Wound | General guide to preparation prior to dressing |
---|---|
Early traumatic wounds (less than 4 hours old) | Wounds that are treated within 4 hours of occurring have a good chance of uneventful direct closure. The wound should be generously lavaged using saline and explored to establish the extent of trauma and any presence of foreign material. Anaesthesia may be required to do this effectively. Closure may be achieved by surgical means if the wound is sufficiently clean and enough viable tissue is available. |
Long-standing traumatic wounds | Wounds that are over a day old may begin to show signs of deterioration in the form of contamination, infection and dead or devitalised tissue. The wound should be explored thoroughly and non-viable tissue removed. Anaesthesia is likely to be required to examine the extent of injury thoroughly. Thorough lavage with normal saline is recommended. |
Surgical wounds | Surgical wounds, following closure should be simply cleansed with normal saline and patted dry with woven gauze prior to dressing. |
