This is due to xylazine being used as an adulterant into illicit drugs. There are several adverse effects from xylazine use, with a major complication being xylazine-associated wounds. Purpose: To spread awareness about the dangers of xylazine to healthcare professionals and the general public. Also, to make healthcare professionals aware of the most current evidence based practice treatment for xylazine-associated wounds. Methods: Conducting a case conference at a Michigan hospital to educate healthcare providers including physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), clinical nurse specialists, and nurses. By utilizing a media platform, awareness of xylazine will also be able to reach a more general public. Results: Case conference participants that partook in the post-education survey showed increase confidence in diagnosing and treating xylazine-associated wounds.
