The skin plays an important role in the human immune system, working as a barrier to pathologic influences. A chronic wound breaks that barrier and eliminates that function. Affected patients can suffer from significant reductions in quality of life and become socially isolated. The inability to work may have serious economic consequences for the individual and the community. Treating these wounds with novel, evidence-based techniques can accelerate wound healing while reducing the length of in- and outpatient treatment and thereby the overall costs. This article discusses current and future treatment options in wound conditioning, therapy, and regeneration.
皮肤在人体免疫系统中发挥着重要作用,作为抵御病理影响的屏障。慢性伤口破坏了这一屏障并消除了该功能。受影响的患者生活质量可能会大幅下降,并在社交上变得孤立。无法工作可能会给个人和社区带来严重的经济后果。采用新颖的、基于证据的技术治疗这些伤口可以加速伤口愈合,同时缩短住院和门诊治疗时间,从而降低总体成本。本文讨论了伤口预处理、治疗和再生方面当前和未来的治疗选择。
