Tratamento de feridas<\/a> \u00e9 essencial, porque as feridas cr\u00f3nicas podem ter consequ\u00eancias perigosas. Debra Mello, uma doente de Southcoast, teve uma experi\u00eancia infeliz em primeira m\u00e3o com uma ferida cr\u00f3nica e os seus efeitos devastadores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em fevereiro de 2020, Debra come\u00e7ou a sentir desconforto e dor num dos p\u00e9s. De imediato, deslocou-se a um centro de cuidados urgentes e depois a um podologista, sem sucesso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debra sentiu que a dor no p\u00e9 estava a piorar. Ent\u00e3o, n\u00e3o mais de tr\u00eas dias depois de ter consultado um m\u00e9dico, reparou na forma\u00e7\u00e3o de um buraco na parte lateral do p\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Decidi levar-me a mim pr\u00f3prio para Servi\u00e7o de Urg\u00eancia do Charlton Memorial<\/a>,\" disse ela. \"Depois de me examinarem, viram como o meu p\u00e9 estava inchado, vermelho e mau e diagnosticaram uma infe\u00e7\u00e3o de origem vascular.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O diagn\u00f3stico de Debra levou-a a uma consulta com Dr. Mark Perry, Cirurgi\u00e3o Vascular<\/a>. O Dr. Perry realizou um procedimento de angioplastia e coloca\u00e7\u00e3o de stent no p\u00e9 para otimizar o fluxo sangu\u00edneo nas art\u00e9rias e ajudar na cicatriza\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As feridas cr\u00f3nicas podem prejudicar a qualidade de vida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Perry determinou que Debra tinha uma ferida cr\u00f3nica e transferiu os cuidados de Debra para Centro de tratamento de feridas do Charlton Memorial<\/a>. As feridas cr\u00f3nicas s\u00e3o geralmente definidas como feridas que persistem durante mais de 30 dias sem sinais de cicatriza\u00e7\u00e3o. A ferida cr\u00f3nica de Debra estava a prejudicar a sua qualidade de vida e a impedi-la de fazer as coisas do dia a dia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Visitei o centro num total de 51 semanas\", disse ela. \"Pelo menos 30 das minhas visitas consistiram na utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o de tratamento com oxig\u00e9nio hiperb\u00e1rico<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finalmente, em maio de 2021, quando Debra se reuniu com Dr. Antonio DeMelo, Podologista de tratamento de feridas<\/a>No dia seguinte, o m\u00e9dico informou oficialmente que ela j\u00e1 n\u00e3o precisava de continuar a visitar o Centro de Tratamento de Feridas - a infe\u00e7\u00e3o tinha finalmente sarado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recordando os cuidados de sa\u00fade <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Embora Debra se lembre de que ter uma ferida cr\u00f3nica era doloroso e debilitante, recorda os excelentes cuidados que recebeu da Southcoast Health e da Centro de tratamento de feridas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tive os melhores cuidados que algu\u00e9m poderia desejar\", disse ela. \"As enfermeiras, os m\u00e9dicos e o pessoal fazem-nos sentir cuidados e confort\u00e1veis. Senti-me como se estivesse a ganhar uma fam\u00edlia sempre que a visitava.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agora, Debra anseia pela normalidade com COVID-19<\/a> em retiro - mas nunca esquecer\u00e1 a compaix\u00e3o e os cuidados que recebeu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
