Integument Pt. 2 Flashcards
types of benign tumors
Seborrheic keratosis
Actinic keratosis
Nevi
Seborrheic keratosis
common in older adults
lesions of all different sizes; generally flat,
Actinic keratosis
- pre-malignant tumor
- caused by prolonged periods of unprotected sun exposure
Nevi
-caused by increased deposits of melanin on the skin
Vascular disorders
Cutaneous vasculitisUrticaria
Different types of Skin Cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Squamous Cells Carcinoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Most common cancer in the world
- Numerous subtypes
- Grows slowly, often ulcerates, develop crusts, and is firm to the touch
- Metastasis is rare
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
-More like to spread to other areas
-Tumor of the epidermis
-Second most common human cancer
-In situ or invasive
-Rarely invade surrounding tissue
pre-cursors: sun exposure and leukoplakia(mouth has white film or coating) generally caused by tobacco use
Burns Stages (table 41-8, pg. 10740
1st degree: affects the epidermis, sun burn
the skin is intact heals on its own
2nd degree: more severe, tissue damage goes down deeper into the skin causing blisters(filled with fluid)
3rd degree: Full thickness
-Epidermis, dermis, and underlying subcutaneous tissue
4th degree:(dont worry about this)
- Full-thickness and deeper tissue
- Epidermis, dermis, and underlying subcutaneous tissue, tendons, muscle, and bone
Why does a burn hurt
Nerve damage
What is a contract?
Burns that go around an extremity or joint to where once it heals it is not able to move as properly
How do you estimate a burn injury?
Slide 49
The rule of nines
**must Know this
What happens during major burns?
Fluid, electrolytes, and protein are loss into tissues. This leads to **edema, decreased BP, and hypovolemia
You loss fluid from the blood which enters the tissue leading to swelling, BP goes down heart rate goes up
What is Burn shock
Massive electrolyte and fluid loss
- decreased cardiac contractility and decreased cardiac output with inadequate capillary perfusion
- Fluid and protein move out of the circulatory system. Results in High Hct (hematocrit) and WBC and low protein
- the liver enlarges, because it is the site of blod clotting factors which is also affected; it increases the risk of blood clots forming
Burn Shock Continues (Slide 55 & 56)
Metabolic Shoots up
-Greater than 40% results in
Systemic hypermetabolic state (AKA flow phase)
-Increased internal temperature (this will affect core and skin temperature)
-Tachycardia, hypercapnia, and muscle wasting
- Inflammatory response
- Localized
- Cytokines are released
- Can lead to systemic response (high blood sugar)
-Impaired wound healing and decreased immune system
