Wound management is an ongoing treatment of a wound, by providing appropriate environment for healing, by both direct and indirect methods, together with the prevention of skin breakdown.

The basic principles for the management of a wound are:

· Haemostasis

· Cleaning the wound

· Analgesia

· Skin closure

· Dressing and follow-up advice

These principles can be applied to any simple wound, yet always involve your senior colleagues for advice and input as necessary.

Always remember your own personal protection when assessing a wound, including gloves, apron or gown, and goggles/visors

· Haemostasis

Haemostasis is the process that causes bleeding to stop. In most wounds, haemostasis will be spontaneous.

In cases of significant injury or laceration of vessels, steps may need to be taken to reduce bleeding and aid haemostasis. These include pressure, elevation, tourniquet, or suturing.
