Factors Affecting Healing, Recovery and Outcome after Injury

Shields DW

Following injury, any casualty will attempt to restore the state, which they were in prior to the incident. This period varies greatly in time and is supplemented by interventions during this time, such as resuscitationand surgical intervention. By physiologically and anatomically stabilizing a patient, they are simply ‘pointed’ in the correct direction. What follows is a period of resolution, which gives rise to an outcome based upon the nature of the injury, the adequacy of intervention, and the efficiency of healing/recovery.
