19 kwi 2024 · A range of factors can result in slow wound healing. They include older age, certain health conditions and medications, nutritional deficiencies, tobacco use, and others.
Thus there is slower healing and increased risk for recurrence with any mechanical force. Wound healing is inhibited in the inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases by the mechanisms listed in Table 3.
20 cze 2023 · Acute wounds in normal, healthy individuals heal through an orderly sequence of physiologic events. Some individuals have one or more factors that contribute to impaired wound healing, which can lead to chronic ulcerations or nonhealing wounds, or can complicate the surgical course.
The factors discussed include oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. A better understanding of the influence of these factors on repair may lead to therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds.
Given the tight regulation of a multitude of factors required for proper wound healing, it is not surprising that chronic wounds are rather common. After an acute wound such as trauma, surgery, or even a bug bite, the above well-coordinated series of events come into play.
Accurate stratification of wounds for risk of slow healing may help guide treatment and referral decisions. We have applied modern machine learning methods and feature engineering to develop a predictive model for delayed wound healing that uses information collected during routine care in outpatient wound care centers.
4 wrz 2020 · Describe factors that are associated with better wound healing. Identify the wounds that are likely to experience impaired healing. Summarize the recent advances in wound care and treatments available. Explain how use of an interprofessional team leads to better outcomes in the care of wounds.
