“…1998 ), though others advocate the medical diagnosis of the patient’s condition before nursing assessment takes place ( Husband 1996). A number of writers advocate wound classification, particularly in terms of the wound’s appearance in relation to its stage of healing ( Cuzzell 1988, Loughry 1992, Benbow 1995), though others believe that wound classification can lead to inconsistency ( Flanagan 1994).…”

Sixty-two community nurses in northern England of grades B and D to H were interviewed by a team of four researchers. The interviews were semi-structured, and were tape-recorded, fully transcribed and content analysed. They were conducted as part of a larger study, the aim of which was to examine community nurses' perceptions of quality in nursing care. One of the main themes the work focused on was decision-making as an element of quality. Data relating to wound care were considered from the perspective of the insights they offered into clinical decision-making. Data were interpreted in the light of a literature review in which a distinction had been made between theories which represented clinical decision-making as a linear or staged process and those which represented it as intuitive. Within the former category, three sub-categories were suggested: theorists could be divided into 'pragmatists', 'systematisers' and those who advocated 'diagnostic reasoning'. The interpretation of the data suggested that the clinical decisions made by community nurses in the area of wound care appeared largely intuitive, yet were also closely related to 'diagnostic reasoning'. They were furthermore based on a range of sources of information and justified by a number of different types of rationale.

“…Typically, visual observations and surface measurements have been used to evaluate wound healing via the monitoring of wound size, color, odor, drainage and eschar (6,7). Such measurements, however, are restricted to the skin's surface and depend heavily on the experience of medical professionals, wound condition and treatment history (8).…”

Background: In vivo imaging of the complex cascade of events known to be pivotal elements in the healing of cutaneous wounds is a difficult but essential task. Current techniques are highly invasive, or lack the level of vascular and structural detail required for accurate evaluation, monitoring and treatment. We aimed to use an advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based angiography (OCTA) technique for the noninvasive, high resolution imaging of cutaneous wound healing.Methods: We used a clinical prototype OCTA to image, identify and track key vascular and structural adaptations known to occur throughout the healing process. Specific vascular parameters, such as diameter and density, were measured to aid our interpretations under a spatiotemporal framework.Results: We identified multiple distinct, yet overlapping stages, hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, and demonstrated the detailed vascularization and anatomical attributes underlying the multifactorial processes of dermatologic wound healing.Conclusions: OCTA provides an opportunity to both qualitatively and quantitatively assess the vascular response to acute cutaneous damage and in the future, may help to ascertain wound severity and possible healing outcomes; thus, enabling more effective treatment options.

“…granulation, slough, and necrotic), guiding medical decisions like the type of dressing and prediction of possible complications; secondly, colour has been one way of identifying basic symptoms of inflammation [8]. The Red-Yellow-Black (RYB) model [31] is the commonly accepted tissue classifying method on the basis of colour used by clinicians and wound nurses, and is not limited to any specific wound type, such as pressure or diabetic foot ulcers. However, it is highly related to clinician's experience, time consuming, and irritating for patients.…”

Digital photography as a non-invasive, simple, objective, reproducible, and practical imaging modality has been investigated for the wound healing assessment over the last three decades, and now has been widely used in clinical daily routine. Advances in the field of image analysis and computational intelligence techniques along with the improvements in digital camera instrumentation, expand the applications of standardized digital photography in diagnostic dermatology such as evaluation of tumours, erythema, and ulcers. A series of digital images taken at regular intervals carries the most informative wound healing indexes, color and dimension, that may help clinicians to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular treatment regimen, to relieve patient discomfort, to globally assess the healing kinetics, and to quantitatively compare different therapies; however, the extent of underlying tissue damage cannot be fully detected. This paper is an introductory review of the important investigations proposed by researchers in the context of clinical wound assessment. The principles of wound assessment using digital photography were shortly described, followed by review of the related literature in four main domains: wound tissue segmentation, automated wound area measurement, wound three dimensional (3D) analysis and volumetric measurement, and monitoring and evaluation of wound tissue changes during healing.
