Conservative Sharp Debridement (CSD) of Wounds Policy (P99)

We know that wound dressings should provide the optimal environment for wound healing after careful clinical assessment of the wound, the patient clinical condition and clinical outcomes. Hard to heal wounds, however, fail to progress, and many can be seen with dead tissue, slough and necrosis which in turn can increase the risk of infection and also increase cost within appropriate dressing use and nursing time. This procedure will only be undertaken by the Tissue Viability team members who have successfully completed a validated programme of care and assessment of competence in practice. A minimum of 10 episodes of observed practice is to be completed until competency can be granted. The purpose of debridement describes any method by which such materials (necrosis, slough and dead de-vascularised tissue) are removed and consequently the potential to achieve wound healing enhanced. It also reduces the bacterial load and minimises the risk of local and systemic infection. It can allow for wound draining and reduce odour overall enhancing patient quality of life.

The purpose of this document is to provide a clear written procedure for staff to understand what information is required when assessing a wound using the wound assessment template on SystmOne. It will include information about when to refer to different services and key information about individual accountability to the patient in wound care. This document will be available to all nurses in Community Health Services and to new starters. It will provide them with a single reference point for how to assess a wound and action to be taken in the event of problems, concerns or complaints.
