17
Q

What happends during Hemostasis phase of wound healing?

A

Happends immediately after injury

BV constricts, blood clotting begins, pain and edema are present.

18
Q

What phase of wound healing is characterized by BV constriction, formation of blood clots with pain and edema?

A

Hemostasis

19
Q

Describe the inflmmatory phase of wound healing? How long does it typically last?

A

White blood cells move to wound to destroy bacteria, acute inflammation (pain, heat, redness, swelling and mild temp). Lasts about 2-3 days.

20
Q

What wound healing phase is characterized by WBC moving toward the wound, acute inflammation that lasts 2-3 days?

A

Inflammatory phase

21
Q

Describe proliferation phase. How long does it last?

A

Building of new tissue and scar tissue. Lasts several weeks.

22
Q

What phase in wound healing is characterized by fomation of new tissue and scar tissue that lasts for several weeks?

A

Proliferation phase

23
Q

Describe maturation phase. How long does it last?

A

Collagen in wound is remodeled. Begins after 3 wks of injury, may last for years.

24
Q

What phase in wound healing is characterized by collagen formation that begins 3wks after injury and lasts for years ahead?

A

Maturation (Remodeling) Phase

25
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

What are the names for the three stages of wound healing?

A

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Intentions.

26
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

Describe the Primary Intention stage of wound healing?

Stages of Wound Healing

What stage of wound healing is characterized by minimal tissue damage, approximated edges, most rapid healing, healed through staples or sutures.

Examples: lacerations or incisions

A

Primary intention healing.

28
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

Describe the secondary intention stage of wound healing?

A

Wound margins are not close together, large wound that requires granulation, scar tissue formation, can present signs of infection and drainage. Takes a little longer to heal.

29
Q

A

Secondary intention

30
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

Describe the tertiary stage of wound healing.

A

Delayed closure, wounds left open to reduce edema and infection and then closed, large infected wound.

31
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

What stage of wound healing is charecterized by delayed closure, wounds left open to reduce edema and infection and then closed, large infected wound.

A

Tertiary wound healing.
