How You Dealing With Open Wounds

Question
What are the key parameters to assess for this large open wound over the right pelvic region?























Answer
Open wounds should be assessed under a number of parameters including:
whether the wound is still in the inflammatory phase or not
the presence or absence of granulation tissue; the degree and type of wound exudate present
whether the wound edges are attached to the underlying tissue
whether any epithelialisation has occurred
You can then make decisions regarding the most appropriate approach by the surgeon to the wound.
