Q

respiratory assessment

A
  1. BODY POSITIONING

    without stopping to breath, pausing for breath
    **7. STRIDOR
     High-pitched whistling sound (hear a lot in babies, if in adult, very serious. ALWAYS go to stridor patient first, everything else can wait)
     Caused by partial obstruction of larynx or trachea
  3. WHEEZE

Q

Inflammation (followed by what?) The flame became white and macros attracted the growth

A

(main point - redness, heat, pain)

Followed by vasodilation (heat and redness) → ↑capillary permeability leaking of plasma→ exudate→ swelling→ loss of function
Chemicals on tissues attract WBCs
WBC and macrophages migrate to injured site
Macrophages also attract growth factors for regeneration of epithelial cells and fibroblasts to fill in wound

UNSTAGEABLE PRESSURE INJURY

46

A

Behind ears from nasal cannula
Nasogastric tubes
Endotracheal tubes

47
Q

mucosal membrane - PI - can or can’t be staged?

A

Found on mucous membranes with a history of medical device at location of injury
Due to the anatomy of the tissue these injuries cannot be stage

48
Q

pressure injury stage I

A

skin is intact
Non-blanchable erythema
Not maroon or purple (Deep tissue injury)
Skin intact
Over bony prominence or device related
Area may be painful
Warmth or firmness compared to adjacent area
Difficult or assess in patients with dark skin tone or areas of hyperpigmentation

49
Q

PI stage 2 (color and what level of skin is exposed?) (a blister is on stage 2)

A

Partial thickness skin loss with exposed dermis
Wound bed viable, shallow, pink or red and moist
Intact serum filled or ruptured blister
No adipose tissue, granulation tissue, slough or eschar
May be mistakenly used to describe skin tears, burns, maceration, excoriation, incontinence associated dermatitis or, abrasions

50
Q

PI stage 3 (there are 3 stages for a fat granny, but fascists, muscle, and bone tend to be elsewhere)

A

Full thickness skin loss
Adipose and granulation tissue visible in the ulcer
Fascia, muscle, tendon, bone not visible

51
Q

PI stage 4 (everyone is on stage at 4, even ebola - BUT one isn’t completely covering)

A

Full thickness tissue loss
Exposed bone, tendon, muscle, tendons, ligaments
Epibole (rolled around edges) undermining and/or tunneling common
Slough or eschar may be present but does not completely obscure wound bed
May cause osteomyelitis if bone exposed

52
Q

PI unstageable**

A

UNSTAGEABLE PRESSURE INJURY
Obscured full-thickness tissue loss
Extent of tissue damage cannot be terminated d/t obscurity from slough or eschar
If slough or eschar removed (black stuff) from unstageable, it always reveals stage 3 or 4 PI

53
Q

pressure injury - deep tissue***(deep tissue deep purple)

A

Persistent nonblanchable deep red, maroon, or purple discoloration

Result of intense, prolonged pressure and shearing at bony prominence
May rapidly reveal the actual extent of tissue injury or resolve without tissue loss
Difficult to detect in dark skin tones (compared to adjacent tissue, may be painful and firm)

54
Q

Peripheral arterial disease (perry art is thin and dead)

A

Limits activity d/t pain and leads to muscle atrophy
Thin tissue that is prone to ischemia and necrosis
Need to restore arterial blood perfusion for wound healing

55
Q

Chronic venous disease (veins get edema)

A

Results in engorged tissue with high levels of waste products resulting in edema, ulceration, and breakdown

56
Q

critically colonized

A

(>100K per gram of tissue)

57
Q

wound assessment - what to measure and the q-tip

A

Measure dimensions
L X W X D

58
Q

wound assessment undermining (it’s literally just a mine)

A

Erosion under the wound edges, resulting in a large wound with a small opening
May have multiple directions

59
Q

tunneling

A

usually just in 1 direction

60
Q

Primary Intention - wound healing

A

just bringing the edges together) Wound involves minimal or no tissue loss
Edges approximated (sutures, staples, or surgical glue touching/closed)

61
Q

Secondary Intention - wound healing (the second you can’t close it)

A

Extensive tissue loss that prevents edges from approximating or because wound intentionally left open d/t contaminated/infected tissue/blood clot
Wound debrided or infection resolved then allowed to heal from inner layer to surface with beefy red granulation tissue (a type of connective tissue)

62
Q

Tertiary Intention - wound healing (tersh needs to wait)

A

Tertiary Intention (Delayed primary closure):
Initially wound healed by secondary intention
When there is no evidence of edema or infection, granulation tissue pulled together and wound edges sutured

Requires strict aseptic technique to prevent infection

63
Q

Scarring (my adhesions are to keloid and hypertrophy)

A

Hypertrophic scar -
Scar stays within boundaries of wound
Keloid-scar - outgrows border of injury; acts like a tumor
Adhesions: bands of scar tissue that form between or around organs e.g intestinal adhesions may lead to bowel obstructions

64
