  • Title: The basic principles of wound care.
    Author: Keast DH, Orsted H.
    Journal: Ostomy Wound Manage; 1998 Aug; 44(8):24-8, 30-1. PubMed ID: 9782957.
    Abstract:
    A chronic wound should prompt a search for the underlying causes. Knowledge of the physiology of the normal wound healing trajectory through the stages of hemostasis, inflammation, granulation, and maturation provides a framework for understanding the advantages of moist interactive wound healing. Good chronic wound care is patient-centered, holistic, interdisciplinary, and evidence-based.
