1 CONCLUSION Embrace the Call to Wound Prevention and Care A challenging career Be part of an interprofessional team Help patients, families, communities Commit to lifelong learning To cure occasionally, To relieve often, To comfort always. ~Hippocrates CHRONIC WOUND CARE: The Essentials e-book 341

4 Plate 8. Sequence of wound healing. Normal skin wound healing proceeds through the 4 phases of hemostasis, inflammation, repair, and remodeling. Most chronic wounds get stuck in a prolonged inflammatory phase that prevents the wound from moving into an effective repair phase. Adapted from Schultz GS, Ladwig G, Wysocki A. Extracellular matrix: review of its roles in acute and chronic wounds. Available at: Matric-Acute-Chronic-Wounds.html. Chapter 3, p17. Plate 9. Neutrophils and macrophages perform critical functions in acute wounds by engulfing and killing bacteria and fungi by generation of ROS in endosomes and by releasing proteases that debride the acute wound bed. Chapter 3, p CHRONIC WOUND CARE: The Essentials e-book
5 Plate 10. Biofilms in chronic wounds. Planktonic bacteria typically convert into biofilm communities when the levels of quorum molecules reach a threshold and change the pattern of bacterial gene expression. In the spectrum of bacterial bioburden, the concept of critical colonization probably reflects the presence of biofilms, which are not detected by standard clinical microbiology laboratory measurements. Reprinted from Phillips P, Sampson E, Yang Q, et al. Bacterial biofilms in wounds. Wound Healing S Africa. Available at: Chapter 3, p20. Plate 11. Imbalanced molecular and cellular environments of healing and chronic wounds. The molecular and cellular environment of acute healing wounds is dramatically different than that of chronic wounds and must be rebalanced to approximate the environment of healing wounds before healing can progress. Adapted with permission from Mast BA, Schultz GS. Interactions of cytokines, growth factors, and proteases in acute and chronic wounds. Wound Repair Regen. 1996;4(4):411. Chapter 3, p23.
