Every year, 200 million people occur in China, such as car accidents, falling from buildings, fights, occupational injuries and other kinds of trauma[1]。 In developed countries such as the United States, wounds are one of the common reasons people seek emergency medical help. Emergency departments in the United States treat approximately 11.8 million traumatic wounds each year[2]； More than 7.3 million of them were open wounds[3]With an estimated cost of more than $3 billion[4]If these wounds have complications such as infection, the cost will be greater[2]。 Emergency open wound management has become a major public health problem faced by the world. Emergency debridement and suture is a necessary technique for surgeons. Attaching importance to debridement can reduce wound infection and reduce or even eliminate antibiotics. Emphasis on suture technique can reduce scar formation and reduce trauma sequelae[5]。 However, in practice, doctors often operate according to their own experience, which lacks evidence-based medicine. In order to avoid the situation that debridement is feasible for everyone but the debridement procedures are not standardized and thus delays the condition, China Trauma Treatment Alliance, National Trauma Medicine Center and Trauma Treatment Center of Peking University People's Hospital organized some domestic experts and scholars to formulate this consensus, and summarized the steps of debridement, in order to improve the standardization of clinical debridement and suture of emergency open wounds, reduce the wound infection rate and improve the primary wound healing rate.
