Fourth degree
into muscle and bone
painless
black and charred
requires excision (amputation)
patient may die
escharotomy
cut through dead skin to allow for swelling
Tissue regeneration
replacement of dead or damaged cells by the same cell type; restores normal function
Tissue fibrosis
replacement of damaged tissue with scar tissue
does not restore normal function
Bleeding into wound is the _____ stage of healing.
first
__________&__________ : second stage of healing
