The overall principles of wound management are the same for each type of wound. The size of the wound and the evacuation timeline, as well as resources available and level of training of the medical provider, will influence the wound management plan. In most cases, open wounds with contamination, devitalization, loss of tissue (skin, muscle, or bone), or infection will require a more complex treatment strategy because of the invasive nature of the wound, especially in the context of war wounds. Large abrasions still require careful cleansing and dressing with a high index of suspicion for skin infection. Careful evaluation of the wound should lead to development of a problem list in the event PFC will be required. The care provider should focus on anesthesia, debridement and irrigation, wound dressing, antimicrobial therapy, scheduled dressing changes, and pain control. In select cases, delayed primary closure (DPC) may be considered.
