Nutrition and Wound Healing
Copyright :


Nutrition is a critical factor in wound healing. It can lead to both the development of wounds and delayed wound healing. Wound patients are at increased risk of malnutrition from a variety of sources. This session reviews the specific physiologic use of micro and macro nutrients in addition to nutritional assessment techniques to identify and correct deficiencies in the wound patient.
