Malnutrition in wound healing disorders The development of impaired wound healing and pressure ulcers (also called decubitus ulcers) is promoted by poor nutritional status, especially insufficient calorie and protein intake. Recommendations for nutritional therapy After pressure relief and professional wound care, medical nutrition is also an important component in the overall treatment of impaired wound healing and pressure ulcers. Generally, patients are advised to follow a diet rich in energy and protein, with the amount always depending on individual needs and the extent of the impaired wound healing or the severity of the pressure ulcer. In addition, the intake of arginine (an amino acid) as well as vitamins and minerals (especially carotenoids, vitamins A, C and E, as well as zinc and selenium) can also be beneficial.
