Abstract:

Chronic wound is a common complication of chronic diseases, trauma, infection and other diseases. In recent years, the incidence of chronic wounds caused by chronic diseases is gradually increasing, and most of the chronic wounds cannot be treated properly. The wounds do not heal for a long time, which brings great pain to patients and a great burden to society. The healing of such chronic wounds is an orderly process from coagulation, inflammatory response, granulation tissue formation (proliferation) to plasticity. Any factor that disrupts this process will lead to wound healing difficulty. The treatment of chronic wounds is mainly based on the principle of TIME, and the treatment methods include the application of new dressings, anti-biofilm therapy, vacuum sealing drainage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, growth factor therapy, stem cell therapy, etc. In the treatment of chronic wounds, attention should be paid to the treatment of chronic primary diseases and psychosocial intervention.
