Wrapping a leg for edema(shoutout to #terminologytuesday y'all know this word now, yeah???!) management can be a little tricky but becomes easier with practice! It is especially important to take caution not to create a tourniquet effect, which could happen if you are just wrapping in circles around the leg. This figure 8 technique is best - the idea is that we are compressing to push the fluid upwards, so that it's able to eventually come out in your urine. Fun facts! P.S. You know I meant to say knee there at the end, right? ;) Right. Bear with me.
posts videos to share the joy of the completed Missions as well as to provide you with the information you need to:
A) Increase your awareness of healthcare and rehabilitation
(knowledge is absolutely power in the medical world!)
B) Be prepared when illness or disability comes
(no more being reactive when it comes to our health - let's become proactive together)
C) Advocate for yourself or a loved one throughout hospitalization and recovery
(know the right questions to ask, know how to help)
