摘要:The purpose of changing wound dressings is to promote wound healing. To prevent wound infection or colonization with pathogens, hygienically correct wound care is necessary.
Every change of dressing must be performed in accordance with aseptic or - if necessary - antiseptic principles. Following preparation of the dressing cart (or tray), the non-aseptic phase is performed, followed by the aseptic phase. The first rule of infection prevention is correct hand hygiene (hand disinfection, protective gloves). Depending on the wound situation, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures (mouth/nose mask, smock). Subsequently, wound documentation is done.
