About this document
Acute and Chronic Wound Care Overview by Nawal Farooq is a document available to read on EtoBox.
An acute wound is a disruption in the skin and tissues that heals in a timely manner, usually through primary intention. A chronic wound fails to progress normally through the healing phases and is associated with underlying health issues. The phases of wound healing are hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Acute wound management involves controlling bleeding, cleaning the wound, debriding debris, and closing the wound through methods like suturing, stapling, or tissue adhesives.
