                  Certified by The Joint Commission

                  Scope of Diabetes, Need for Wound Care

                  Diabetes now affects more than 23 million people in the United States. It is estimated that approximately 15% of these people will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime. Such ulcers may lead to subsequent wound infections, progressive tissue loss, resulting amputations, morbidity and/or death if left untreated. Historical data proves that aggressive wound care management by a wound care specialist can prevent dire or unacceptable outcomes.

                  By working with Vista Health System’s team of wound care physicians, nurses, technicians and their ancillary support personnel, patients have the best possible opportunity for positive wound outcomes. Each of the professionals at the Advanced Wound Center aim to treat wounds before they progress into a more serious health related problem. If a wound has already progressed to a more complicated state, our wound center houses the necessary tools and the advanced therapies needed to promote wound healing. Our goal is to prevent limb amputation by identifying the cause of non-healing and correcting the underlying contributing condition so you go on living a happy and healthy lifestyle.

                  Hyperbaric Oxygen and Diabetic Wounds

                  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is one of the many advanced treatment options available for patients with wounds that seek care at Vista Health System’s Advanced Wound Center. The application of this therapy is used adjunctively with an aggressive multidisciplinary therapeutic clinical pathway and is effective in decreasing the likelihood of resulting amputations in diabetic patients with severe neuropathic and/or ischemic foot ulcers. HBO can also improve a patient’s response to local soft tissue and bone infection.
