Q

What are the outcomes involved in the wound healing repair process?

A

Total reconstruction by regeneration or resolution
Partial reconstruction
Universal repair tissue (fibrous scar)

18
Q

What are the four components of wound healing and repair?

A

Angiogenesis (proliferating endothelial cells)
Proliferating fibroblasts
Deposition of ECM
Remodeling of CT

19
Q

What is granulation tissue composed of?

A

Proliferating capillaries
Proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts
Extracellular fluid
Macrophages

20
Q

What are the functions of granulation tissue?

A

Fill in tissue “gaps”
Remove dead cell debris
Aid in wound contraction
Formation of “pre-scar”

21
Q

What is universal repair tissue equivalent to?

A

Fibrous connective tissue scar

22
Q

What is the first type of collagen laid down in wound healing?

A

Type III collagen

23
Q

What is the function of a myofibroblast?

A

Wound contraction for primary and secondary union healing

24
Q

Granulation tissue is always (Acute/Chronic)?

A

Acute

25
Q

What immune response is granulation tissue associated with?

A

Innate immune response

26
Q

What are the steps of primary and secondary union and timeframes?

A

Blood clot fills incision (4-16 minutes)
Neutrophils infiltrate (less than 24 hrs)
Epithelium continuity is restored (less than 24 hrs)
Macrophages infiltrate (Day 3)
Granulation tissue fills incision (Days 5-7)
Progressive Collagenization (Day 7)
Remodeling (3 months)

27
Q

What is different about a secondary union wound healing process?

A

More granulation tissue
Prolonged inflammatory response
More debris and inflammatory exudate
More scar tissue formation
More myofibroblast activity

28
Q

What are local factors that influence wound healing?

A

Type, size, and location
Vascular supply
Infection
Movement

29
Q

What are systemic factors that influence wound healing?

A

Circulatory status
Infection
Malnutrition

30
Q

What are examples of complications of normal wound healing?

A

Proud flesh, keloid, wound dehiscence, contracture

31
Q

Where are the highest amount of continuous capillaries located in the body which can be implicated in faster wound healing?

A

Face

32
Q

What is proud flesh?

A

Excessive granulation tissue

33
Q

What is a keloid?

A

Hypertrophic scar with excessive collagen deposition

34
Q

What is one way that a keloid commonly forms?

A

Piercings

35
Q

In what population is a keloid most common?

A

African American

36
Q

Diabetics have (Better/Worse) wound healing characteristics?

A

Worse

37
Q

What is wound dehiscence?

A

Mechanical stress resulting in the reopening of a scar or wound

38
Q

What is contracture?

A

Excessive wound contraction by myofibroblasts resulting in shortening of tendons

39
Q

What traumatic injury can result in excessive wound contracture?

A

3rd degree burns, Achilles rupture repair

40
Q

What are important characteristics/mechanisms regarding cauliflower ear?

A
  • Inflammatory serous or purulent exudate due to traumatic injury resulting in injury to an arteriole
  • may also result in dystrophic calcification
