I haven't seen research but I'd be interested. It seems counterintuitive to me to blow dry a perineum. I imagine we have a sensible built in healing system that's used to a normally lubricated genital area. The c-sec wound still gives me trouble now and then thanks to my built in apron so that's more a case for drying, I'd think. Looking forward to some evidence : ) J ----- Original Message ----- From: "brendamanning" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 1:04 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Wounds
Apologies for the x posting. Have a query on behalf of a colleague. Does anyone know of any research regarding the use of warm air (ie hair driers) to help heal peri & abdo wounds. We did it years ago & it went "out" possibly with the moist wound healing phase. She is after actual research for evidence based prac, has googled & MIDIRd for it but nothing so far. I will ask our skin integrity nurse too. Any research you all know of ? With kind regards Brenda Manning www.themidwife.com.au -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
