Exudate monitoring in traumatic wounds.
The successful treatment of traumatic wounds is probably the most challenging problem in surgery today. Traumatic wounds that are not amenable to surgical closure may heal by secondary intention, but often, signs of progress are made subjectively. The aim of this article was to determine whether new...

Traumatic wounds that are not amenable to surgical closure may heal by secondary intention, but often, signs of progress are made subjectively. The aim of this article was to determine whether new wound monitoring devices will provide the clinician with more information about the wound on which to base their clinical decision-making. New approaches to both elevated protease activity (WOUNDCHEK™ Protease Status; Systagenix) and moisture control (WoundSense™; Ohmedics Ltd) are discussed here, designed to provide easy-to-interpret, rapid, point-of-care results that will aid treatment decisions in complex wounds. These new wound monitoring devices should better inform clinicians on identifying those complex wounds with a high probability of nonhealing and, therefore, aid in the treatment of such wounds. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
