Practical Poulticing Tips:

• Always ensure the leg is clean prior to application.
• Always ensure leg is wet before application.
• Use only paper unless you are experienced with how "plastic wrap" impacts the heat exchange process and the "signs" to look for throughout the application process.
• Poultice no more than once every 6 to 12 hours. Remove poultice after the initial application period to evaluate the process. Is there more heat, less heat, more swelling, less swelling, more infection, less infection – what are you observing and is it what you are expecting?
• Between poultice applications – let the leg "stabilize". Stabilizing is the act of establishing a "base line" from which you can further evaluate the next step.

• Hose the leg with cold water.  This produces two processes:  stimulates circulation which increases blood flow, and counters the effect of inflammation by cooling the leg.
• Wrap the leg with a mild to moderate support wrap to create a modest "pressure bandage" – this procedure prevents the accumulation of edema and helps dissipate the edema.
• Reapply poultice
• Ask for another opinion
• Do nothing
