Acute wound

Acute wounds heal at a predictable and expected rate according to the normal wound healing phases. They can occur anywhere on the body and range from superficial scratches to deep wounds that damage blood vessels, nerves, muscles, or other body parts. Main factors involved in classification include etiology, depth of the wound, degree of contamination, and severity of the wound.
Learn more about the etiology, pathophysiology, influencing factors, and classification of acute wounds, with a focus on traumatic wounds and burns, here: Acute Wounds 

This LINK eLearning course also explains the principles of assessment and the main therapeutic strategies based on international guidelines and recommendations.
Furthermore, the LINK for Wound Healing website offers several treatment methods and comprehensive information for visitors with acute wounds. The site provides expert advice, step-by-step guides, and the latest research findings to help achieve quick and effective healing. Additionally, it presents various therapeutic options and preventive tips for proper wound care and avoiding wound infections. Visit the LINK for Wound Healing webpage: Home
