2 parts of initial patient assessment?
Systemic assessment
wound assessment
3 big systemic systems to assess/
Cardiovascular
respiratory
BCS
What is the golden period
3 forms of wound assessment
visual exam
digital exam
diagnostic imaging
4 parts to a visual exam
location
extent
age
condition
For a digital exam you should probable do what 3 things?
Sedate
Sterile lube in the wound
Clip and prep
Objective of a digital exam?
Explore the wound and the involved structures
main goal if diagnostic imaging?
Assess the bone!
3 goals of wound debridement?
Remove contamination
remove devitalized tissue
eliminate infection
3 forms of debridement
Sharp dissection
Curettage
irrigation
What is the ideal pressure for wound lavage?
7 psi
3 types of lavage instruments?
garden hose
syringe
pulsavac
2 properties lavage solutions should ideally have?
Nonirritating
bactericidal
4 examples of lavage solutions
saline
lactated ringers
providone iodine
chlorohexidine
How does provodone iodine function at 1% 0.5%?
1% - bactericidal and non irritating
>0.5% - histotoxic and inhibits neutrophil migration
With 1% solution of provodone iodine you should use?
1:10 dilution
When does chlorohex become histotoxic? bactericidal?
- 02
0. 05
What dilution for chlorohex should be used for the 0.05% solution
1:40
What are 3 other lavage solutions that can be used
Chlorohecidine TrisEDTA (0.0005%) (can be used in synovial structures)
- 25% neomycin
- 1% gentocin
3 places where antibiotics should be used in wounds?
