Wound Care and Healing
Main Article Content
Abstract
Wound healing is critical to prevent complications, such as infections, delayed healing, and misshapen scars, and to promote optimal recovery of damaged tissue. Proper wound evaluation, proper cleaning, debridement, use of proper dressings, proper nutrition and hydration, infection prevention and treatment, inflammation control, and use of advanced therapies are all important measures to consider in wound care.
