Wound Healing, Burns and Rehabilitation Flashcards
Path of electrical resistance (least to greatest)
Nerve - Artery - Vein - Bone
Three Zones of Burn Injury
Coagulation, Stasis, Hyperemia
Zone of irreversible damage; (+) Necrosis
Zone of Coagulation
Zone of reversible cell damage; (+) Ischemia
Zone of Stasis
Zone of minimal cell damage; (+) Inflammation
Zone of Hyperemia
If the Zone of Stasisis not treated, how long before the cell death happens?
24-48 hours
Burn Classification: 3-4 days
