Abstract

The nurse's role in the management of dressings in limb trauma is essential: conditioning of the patient, correct and complete assessment of the site concerned, before care is provided. She is a privileged partner in planning the follow-up. At each stage, the nurse must be aware of the tasks to be carried out so that the overall management leads to rapid and correct healing.

Keywords: cicatrisation; dressing; healing; infirmière; nurse; pansement; severe limb trauma; traumatisme grave de membre.
