Distance Skin Necrosis Management
摘要
In 2013, EWMA [1] defined debridement as the “Elimination of necrotic, devitalised, infected tissue, hyperkeratosis, hematomas, foreign bodies, debris, bone splinters or any other type of element.” The purpose of removing the necrosis is both to make the diagnosis (e.g., evaluation of the stage of a pressure ulcer after debridement), but also to avoid infection by reducing the bacterial load present in the wound bed.
