| Description | The author deals with the basic principlex of chronic wound care based on the concept of wound management. Management and care of chronic wounds primarily requires the determination of cause and identification of factors which could delay heal ing. Another prerequisite of successful healing is a proper debridement, management of infection, and inhibition of inflammation. Management of chronic wounds also involves managing the exudate and swelling as well as establishing an optimal moist environment in which cellular and biochemical procedures of the healing process can occur. Another therapeutic step is the promotion of epithelization. It is emphasized that care must be complex with a differentiated approach to the patient. |
