Inflammation and Healing Flashcards
Resolution Healing
Minimal Tissue Damage
Regeneration Healing
Damaged Tissue replaced by cells that are functional
Replacement Healing
Functional Tissue Replaced by scar tissue
Healing by Primary Intention
Sutures; approximately wound edges; all areas healing at the same time
Healing by Secondary Intention
Healing from the bottom up; greater risk for infection
Factors that promote healing
young; adequate nutrition, adequate hemoglobin; efficient circulation; no infection or further trauma; clean and undisturbed
Factors that impede healing
old age; inadequate nutrition; hypovolemia; Infection; impaired epithelialization; impaired collagen synthesis; hemorrhage; infection
Dehiscence
reopening of a closed wound
