Wound assessment in the accident and emergency (A&E) department has a different focus from that in other clinical areas because of the lack of available clinical information about the patient. A wound may have had a greater-physical impact than is immediately apparent and therefore a comprehensive skin assessment is often necessary. The wound will require thorough exploration and debridement to enable healing to take place with minimal complications. The methods of debridement and cleansing used in the A&E department are often unique because of the complexity of wound contamination. The variety of wounds encountered in this setting necessitate a large repertoire of dressing regimens. Modern wound management products can be adapted to meet the needs of the wounded patient in the A&E department.
由于缺乏关于患者的可用临床信息，急诊（A&E）科的伤口评估与其他临床领域有所不同。伤口可能造成的身体影响比乍看之下更大，因此通常需要进行全面的皮肤评估。伤口需要彻底探查和清创，以促进愈合并将并发症降至最低。由于伤口污染情况复杂，急诊科使用的清创和清洁方法往往独具特色。在此环境中遇到的各种伤口需要大量不同的敷料方案。现代伤口管理产品可加以调整，以满足急诊科受伤患者的需求。
