Q

Hemostasis (immediate)

A

The first stage of wound healing is hemostasis, which involves the formation of a blood clot to stop bleeding. Platelets and clotting factors work together to form a clot and seal the wound.

Q

Inflamtion

A

(1-3 ) The second stage is inflammation, where white blood cells migrate to the wound site to remove debris and prevent infection. Inflammatory mediators are released, causing redness, swelling, pain and heat.

Q

Proliferation(3-21)

A

During the proliferation stage, new blood vessels form, and fibroblasts produce collagen to rebuild the damaged tissue. Epithelial cells also migrate to the wound site to cover it.

Q

Remording (21-to (1-2) years

A

The final stage is remodeling, where the newly formed tissue gradually gains strength and flexibility. Collagen fibers are rearranged and remodeled, resulting in a scar that becomes less noticeable over time.

Q

Primary Intention

A

Wound edges are approximated and closed with sutures, staples, or
adhesive strips. • Ideal for clean, surgical incisions with minimal tissue loss. • Promotes faster healing and minimal scarring.

Q

Delayed Primary Intention

A

Combines aspects of both primary and secondary intention. • Wound is initially left open to allow for drainage and infection control. • Once the wound is clean and infection-free, it is closed using primary
intention techniques.

Q

Soft, flexible tube made of latex or
silicone. • Indications: Used to drain fluids
from wounds and prevent fluid
accumulation. • Role in postoperative care:
Facilitates drainage of serous fluid

A

OPEN (E.G.PENROSE) DRAIN

17
Q

Closed suction drain with a bulb reservoir. • Indications: Used to drain fluids or blood
from surgical sites. • Role in postoperative care: Promotes
wound healing by preventing fluid
accumulation and reducing the risk of
infection.

A

CLOSED (E.G JACKSON-PRATT) DRAIN

18
Q

Large-bore tube inserted into the
pleural space. • Indications: Used to drain air, fluid, or
blood from the pleural cavity.
