RESUMEN
The process of wound healing is complicated and requires optimization of wound bed conditions locally through wound management and systemically through proper nutritional care. Although there are a variety of local and systemic factors that can adversely influence healing, the wound environment can be treated through proper dressings to decrease necrotic debris, bacterial load, and foreign bodies. In addition, maintaining or improving patient nutritional status will help the body to supply the necessary building blocks and cellular response for healing to take place.
