagnetic energy
is not known at this time.
