Wound Care Flashcards
delayed primary intension wound healing is from blank tissue loss and when the wound is blank
large, contaminated
method of choice when tissue damage extends through full thickness of the skin
secondary intension wound healing by contraction
these draw wounds together
myofibroblasts
remodeling can take up to blank
2 years
healing rate takes longer than expected for a wound
chronic wound
there is no blank if there is no inflammation
healing
too much inflammation so no tissue grows and there is an increase in macrophage and fibroblast proliferation
chronic inflammation
wound rupturing along surgical suture line
dehiscence
wounds heal best when blank and blank
warm,wet
hydrotherapy can help for blank of the wound
debridement/circulation
blank with suction is good for infections/loose debris
pulsatile lavage
chronic diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers with absense of inflammatory phase can be helped by
ultrasound
used for slow or non healing wounds, necrotic wounds, or purulent infected wounds
uv light
stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers can be helped with blank
negative pressure therapy
negative pressure therapy that draws wounds together, provides direct and complete wound bed contact and evenly distributes negative pressure
vacuum assisted closure (macrostrain)
