containing serum and blood
|
seroanguineous
|
|
thin, watery, serum-like
|
serous
|
|
who are most susceptible to skin disruption
|
very young and very old
|
|
what is used for predicting pressure ulcer sore risk?
|
braden scale
|
|
what stage pressure ulcer?...intact skin with non-blanchable redness of localized area, usually over bony prominence; area my be painful, firm, soft, warm or cooler, as compared to adjacent tissue
|
Stage I pressure ulcer
|
|
what stage pressure ulcer?...partial-thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough; may also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister; presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising
|
stage II pressure ulcer
|
|
what does bruising indicate?
|
suspected deep tissue injury
|
|
what stage pressure ulcer?...full-thickness tissue loss. subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed. slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. may include undermining and tunneling. bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable. the depth of this stage varies by anatomic location
|
stage III pressure ulcer
|
|
full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. often includes undermining and tunneling. depth of ulcer varies by anatomic location. can extend into muscle or bone or supporting structures making osteomyelitis possible. exposed bone/tendon is visible or directly palpable
|
stage IV pressure ulcer
|
|
what stage pressure ulcer?...full thickness tissue loss in which base of ulcer is covered by slough and or eschar in the wound bed
|
unstageable pressure ulcer
|
|
purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and or shear. the area my be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer, or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.
|
suspected deep tissue injury
|
|
nonviable or necrotic tissue that is white or yellow
|
slough
|
|
nonviable or necrotic tissue that is brown to black
|
eschar
|
|
chemical messengers that are involved in wound healing
|
growth factors
|
|
the phase of wound healing that begins immediately upon wounding with the onset of vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and clot formation
|
hemostasis
|
|
this phase of wound healing lasts about three days and is marked by vasodilation and phagocytosis as the body works to clean the wound to begin the repair process
|
inflammatory phase
|
|
what are the phases of wound healing in partial thickness wound repair?
|
hemostasis, inflammatory phase, and proliferative phase
|
|
what are the phases of wound healing in full thickness wound repair?
|
hemostasis
inflammatory phase proliferative phase maturation |
|
in the proliferative phase of partial thickness wound repair, what does it begin with?
|
epithelialization
|
|
in the proliferative phase of full thickness wound repair, what does it begin with?
|
development of granulation tissue
|
|
pulling the wound inward, leading to decrease in depth and dimension of the wound
|
contracture
|
|
the number of fibroblasts decreases, collagen synthesis stabilizes, and collagen fibrils become increasingly organized, resulting in greater tensile strength of the wound
|
maturation
|
|
wounds with minimal tissue loss, such as clean surgical incisions or shallow sutured wounds heal by_______ ________
|
primary intention
|
|
the edge of a ______ wound are approximated; granulation tissue is not visible, and scarring is usually minimal
|
primary
|
|
wounds with full-thickness tissue loss, such as deep lacerations, burns, and pressure ulcers, have edges that do not readily approximate and they heal by ______ _______
|
secondary intention
|
|
type of wound healing: open wound gradually fills with granulation tissue, eventually epithelial cells migrate across granulation base, completing cycle; scarring is more prevalent
|
secondary intention
|
|
type of healing that occurs when a delay ensues between injury and wound closure
|
tertiary intention
|
|
tertiary intention is also known as what?
|
delayed primary closure
|
|
type of wound healing that may happen when a deep wound is not sutured immediately or is purposely left open until there is no sign of infection and then closed with sutures
|
tertiary intention
|
|
