Advancements in nanofibers for wound dressing: A review
2019, European Polymer JournalCitation Excerpt :Full-thickness wound happens due to damage of dermis as well as hypodermis and requires more healing time (>21 days) [96,116]. The wound is also categorized on the basis of complexity of wound, simple wound deals with the skin tissue or dermal layer [117], complex wound deals with significant tissue loss [118,119] and complicated wound deals with an infected complex wound or infected complex wound with diseases like haematoma, ischaemia etc. [120,121]. Further, the wound is categorized according to cause of wound, traumatic is the cause of wound when the patient employs the deep anxiety, it can be experienced when civilian and military surgeons suggest for saline treatment of wound to disinfect from bacteria [122], Iatrogenic is a wound infection caused due to medical examination or surgery [123,124] and burn is caused due to thermal shock on the skin and the portion of burnt wound is susceptible to bacterial attack owing to the damage of macrophages and neutrophils [125–130].
Initial Management of Traumatic Wounds
2017, Veterinary Clinics of North America - Small Animal PracticeCitation Excerpt :Traumatic wounds can be classified based on factors that affect wound healing and management (Box 3). Nevertheless, wound management needs to be tailored to the individual wound in the individual patient.12 Delay in treatment is associated with proliferation and tissue invasion by bacteria and infection.13

2015, American Journal of Emergency MedicineThe impact of wound age on the infection rate of simple lacerations repaired in the emergency department
2012, InjuryCitation Excerpt :A recent study by Singer et al. revealed that restoring the function, preventing wound infection, and attaining optimal cosmetic results are the most important outcomes in patients’ opinions.2 The impact of wound age on infection rate and the proper method of closure for wounds inflicted after a certain period of time have been the topic of controversy for decades.3 While it has been proven that meticulous wound irrigation (with tap water or normal saline)4 and cleansing is associated with reduced rates of infection, little is known about the impact of other factors, including age of the wound.
Wound Management
2012, Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The accepted interval from injury to wound closure is up to 6 hours for wounds to the extremities and up to 24 hours for face and scalp wounds. Some clinicians suggest that timing is not important if the wound is clean and not infected.8 Each wound needs to be considered individually as to the time and mechanism of injury as well as wound and host characteristics affecting potential functional and cosmetic outcome.
