Acute Wound Care: An Informational Overview
Introduction
Acute wound care refers to the treatment and management of wounds that occur suddenly due to injury, surgery, or trauma. These wounds typically follow a normal and predictable healing process, and proper care aims to promote timely healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection or complications.
What Acute Wounds Are
Acute wounds include cuts, lacerations, abrasions, surgical incisions, burns, and puncture wounds. Unlike chronic wounds (which heal slowly and may persist for weeks or months), acute wounds normally progress through healing stages efficiently when properly treated and monitored.
