We often forget the importance of wound care.

Untreated wounds, no matter how small, are all potential pathways for harmful bacteria to our internal tissues.

These bacteria can hinder the wound healing process by causing infections and complications.

INFECTIONS

  1. Staph infection – caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. We commonly find these bacteria on our skin. Although these bacteria rarely cause diseases, when allowed to reproduce uncontrollably in an ideal environment (i.e. inside our body) they may affect multiple organs.
  2. Tetanus (lockjaw) – caused by Clostridium tetani. We commonly find these bacteria in the soil, dust and on the surface of metal objects. Once infected, symptoms include painful muscle spasms in the neck and jaw. If you have injured yourself with a rusty metal object, we strongly advise you to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
  3. Necrotizing fasciitis – also commonly known as ‘flesh-eating disease,’ this rare & severe infection is caused by A Streptococcus. It can lead to sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, multiple organ failure and even death. It is a severe medical condition that requires immediate medical treatment.

People suffering from chronic wounds are more susceptible to the many complications resulting from poorly treated wounds. Chronic wounds are harder to heal and treat because they don’t follow the predictable stages of healing in the usual time frame.

COMPLICATIONS

  1. Osteomyelitis – This infection spreads from the tissue surrounding the wound, into the bones below the wound site. It may require amputation if the wounds don’t respond to antibiotic treatment.
  2. Gangrene & Tissue Necrosis – Gangrene occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to body tissue. Necrosis is the premature death of cells because of external factors such as infection, toxins or trauma. These factors cause the cell components to be digested by the enzymes that are released as blood supply is restricted. If this complication doesn’t receive prompt treatment, it may lead to the need for surgical resection or amputation.
  3. Edema and Periwound Edema – Edema is the pooling of fluid in the tissues of the body. It can lead to reduced blood flow, decreased elasticity of blood vessels, and tightness around the wound that stops it closing and healing.

Proper wound management is essential to promote healing by stopping bleeding, absorbing excess secretions and aid in preventing infections. It also minimizes scarring and acts as a covering.
