Integ Exam Intro- Class 3 Flashcards
when did PT get involved with wounds
first and second world wars
were called reconstruction aides
primarily infected gun shot wounds
role of PT
sharp debridement
modalities
dressing selection
compression therapy
fxnal mobility
education
our role is
fxnal based
wound management
role –> fxnal based
biomechanics and fxnal mobility
strengthening and ROM
ADLs
discharge planning
pt education
biomechanics and fxnal mobility
WB considerations
mobility considerations
wound management –> role
wound assessments and interventions
pt eduacation
wound assessments and interventions
wound bed prep
dressing recommendations
wound care modalities
compression therapy
wound bed prep
debridement
layers of the skin
epidermis
dermis
subcutaneous tissue
fxn of the skin
protective
immunological
homeostasis
thermoregulation
neurosensory
social-interaction
metabolist
partial thickness would
includes the epidermis and part of the dermis
full thickness wound
through dermis
may extend into subcutaneous tissue, muscle and bone
wound
structural or physiological disruption of skin that incites normal or abnormal repair responses
acute wounds
heal in a timely manner
go through an expected course of tissue repair
chronic wounds
fail to heal in an expected time frame
arterial, venous, neuropathic nature
types of wound repair
primary intention
secondary intention
tertiary intension
primary intention
surgical intervention to heal a wound
secondary intension
our body heals on its own
the body granulates and create scar tissue on its own
epithelization to resurface the wound
tertiary intention
wound is left open for a reason
left open for 4-5 days
then cleaned out again and sewed back up
reasons to leave a wound open –> tertiary
allow infection, inflammation and moisture to leave the wound
avoid tension necrosis
all 3 types of healing…
go through the same 3 phases of healing
whats the difference b/w the 3 types of healing
scar tissue formation
phases of healing
inflammatory
proliferative
maturation
inflammatory phase –> signs
edema
erythema
warmth
pain
inflammatory phase characterized by
vascular and cellular response
inflammatory phase has a predominance of
leukocytes –> macrophages
proliferative phase
formation of granulation tissue and reepithelization
the proliferative phase includes
wound contraction
maturation phase
collagen fibers reorganize
scar strength 70-80% of normal skin
vascular response –> inflammatory phase
platelets activate
fibrinogen is converted
vasoconstriction
what is released during the vascular phase of the inflammatory phase
chemoattractant
_______ of leukocytes –> vascular response
margination
macrophages…. –> vascular response
predominate
the proliferative phase is predominated by
cellular activity to repair traumatized tissue
