The patient may be having pain?? It's not like you change the dressing and don't look at it again until the next scheduled change. Are you monitoring for complications, infections, nutritional status...? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 3:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Wound Vic In a message dated 4/2/2004 1:47:31 PM Eastern Standard Time, "Jane Holmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >Why would PT be changing the wound vac?
