SFA 204 Flashcards
WHICH BLOOD CELLS ARE MOST INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE HEMOSTATIC PROCESS?
PLATELETS
CONTROL OF MAJOR VASCULAR BLEEDING BOTH ARTERIAL OR VENOUS USUALLY REQUIRE?
HEMOSTATIC CLAMPS & LIGATURE
THE PRIMARY DISADVANTAGE OF CAUTERY TO OBTAIN SURGICAL HEMOSTASIS IS THE:
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE TISSUE DAMAGE WHICH CAN DELAY WOUND HEALING
THIS SUBSTANCE BREAKS DOWN FIBRINOGEN AND MAY BE SPRAYED ONTO SURFACES TO INHIBIT BLEEDING?
THROMBIN
FIBRIN GLUE IN A MIXTURE OF:
FIBRINOGEN & THROMBIN
CAN TOPICAL HEMOSTATS BE USED ALONE TO CONTROL ARTERIAL BLEED?
NO, NOT FOR ARTERIAL BLEEDING
THE TYPE OF TOPICAL HEMOSTAT THAT PROVIDES THE FASTEST HEMOSTASIS IS?
FIBRIN GLUE
WHAT IS THE SUTURING TENSIL STRENGTH OF A WOUND AFTER 7 DAYS?
20% OF UNINJURED TISSUE
WHAT WILL BE THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF A COMPLETELY HEALED WOUND?
80% OF UNINJURED TISSUE
BACTERMEMIA IS:
THE PRESENCE OF BACTERIA IN THE BLOOD
CELLULITIS IS:
INFLAMMATION OF SKIN, USUALLY AFFECTS LOWER LEGS
WHAT IS A CICATRIX?
SCAR
COLLAGEN IS:
THE PROTEIN SUBSTANCE OF COMMECTIVE TISSUES
DEBRIDMENT IS:
THE REMOVAL OF FOREIGN MATERIAL OR DEAD TISSUE
DEHISCENCE IS:
THE SEPARATION OF THE LAYERS OF A SURGICAL WOUND AND/OR THE FALLING APART OF A WOUND
DEVITALIZED IS:
TO DEPRIVE OF VITALITY OF LIFE AND/OR THE DEATH OF TISSUE
AN ELECTROLYTE IS:
CAN INCLUDE: SODIUM, CHLORIDE, SUBSTANCE THAT DISSOCIATES-ASSOCIATES INTO IONS WHEN IN SOLUTION, POTASSIUM
ENDOCRINE MEANS:
PERTAINING TO INTERNAL SECRETION OF A HORMONAL NATURE
ENZYME MEANS:
A PROTEIN MOLECULE THAT PARTICIPATES IN A CHEMICAL REATION BY SPEEDING THE CHEMICAL REACTION
EPINEPHRINE IS:
A VOSOCONSTRICTIVE AGENT THAT CAUSES BLOOD VESSELS TO NARROW OR SHRINK DOWN
ERYTHEMATOUS MEANS:
REDNESS OF THE SKIN
FIBROBLASRS ARE:
CONNECTIVE-TISSUE CELL PRODUCING COLLAGEN
GANGRENE IS:
DEATH OF TISSUE DUE TO A LOSS OF VASCULAR SUPPLY FOLLOWED BY INFECTION
MOST COMMONLY CAUSED BY BACTERIA CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS
THE FORMATION IN WOUNDS OR FLESHY MASSES, WHICH INCLUDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF NEW BLOOD VESSELS, DURING THE HEALING PROCESS IS:
GRANULATION TISSUE
A COLLECTION OF BLOOD IN AN ORGAN OR TISSUE DUE TO A BREAK IN TEH WALL OF THE BLOOD VESSEL IS:
HEMATOMA, THE SWOLLEN SPACE THAT CONTAINS BLOOD
THE INTERRUPTION OF THE FLOW OF BLOOD THROUGH ANY VESSEL TO ANY ANATOMICAL AREA IS KNOWN AS:
HEMOSTASIS
THE OVERGROWTH OF SCAR TISSUE IS KNOWN AS:
HYPERTROPHIC SCAR
THE BODY SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS AGAINS INFECTION AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE IS KNOWN AS:
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
THE BODY’S PROTECTIVE RESPONSE CAUSE BY INJURY OR DESTRUCTION OF TISSUE IS KNOWN AS:
INFLAMMATION
KELOIDS ARE:
ENLARGED SCAR DUE TO FORMATION OF EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF COLLAGEN
LYMPHOCYTES ARE:
WBCS FOUND I THE BLOOD, LYMPH, AND LYMPHOID TISSUES
THE SUM OF ALL THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESS BY WHICH LIVING ORGANISMS MAINTAIN THEIR FUNCTION AND SURVIVE IS KNOWN AS:
METABOLIC FUNCTIONS
A SEROMA IS ALSO KNOWN AS:
A COLLECTION OF SERUM IN THE TISSUES
SERUM IS:
A BODY FLIUID CONSISTING OR VASCULAR FLUID DEVOID OF RBCS
VISCERA DESCRIBES:
THE INTERNAL ORGANS LOCATED INSIDE THE BODY CAVITY
THE REMOVAL OF DAMAGED AND DEAD TISSUE IN A WOUND OCCURS DURING (STAGE);
THE INFLAMMATION STAGE
SCAR MATURATION;
HAS A VARIABLE DURATION DEPENDING UPON THE SPECIFIC TYPE OF TISSUES THAT ARE WOUNDED
THE EPIDERMIS IS PART OF THE:
SKIN (OUTER)
