Chronic Wounds
Dear patients,
dear family doctors and colleagues,
Wounds that last longer than 8 weeks are called chronic wounds.
Every chronic wound represents a considerable impairment for the patient due to pain, impaired mobilization, odor development and/or fluid leakage ("secretion"). In addition, every wound is a portal of entry for bacteria and therefore carries the risk of far more extensive infections up to and including sepsis.
Causes for the development of chronic wounds include various vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and poor nutritional status. In addition, incorrect positioning of patients and immobility lead to the development of pressure sores. In the field of general and visceral surgery, chronic wounds can develop after surgical interventions.
We therefore work closely with the respective departments on an interprofessional basis.
During the inpatient stay, we care for patients from a wide range of departments.
In our special consultation, we aim to identify the cause of the wound, initiate the necessary treatment and thus enable wound healing or prevent the occurrence of further wounds.
To care for inpatients, please contact Nurse Regine Kaiser (806102) or Mr. Negrini.
