Day 2 - Wound healing to tetanus Flashcards
Classifications of wounds (4)
- Mechanical caused trauma (biggest group)
o Open injuries, wounds
o Closed injuries (commotion, rupture, etc.)
o Bone fracture - Chemicals caused injuries
o Acids – cause coagulation necrosis
o bases – cause colliquative necrosis - Thermal origin injuries
- Radioactive injuries
Burn – combustion
1 degree
C. Erythematosa
Dry fur, swollen skin, edema, warm, loss of epithels
Burn – combustion
2 degree
C. Bullosa
Vasodilation, leak of serum, vesicles
The base of this type of burn is the corium
* Origin of the pain
Burn – combustion
3 degree
C. Escharctica
Cell injuries, protein aggregation, thrombosis, necrosis
Burn – combustion
4 degree
Carbonisation
Frostbite – congelation
1 degree
Ischemia, hyperaemic, leak of serum, not sensitive
Frostbite – congelation
2 degree
Stasis, thrombus, vesicles, infection
Frostbite – congelation
3 degree
Cell degeneration, stop of circulation, necrosis, loss of larger body parts
Classification of wounds
- Localisation
- Shape and size
- Types
- Origin
- Age
- Healing stadium
- In what way
INCISED WOUNDS (VULNUS SCISSUM ET CAESUM)
- Produced by sharp objects
- Tissue damage minimal (in most cases)
- Edges of wound linear and smooth
- Pain minimal
- Underlying tissue damaged only in the line of the wounds
- Prognosis good
LACERATED WOUNDS (VULNUS LACERUM S. RUPTUM)
- Produced by irregular objects
- Tissue damage extensive
- Edges of wound smooth
- Lacerated, loss of material
- Pain painful
- Underlying tissue extensive damage
- Prognosis depends on the injury
- Secondary healing
- In summer: be careful with myiasis
CONCENTRATION DEPENDENT
- Aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolines
Time dependent
b-lactams and macrolides
have to be above MIC to have an effect
What AB do we normally use?
Bacteriostatics
* Penicillin
* Cephalosporin
* Trimethoprim/sulphonamide
What do we use for regional limb perfusion?
Amikacin
INTERRUPTED VERTICAL MATTRESS SUTURE
Better tension holding than interupted horizontal
Skin, subcutis, fascia
