| | Debridement |
 | | Surgical debridement is generally performed by a physician, but in some areas of the country an advance practice nurse or physician assistant may perform the procedure. | | | As with other debridement techniques, the area first is flushed with saline. | | | The four major debridement techniques are surgical, mechanical, chemical, and autolytic. |

| | Wound bed preparation |
| | Following sharp debridement a secondary debridement technique is usually necessary, such as larval therapy or autolytic debridement. | | | Debridement is often a gradual process; the choice of methods will depend on the wound status, the time frame for debridement and the available skills and resources. | | | Debridement occurs naturally within wounds and studies indicate that if this process is accelerated then healing will be more rapid [7]. |

| | Arthroscopic debridement and lavage for the treatment of degenerative joint disease of the knee represents a cost-effective, low-risk, beneficial procedure in terms of pain relief and functional improvement that is associated with an extraordinarily low complication rate. | | | Debridement of articular cartilage lesions is variously referred to as "chondroplasty," "abrasion chondroplasty," "subchondral drilling," or "subchondral picking." These procedures are all designed to attempt to stimulate resurfacing of a denuded area of subchondral bone by fibrocartilage. | | | Merchan and Galindo [6] concluded in their prospective study of arthroscopic debridement of the arthritic knee versus non-operative conservative treatment that surgically debrided patients had significant improvement compared with those patients conservatively managed. |

| | A 55-patient retrospective study was conducted to quantify the effect of this dressing on debridement of chronic wounds in clinical practice. | | | This study demonstrates that, in regular clinical practice, a mean debridement rate of 37.7% per week can be achieved with younger patients exhibiting the most expedient debridement of their chronic wounds. | | | The non-selective debridement facilitated by wet-to-dry gauze dressings delays healing by adhering to and removing living tissue and is quite painful. |

| | CMS is concerned with the impact of a reduction of pain and improved function by arthroscopic lavage and debridement for patients with an osteoarthritic knee. | | | This study was a RCT designed to evaluate the effectiveness of both lavage and debridement on the reduction of pain and improvement of functioning for those with painful osteoarthritic knees refractory to medical management. | | | (2002) concluded that arthroscopic lavage and/or debridement in patients with painful osteoarthritis of the knee refractory to medical management is no better than placebo surgery at relieving pain and improving function. |

| | In practice, wet-to-dry debridement may still be the most commonly employed technique, but this method of mechanical debridement is outdated and should be avoided if other options are available. | | | One role of debridement is to remove the callus often surrounding chronic wounds, especially neuropathic or pressure ulcers. | | | Certainly, when necrotic tissue in a wound poses a serious threat to the patient (e.g., sepsis or cellulitis), surgical debridement is the method of choice, as debridement must occur as quickly as possible. |

| | Debridement services as therapy modalities provided by occupational therapists and physical therapists should be coded using CPT code 97601. | | | While there is some consensus that frequent repeated debridement may promote more rapid healing of diabetic foot ulcers, the appropriate interval and frequency depends on the individual clinical characteristics of patients and ulcers. | | | Providers should select a debridement method most appropriate to the type of wound, the amount of devitalized tissue, the condition of the patient, the setting, and the provider's experience. |

| | Among the most severe pain known to humans is that experienced by third-degree burn victims as they undergo debridement of their blackened, burnt, stinking, crusted, oozing, infection-prone, necrotic skin. | | | By definition, their burns have penetrated too deeply into the layers of the skin for the normal scabbing-over and healing processes to work. | | | Those of us who are still here to feel the hurt owe it to those who aren't â” both to those who were killed on that day, and to those who've been killed since then as part of the long and far-from-complete war to avenge 9/11/01 and to prevent any more 9/11s. |
