Q

Primary vs secondary vs tertiary healing by intention

A

Primary: wound edges clean, approximated by sutures, or if superficial partial thickness such as abrasion or blisters.
Secondary: Can’t be approximated. Require ongoing wound care, heal by migrating granulation tissue. Usually associated with pathology such as diabetes.
Tertiary: Delayed primary intention healing-wounds at risk for sepsis or dehiscence.

Q

Wound contamination vs colonization vs infection

A

Contam: The presence of non-replicationg bacteria on a wound surface that causes no additional tissue injury and does not stimulate an inflammatory response.
Colonization: Replication of bacteria on wound surface that does not invade or further injury, but can delay healing, or may actually help by preventing worse organisms from invading
Infection: Inflammatory, invading, significant delay of healing.
