|
|
Effects of applying heat
|
*Dilates peripheral blood vessels
*Increases tissue metabolism *Reduces blood viscosity & increases capillary permeability *Reduces muscle tension, spasm & joint stiffness *Helps releive pain-closes gateway that transmits pain stimulus |
|
|
Effects of applying cold
|
*Constricts peripheral blood vessles.
*Reduces muscle spasms *Promotes comfort *Use after direct trauma |

Serous Wound Drainage
|
Clear, watery drainage

Sanguineous Wound Drainage
|
Consist of red blood cells and looks like blood. Bright red means fresh bleeding, darker drainage indicates older bleeding

*Immobility
* Nutrition & Hydration * Moisture *Mental Status - more alert - moves more *Age *Spinal cord injury |
|
|
Abnormal passage (hole) from an internal organ to the skin or from one internal organ to another. Accumulated fluid applies pressure to surrounding tissues, leading to formation of unnatural passage

|
|
Overhydration of wound. Damage related to moisture, changes in pH of skin, over growth of bacteria & infection of skin
|
Maceration
|
|
|
Occurs immediately after injury. Blood vessels constrict & blood clotting begins through platelet activation & culstering. Then vessels dilate allow plasma & blood to leak into injured area
|
Hemostatis
|
|
|
Last 4 - 6 days. White blood cells (leukocytes & macrophages) arrive to ingest bacteria & cellular debris. During this phase patient has generalized body response (increase temp, increase # of white blood cells & general feeling of malaise (feeling of uneasiness)
|
Inflammatory Stage of healing process
|
|
|
State of healing (Fibroblastic,Regenerative) lasts for several wks. New tissue built to fill the wound space through fibroblasts.
|
