7[blank_start]Debridement[blank_end] is a procedure in which the wound is flushed with saline solution, topical anesthetic is applied, and the necrotic tissue is grabbed with forceps and cut away with scalpel. It's appropriate for wounds with large amounts of infected or necrotic tissue.
[blank_start]Escharotomy[blank_end] is a procedure in which incisions are made along a damaged area to the release the pressure, and the swelling of the tissue causes the incisions to spread. The spreading incisions expose the underlying tissue and structures. This procedure is appropriate for full-thickness wounds that encircle or nearly encircle a body part and have formed eschar (such as burns).- ADebridement
- BEscharotomy

9In wounds that are healing correctly, [blank_start]infection[blank_end] prevention measures; [blank_start]compression[blank_end] bandages or hosiery; and diets high in protein, carbs, and vitamins may promote healing.
All of the following are procedures used for wounds that are not healing correctly:
[blank_start]Vacuum assisted closure[blank_end] is a process in which negative pressure is used to remove excess fluid from the wound, thus improving oxygenation and blood flow to the area and promoting formation of granulation tissue. Similarly, [blank_start]hyperbaric oxygen[blank_end] therapy improves oxygenation in nonhealing wounds.
[blank_start]Stem cells[blank_end] may be an appropriate regenerative cellular therapy This type of therapy introduces rapidly regenerating cells into the wound to promote healing.
[blank_start]Skin grafts or tissue grafts[blank_end] may also be appropriate in some cases. In these procedures, either the client's own skin or a donor's skin is placed into the wound to promote healing.
[blank_start]Biosurgery[blank_end] is a procedure in which maggots are placed on the wound to digest damage tissue. This may be used in nonhealing wounds with necrotic tissue or slough.- Acompression
- BVacuum assisted closure
- Chyperbaric oxygen
- DStem cells
- ESkin or tissue grafts
- FBiosurgery
- Ginfection
