What is the best way to treat the wound?
Optimal wound treatment is a large field of work and is summarized in the term wound management, which includes the following points: Wound anamnesis, physiology of the wound, phase of wound healing, the actual wound treatment, documentation of the wound and the appropriate Schnmerz therapy. Since not every wound is the same, an important component of modern wound treatment is the preceding wound anamnesis. This includes, among other things, what kind of wound is it, what caused it and what previous illness and possible complications are known to the patient.
The next important step is the physiology of the wound. Depending on the type of wound and its location on the body, each wound has its own healing tendencies. In the next step it must be decided in which phase of healing the wound is located.
In case of very purulent wounds it must also be decided whether or not surgical treatment of the focus of infection is necessary. After all these points have been taken into consideration, the actual wound treatment is carried out, which is individually graded according to the wound. The basic principle of every wound healing process, however, is that the wound should be kept clean and the wound healing process should be supported by protection. Especially in the case of larger and chronic wounds, wound documentation is of great importance in order to objectively assess the healing process and the dressings used. Of course, pain therapy is also an important part of wound treatment; here, depending on the extent of the infection, sufficient freedom from pain should be made possible.
