Summary
This episode explains the crucial difference between hypoxia (low oxygen that can trigger repair) and ischemia (lack of blood flow that deprives tissue of oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells), and how diabetes worsens both.Clinical takeaways: check vascular status with toe pressures and TcPO2 before escalating to advanced wound therapies, and prioritize revascularization when needed to give wounds a real chance to heal.
