Diabetic and Ischemic Wound
摘要
Diabetic and ischemic wounds are common nonhealing chronic wounds. This abstract provides an overview of chronic wounds, including their etiology, pathophysiology, and strategic management. Chronic wounds arise from various underlying conditions, such as venous insufficiency, arterial disease, diabetes mellitus, and pressure ulcers. Understanding the complex interplay of factors contributing to chronic wound development is crucial for effective treatment strategies. The pathological processes involve impaired cellular function, disrupted wound healing phases, and persistent inflammation, resulting in prolonged tissue damage. Managing chronic wounds requires a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses wound assessment, optimization of systemic factors, wound bed preparation, infection control, and the implementation of advanced wound care modalities. Interventions, such as appropriate wound dressings, offloading techniques, negative pressure wound therapy, and cellular and tissue-based products, are essential in promoting wound healing. Furthermore, emerging technologies, such as bioactive dressings, growth factors, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and regenerative medicine, offer promising aspects for wound resolution.
