Synopsis

This is a comprehensive textbook covering wound management. It is aimed specifically at nurses, but may also be of interest to other members of the health-care team. The book aims to clarify the areas of confusion surrounding wound care and provides guidelines for consistent wound management. In addition to covering topics such as the physiology of healing and the range of wound management products, the book adopts an holistic approach to the subject and an entire section is devoted to the care of a patient with a wound. Another section covers the general principles of wound management of patients with specific types of wounds and a series of case studies demonstrate the application of theory to practice. The book provides up-to-date, research-based knowledge which is clinically orientated.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The management of wounds is becoming increasingly complex with the constantly expanding range of wound management products and technologies. This text provides an essential resource in effective and efficient wound–care management.

The Care of Wounds has been written based on current research and drawing upon the author′s wide experience in the field of tissue viability. This completely revised new edition covers all aspects of wound management. It clarifies areas of concern surrounding wound care and provides clear guidelines for the consistent management of wounds. Case studies assist in making the link between theory and practice, and emphasize the need for a holistic and multi–professional approach. A new chapter has been included on developing effective clinical practice in wound care. The number of full colour photographs used to illustrate the text has been greatly expanded. The evidence is presented in an accessible way so that it allows the reader to use the book both as a reference source and as a manual when caring for patients with wounds.

Written primarily for nurses, this book is also of direct relevance to all healthcare professionals with an interest in wound care.
