Infected wound care
Main Article Content
Abstract
Infected wounds are common in healthcare facilities worldwide. Wound infection causes prolonged hospital stay, increased treatment costs and medical burden as well as hospital-acquired infections and drug resistance, affecting the quality of treatment and increasing the risk of complications. Management of infected wounds is quite important and requires multidisciplinary involvement.
Comprehensive assessment of the patient one admission to the hospital throughout the care process, coordinated control of the risk of wound infection and impact on healing, assessment and monitoring of wound progression, thereby providing appropriate care.
Additionally to direct local interventions such as wound debridements, dressing with specific wound care products, application of aggressive measures such as Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC), the TIME procedure provides professional efficiency as well as cost decrease.
