<<I gave her info on the moist wound protocol (using hydrogen peroxide soaks) but she preferred saline soaks (I had told her about that before I found the h.p. soak info in archives).>> No offence intended to the author, who sounds like she has gone the extra mile to successfully help this mother. But soaks are NOT part of the moist wound protocol. "Moist wound healing" is a technical term used to describe a wound healing technique that covers a wound with a dressing, wound packing substances or appropriate topical to facilitates healing without scab formation, using the skin's own internal moisture. Soaks do not do this. Moist wound healing is achieved with dressing, wound packing substances or topicals with suitable properties. Off my soapbox. I don't want to be pedantic, but I wince when colleagues lose credibility by being less than professional in their use of technical terms, knowledge of anatomy, physiology, whatever. Especially when there are vultures around waiting to pick holes in what we say. We need to be credible, although sometimes that is still not enough. Ros Escott BAppSc IBCLC Tasmania, Australia
