Cuidado de heridas<\/a> es esencial, porque las heridas cr\u00f3nicas pueden tener consecuencias peligrosas. Debra Mello, paciente de Southcoast, tuvo una desafortunada experiencia de primera mano con una herida cr\u00f3nica y sus devastadores efectos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En febrero de 2020, Debra empez\u00f3 a sentir molestias y dolor en uno de sus pies. Acudi\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente a un centro de urgencias y luego visit\u00f3 a un pod\u00f3logo, pero sin resultado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debra sinti\u00f3 que el dolor de su pie empeoraba. Entonces, no m\u00e1s de tres d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de acudir al m\u00e9dico, se dio cuenta de que se le estaba formando un agujero en el lateral del pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Decid\u00ed llevarme a Departamento de Urgencias del Charlton Memorial<\/a>. \"Una vez que me examinaron, vieron lo hinchado, rojo y mal que ten\u00eda el pie y me diagnosticaron una infecci\u00f3n relacionada con los vasos sangu\u00edneos\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El diagn\u00f3stico de Debra la llev\u00f3 a una visita con Dr. Mark Perry, cirujano vascular<\/a>. El Dr. Perry le practic\u00f3 una angioplastia y le coloc\u00f3 un stent en el pie para optimizar el flujo sangu\u00edneo en las arterias y facilitar la cicatrizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las heridas cr\u00f3nicas pueden mermar la calidad de vida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El Dr. Perry determin\u00f3 que Debra ten\u00eda una herida cr\u00f3nica y la traslad\u00f3 a un hospital. Centro de atenci\u00f3n de heridas de Charlton Memorial<\/a>. Las heridas cr\u00f3nicas se definen sobre todo como heridas que persisten durante m\u00e1s de 30 d\u00edas sin signos de cicatrizaci\u00f3n. La herida cr\u00f3nica de Debra mermaba su calidad de vida y le imped\u00eda hacer cosas cotidianas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Visit\u00e9 el centro un total de 51 semanas\", dijo. \"Al menos 30 de mis visitas consistieron en utilizar tratamiento con ox\u00edgeno hiperb\u00e1rico<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finalmente, en mayo de 2021, cuando Debra se reuni\u00f3 con Dr. Antonio DeMelo, pod\u00f3logo especialista en heridas<\/a>El m\u00e9dico le inform\u00f3 oficialmente de que ya no ten\u00eda que seguir visitando el Centro de Cuidados de Heridas, pues su infecci\u00f3n se hab\u00eda curado por fin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recordando los grandes cuidados <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aunque Debra recuerda que tener una herida cr\u00f3nica era doloroso y debilitante, recuerda la gran atenci\u00f3n que recibi\u00f3 de Southcoast Health y de los Centro de atenci\u00f3n de heridas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Recib\u00ed la mejor atenci\u00f3n que se puede pedir\", afirma. \"Las enfermeras, los m\u00e9dicos y el personal te hacen sentir cuidado y c\u00f3modo. Cada vez que iba de visita me sent\u00eda como en familia\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahora, Debra espera la normalidad con COVID-19<\/a> en retiro - pero nunca olvidar\u00e1 la compasi\u00f3n y los cuidados que recibi\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
