Wound dressings, systems, and methods are presented for treating a wound on a patient's limb, such as a venous leg ulcer. The dressings, systems, and methods involve creating airflow within the dressing to vaporize and remove liquid. The airflow may begin when the dressing becomes saturated. The dressings may be used to provide compression and reduced pressure to the wound. Other systems, methods, and dressings are presented herein.

1. A wound dressing for treating a wound on a patient's limb, the wound dressing comprising: a tubular sleeve member for receiving the patient's limb;wherein the tubular sleeve member comprises: an elastic compression member formed as a sleeve having a first side and a second, patient-facing side,a fluid-directing member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the fluid-directing member is disposed proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the elastic compression member, and wherein the fluid-directing member is operable to inhibit fluids from flowing through the fluid-directing member, anda pathway member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the pathway member is proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the fluid-directing member, wherein the pathway member is operable to transport a fluid under a pressure gradient;a pressure source fluidly coupled to the pathway member and configured to force a gas into the pathway member;at least one exhaust port fluidly coupled to the pathway member for allowing fluids to exit the wound dressing; andat least one filter fluidly coupled to the at least one exhaust port for removing odors. 2. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the tubular sleeve member further comprises: an absorbent member for at least temporarily retaining liquids, the absorbent member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the absorbent member is proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member. 3. The wound dressing of claim 2, further comprising a control subsystem, wherein the control subsystem comprises: a sensor fluidly coupled to the absorbent member; anda controller coupled to the sensor and to the pressure source;wherein the sensor, controller, and pressure source are operable to determine when the absorbent member is saturated and to activate the pressure source. 4. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the tubular sleeve member further comprises: an absorbent member for at least temporarily retaining liquids, the absorbent member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the absorbent member is proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member; anda transition member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the transition member is disposed proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the absorbent member, the transition member wicks liquids. 5. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the tubular sleeve member further comprises: an absorbent member for at least temporarily retaining liquids, the absorbent member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the absorbent member is proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member; anda transition member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the transition member is disposed proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the absorbent member, the transition member wicks liquids; anda patient-interface member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, wherein the first side of the patient-interface member is disposed proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the transition member and the second, patient-facing side of the patient-interface member is adapted to be disposed proximate to the patient. 6. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the tubular sleeve member comprises a first limb opening and wherein the at least one exhaust port comprises a plurality of exhaust ports on the first limb opening. 7. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the pathway member comprises a woven-open-structure member that is operable to retain fluids and also allow gases to move in the woven-open-structure. 8. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the pressure source comprises a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled by a pressure conduit to an intake port on the tubular sleeve member. 9. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the pressure source comprises a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to an intake port and a control valve fluidly coupled to the intake port for controlling the rate at which air is allowed into the intake port. 10. The wound dressing of claim 1, wherein the pressure source comprises a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled by a pressure conduit to an intake port on the tubular sleeve member, and wherein the pathway member is fluidly coupled to the wound and is operable to deliver reduced pressure to the wound. 11. The wound dressing of claim 1, further comprising a control subsystem, wherein the control subsystem comprises: a sensor fluidly coupled to the pathway member; anda controller coupled to the sensor and to the pressure source;wherein the sensor, controller, and pressure source are operable to determine when the pathway member is saturated and to activate the pressure source. 12. A method of manufacturing a wound dressing for treating a wound on a limb of a patient, the method comprising: forming an elastic compression member as a sleeve having a first side and a second, patient-facing side;forming a fluid-directing member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side;disposing the first side of the fluid-directing member proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the elastic compression member, wherein the fluid-directing member is operable to inhibit fluids from flowing through the fluid-directing member;forming a pathway member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side;disposing the first side of the pathway member proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the fluid-directing member, wherein the pathway member is operable to transport a fluid under a pressure gradient;fluidly coupling a pressure source to the pathway member, the pressure source configured to force a gas into the pathway member;fluidly coupling at least one exhaust port to the pathway member for allowing fluids to exit the wound dressing; andfluidly coupling at least one filter to the at least one exhaust port for removing odors. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising the step of disposing an absorbent member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member, wherein the absorbent member is adapted to at least temporarily retain liquids. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising the steps of: disposing an absorbent member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member, wherein the absorbent member is adapted to at least temporarily retain liquids; anddisposing a transition member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the absorbent member, wherein the transition member is adapted to wick liquids. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising the steps of: disposing an absorbent member having-a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the pathway member, wherein the absorbent member is adapted to at least temporarily retain liquids;disposing a transition member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the absorbent member, wherein the transition member is adapted to wick liquids; anddisposing a patient-interface member having a first side and a second, patient-facing side, proximate to the second, patient-facing side of the transition member.
