Chapter 5: Principles of Wound Care Flashcards
Cellulitis
Inflammation of cellular or connective tissue
Angiogenesis
Formation of new granulation vessels
Colonization
Refers to the presence of bacteria that cause no local the systemic indication of infection
Friction
Is the mechanical force exerted and skin rubs against the course surface such as by bed linens
Mace ration
Is the softening of tissue buy wedding or soaking
Sloughing
Is the separation of the necrotic tissue from viable tissue
Shearing
Trauma caused by tissue layers sliding against one another; the results in a disruption of strangulation of blood vessels into result in skincare injuries.
Healing by primary intention
The Runa surge of the clothes for example sutures staples, glue, or Steri-Strips granulation tissue isn’t apparent
Healing by secondary intention
The ones edges are too far apart to be surgically clothes in there is marked tissue loss doing is instead a close naturally by the formation of adhesion of granulation tissue epithelization. Examples include pressure ulcers dehisced surgical wounds traumatic injuries
Tertiary intention
Also known as the leader primary closure there is a delay in one closer resulting in granulation of the leader surgical closure result in more scar formation
Hemostasis
A brief period of vasoconstriction the site of injury is the body attempts to prevent excess leaving
Inflammatory phase
Starts right after injury and last 2 to 6 days this defensive reaction to tissue injury involves increased blood flow and capillary permeability it and it’s in phagocytosis autolytic debridement. It is marked by increased heat redness and swelling in feet in the affected area
Proliferative phase
Granulation tissue forms at epithelialization begins
Granulation
Pink to red moist tissue that contains new blood vessels, collagen, fibroblasts and inflammatory cells.
Epithelialization
Epithelial cells migrate across the wounds surface forming a layer a new tissue, they look silvery and form a perimeter around the granulation tissue
