integ/lymphatic Flashcards
this is the outer most layer of the skin and is avascular and water-resistant
epidermis
this is 20-30x thicker than the epidermis. contains blood vessels and lymphatics, nerves, and nerve endings, and sensory neurons, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands and nails
dermis
this layer consists of dead keratinized cells (is the horny layer)
stratum corneum
this is found in areas with thicker epidermis (ex: palms, soles of feet)
stratum lucidum
this produces keratin
stratum granulosum
this provides strength and flexibility
stratum spinosum
this is where new epithelial cells are produced
stratum basale
this is the underlying layer of connective tissue, contains blood vessels, lymphatics which nourish the epidermis
dermis
panincian corpusules are found where
reticular layer of the dermis
these are all examples of accessory structures
hair follicles, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands
this functions as calorie reserve, shock absorption and padding and is not well vascularized
adipose
this is wound closure by use of sutures or staples
primary intention
this is healing by natural wound closure by the healing cascde
secondary intention
debridement is an example of this
tertiary healing or delayed primary intention
this method is used in contaminated wounds with excessive tissue loss
delayed primary intention
loss of epidermis only
superficial wound
loss of epidermis and dermis
partial thickness
loss of dermis, subcutaneous fat and sometimes bone
full thickness
skin appendages are intact (hair follicles and pores) with this type of wound
partial thickness
this type of wound heals primarily by epithelialization
partial thickness
these wounds heal by contraction and scar tissue formation
full thickness wounds
when healed, these types of wounds lack tensile strength
full thickness
this is a chemical mediator released by injured mast cells - it cause vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
histamine
histamine causes what
vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
this is necessary to kickstart the healing cascade
inflammation! ! ! !
these stimulate angiogenesis
growth factors
this manufactures collagen
fibroblasts ?
this requires a moist environment
migration of epithelial cells
red, beefy, glossy slightly bumpy area
granulation tissue
this occurs when granulation tissue rises above the level of the surrounding skin
hypergranulation
when new epidermal cells touch one another, cell division stops due to
contact inhibition
this is when the wound bed is too dry
desiccation
this is when the wound bed has too much moisture
maceration
this is the most common type of burn
thermal
this type of burn only involves the superficial layers of the epidermis - skin will appear pink or bright red and it will blanch when pressure is applied
epidermal burn
this involves epidermis and top layer of dermis and is extremely painful because of exposed nerve endings. it will blister and cause moistening/weeping skin
superficial partial thickness burn
this type of burn affects epidermis, superficial dermis, and skin appendages & will cause damage to sensory nerves, does not blanch under pressure, no blisters
deep partial thickness burn
this may not be as painful as superficial second degree burns
deep partial thickness burn
epidermis and dermis are affected, complete destruction of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, destruction of sensory nerves
full thickness burns
this degree burn has a high risk of hypertrophic scarring
full thickness burn
this burn will have charred black skin and is usually caused by electrical injury - underlying muscle, tendon, ligament and bone can be affected
subdermal burn
central portion of wound, irreparable cell damage, may expand up to 48 hours after initial injury
zone of coagulation
zone of cellular injury, decreased tissue perfusion, can form tiny emboli that further impede
zone of stasis
outermost edge of tissue damage, minimal tissue injury, redness due to vasodilation
zone of hyperemia
abnormal growth of bone tissue imbedded within soft tissue
heterotypic ossification
this begins at the time of injury and concludes with restoration of the capillary permeability 48-72 hours
emergent
this begins with initiation of decrease in fluids & ends when capillary integrity returns to near normal, large fluid shifts have decreased
resuscitation
pain rating scales used as outcome measures in burn assessment
VAS
0 to 10 pain scale
Brief pain inventory
McGill Pain Questionnaire
surgical incision thorugh eschar into subcutaneous tissue, releases inelastic necrotic tissue that may compromise circulation
escharotomy
this is often seen with circumferential burns
escharotomy
muscle/bone is pulled in one direction while surface tissues are pulled in an opposite direction
shear
this leads to distortion/damage to blood vessels, usually at deep tissue level
shear
why is it important to know about that history of pressure injuries
because if hx of pressure injury - after pressure injury they never rully regain skin thickness
this is a tool that utilizes six subscales in order to assess a pressure injury
braden scale
this looks at five categories in order to assess a pressure ulcer
norton pressure ulcer scale
this is an assessment tool that takes DM, HTN, HCT, hemoglobin, albumin and fever into account
norton pressure ulcer scale
how often should pts turn when lying down in order to prevent pressure ulcer
2 hours
how often should pts shift to prevent pressure ulcer when sitting
every 15 minutes
when a pt is side lying they should avoid direct pressure on what
trochanter
not yet an open wound
nonblanachable erythema present
changes in skin texture and consistency is boggy
Stage I pressure injury
partial thickness that affects dermis and part of dermis
WILL include BLISTERS
stage II pressure injury
deep ulcer that has extensive necrosis
FULL thickness
Epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue involves - extends to BUT not through the subcutaneous fascia
Stage III pressure injury
FULL thickness, DEEP ulceration may have undermining…. involves epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue through the fascia to muscle, tendon, jt capsule and sometimes bone
Stage IV pressure injury
this has visual signs of necrotic tissue but no opening
suspected deep tissue injury
this is rated 0 to 7 based on observation of ulcer, higher scores represent severity of wound. this allows clinician to chart progress by subtracting score at reassessment from score at initial evaluation
sessing scale
this tool has 13 items rated from 1 to 5
pressure score status tool
this type of debridement removes necrotic tissue only, leaves uninvolved skin intact
selective
this involves the use of semipermeable flims, absorbent dressings
autolytic debridement
this involes the use of sharp or hydrotherapy
mechanical debridement
diabetic ulcers generally occur where
plantar aspect of the foot (but can also be found on the toes and dorsum depending on weight bearing load)
this is the primary risk factor for development of diabetic foot ulcers
DPN (diabetic peripheral neuropathy)
contributing factors to the onset of DPN
fluctuations in glucose levels, duration of DM, age, tobacco and/or alcohol use, patient height and gender, prolonged hyperglycemia
