Guidelines to aid healing of acute wounds by decreasing impediments of healing (original) (raw)

Achieving uniformity in wound care has been a long-standing goal among clinicians. The Wound Healing Society (WHS) undertook the development of treatment guidelines but faced challenges due to inconsistencies in definitions related to wounds and their healing processes. This paper presents guidelines aimed at facilitating the healing of acute wounds by understanding the impediments to recovery, highlighting the significance of leukocyte levels and the effects of blood transfusions on healing outcomes.
