Palliative Wound Care
Palliative wound care is an optional strategy to lessen suffering and improve the patient's quality of life in the event that the wound does not respond to treatment or if the patient is unable to tolerate it. On the other hand, the main focus of traditional wound care is healing the wound.
Palliative care is centered on managing indications and addressing issues related to end-of-life care, such as illness, discomfort, wound odor, exudate, and reduced quality of life. Most patients with palliative wounds have chronic illnesses of varying etiologies that can impair skin sensitivity and may even be fatal.
