Q

What happens in the vascular phase of inflammation

A

Initially vasoconstriction occurs of the distributed vessels
This slows the blood flow into the injured area and promotes co angulation

25
What happens in the proliferative paste of wound healing
1. Fibrin strands form structure for fibroblasts to lay ground substance tropocollagen 2. Capillary formation 3. Collagen formation
26
Which phase follows the proliferative phase
Re modelling
27
How long does the remodelling phase last
Continues indefinitely
28
What happens in the remodelling phase
1. Previous collagen fibres are destroyed and replaced by new collagen that is orientated better 2. Wound strength slowly increases 3. Vascularity decreases as does erythema
29
What considerations do we need to take for good healing
1. Foreign material in wound site 2. Necrotic tissue present 3. Ischaemia 4. Wound tension
30
What foreign material can be present in the wound site
1. Bacteria 2. Dirt 3. Suture material 4. Anything not natural
31
What can happen if there is foreign Materia present int eh wound site
Chronic inflammatory reaction
32
Why is necrotic tissue in the wound site bad
1. As It acts as a barrier to ingrowth of reparative cells 2. It also prolongs the inflammatory state for white blood cells 3. Can be nutrients for bacteria
33
What is ischaemia
Reduction in blood supply affecting healing
34
Why is ischaemia bad
1. Further tissue necrosis occurs 2. Reduction in the delivery of wound antibiotic white blood cells and antibiotics
35
Why can ischaemia occur
1. Sutures 2. Poor flap design 3. Excessive external pressure 4. Internal pressure 5. Systemic BP Issues 6. Peripheral vascular disease 7. Anaemia
36
When can tension in the would site occur
If sutures are too tight
37
Why is tension bad
Can cause ischaemia and excessive scar formation as well as wound contraction
38
What patient factors might affect wound healing
1. Age 2. Medical history 3. Drug history 4. BMI 5. Social history 6. Anxiety
39
How can age affect wound healing

40
Which drugs can affect wound healing
1. Anticolagualnts 2. Steroids 3. Bisphosphonates 4. Immunosuppressive
41
How can BMI affect healing
Higher BMI: 1. Smaller mouths so harder to access 2. Bigger necks so airway problems 3. May have additional medical problems
42
What operator factors might affect wound healing
1. Competence 2. Experience 3. Environment 4. Assistance
43
What surgical factors might affect wound healing
