The Prairies are not the only region of the country losing wildlife. At last count, there were 340 species of plants and wildlife in Canada, including 41 in Alberta, that are either vulnerable, threatened or endangered. Twenty seven of those are either extinct or extirpated (no longer found in this country).
Approach Considerations. Once a pressure injury (pressure ulcer) has developed, immediate treatment is required.Commonly used treatments over the years have included innovative mattresses, ointments, creams, solutions, dressings, ultrasonography, ultraviolet heat lamps, sugar, and surgery.
Fast and effective healing. V.A.C. Therapy (Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy) delivers good healing results for Leg Ulcers. These results follow from several known effects of V.A.C. Therapy. 1) It stimulates cell proliferation via the process of micro-strain.t helps formation of granulation tissue and epithelialisation. In a randomized controlled trial Vuerstaek et al. showed the V.A.C. Therapy reduces the healing time for leg ulcers from 45 days for standard wound treatment to 29 days when V.A.C. Therapy was used.
