Course Description:
Lymphedema is a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. As a result, tissues with lymphedema are at high risk of infection and wounds. This seminar will describe the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system in relation to risks for developing wounds. The presenters will identify how to differentiate between edema and lymphedema. Additionally, this session will focus on different types and stages of wounds commonly occurring in patients living with lymphedema. This session will also outline wound management interventions for people living with lymphedema.
