Tips for wound managements:
1. Effective wound irrigation is determined by amount of solution used , not by solution type – even running tap water is fine
2. Irrigation pressure should remove bacteria from the wound not damaging the tissue
3. Necrotic tissue should be debridement, if tissue scarcity is there wait and reassess later
4. Topical agent applied at right time is essential to healing , incorrect agents applied at wrong time are detrimental
5. Cover the wound with contact layer bandage after application of topical agents
6. Honey and sugar have unique antibacterial activity which makes them ideal topical agent
7. Tie over bandages are perfect for covering for hard to bandage areas
8. A butterfly catheter can be a active closed drain if need in cases
