What is debridement?

Debridement is the most important, basic, and effective method for dealing with open injuries. Through debridement, a contaminated wound can be turned into a clean one, and an open injury can be converted into a closed one. Since debridement often requires appropriate enlargement of the wound, it is also called wound extension.

When is debridement applicable?

Debridement is suitable for treating fresh wounds. Its purpose is to make the wound clean by removing foreign bodies, necrotic, and infected tissues from open wounds. The basic principle of debridement is sterility, which must be strictly observed to facilitate wound healing. During debridement, it is necessary to repeatedly rinse the wound with a large amount of normal saline or hydrogen peroxide, which is one of the important steps in debridement care.

What should be noted during debridement?

The earlier debridement is performed after a wound occurs, the better the effect. It should be done within 6-8 hours after injury. If the wound is severely contaminated, it can become an infected wound within 4-6 hours. For mildly contaminated wounds with few necrotic areas and rich local blood supply, if treated with antibiotic wrapping in the early stage, the timing can be appropriately delayed, and debridement can also be performed after 12 hours. The scalp has strong anti-infective and healing abilities, so even if debridement is performed 72 hours later, the effect is still good.
