What is a wound?
Wounds are injuries that penetrate the skin or other body tissues. They vary in size and severity, ranging from minor cuts and grazes to deeper wounds resulting from surgical procedures. For instance, temporary wounds may occur after procedures like pacemaker implantation or coronary artery bypass grafting. Alternatively, individuals may have long-term wounds such as stomas (intentional breaches of the skin) from procedures like tracheostomies or gastrostomy tubes, which necessitate ongoing care.
Wounds can exhibit varying rates of healing and may require assistance under certain circumstances. If left untreated, wounds can become infected. While many infections can be effectively treated with antibiotics, some rare infections can pose life-threatening risks if left unattended. -
What is simple wound care?
Simple wound care involves adhering to a healthcare provider's prescribed care or treatment regimen to prevent infection and facilitate healing. This typically includes practices such as gently cleansing the wound using specialised, hands-free techniques, as well as applying topical medications and basic dressings to shield and assist in the healing process. Additionally, effective wound care entails promptly identifying signs of infection, enabling swift and proficient management of any potential complications.
