Abstract:
The time line of wound healing is altered by various local conditions, such as inflammation and neuropathy; however, the most important factor regulating the regional time line of healing is blood flow. Factors that can increase oxygen delivery to the regional tissue, such as supplemental oxygen, warmth, and sympathetic blockade, can accelerate the time line of healing.
