( HS Zaveri-Hastings 078721 2023) Role of Nutrition in Wound Healing: What We Know So Far
Tracking # 20-1163062
Course overview
In this session, participants will learn the process and related stages of wound healing. Nutrition plays a key role in the overall outcome of wound healing and the cascade of wound healing can be severely interrupted by malnutrition. Hence, screening early and routinely is vital in the prevention and treatment of wounds. Nutrients are divided into macro (Carbohydrates, protein, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins/minerals) and each has a significant role to play in the process of wound healing. In this lecture, we shall hone-in on some of these key nutrients and elucidate their role further, with the use of the latest empirical data. Lastly, we will learn to put this theory to practice, by learning the latest international clinical practice guidelines and their application, with some case studies.
