**First Intention Wound Healing
|
Small Area, Little Tissue Damage, Clean Wound, Edges of wound closer together, Easier and faster to heal, Smaller scar.
|
|
|
Second Intention Wound Healing
|
Larger Area, Edges of skin much further apart, Larger amounts of granulation tissue to fill in the wound, Harder and Longer to heal, larger scar formed.
|
|
|
Systemic Influences that Delay Healing
|
A few include, Protein and amino acid deficiency, vitamin C deficiency
|
|
|
**** Local Influences that Delay Healing
|
INFECTION, poor bloody supply, diminished chemotaxis and phagocytosis
|
|
|
Thrombosis - 1
|
Is the solidification of a mass of blood components requiring the interaction of blood elements, clotting cascade, and blood vessel or heart wall.
|
|
|
Thrombosis - 2

The risks of thrombosis increases with obesity, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use, and surgery. |
|
|
Thrombosis - 3
|
Thrombosis causes **congestion and edema** in the affected vessels as well as ischemia in the brain tissue supplied by the vessel.
|
|
|
Embolism
|
Embolism broken thrombi that is detached and carried via blood circulation to another sight causing occlusion.
|
|
|
Embolism: negative effects
|
An embolus cuts of circulation in the cerebral vasculature by lodging in a narrow portion of an artery, causing necrosis and edema. In turn may cause a stoke.
|
|
|
Hypervolemia and third spacing
*review page 4-8 |
Third Spacing: Volume accumulation in an area its not supposed to accumulate.
May result from Intestinal Obstruction, Edema, Ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen), Burns, also ***associated with RHF***, allergies, histamine release, mast cell degranulation |
