Acute inflammation |
Short term (8-10 days) Usually completely resolves Mostly PMNs (polymorphonuclear leukocytes/neutrophils) |
|
|
Chronic inflammation |
Long term (2+ weeks) May or may not completely resolve Occurs if acute inflammation unsuccessful so it may trap infection and reduce threat |
|
|
Local inflammatory response |
5 cardinal/hallmark signs of inflammation: calor, dolar, tumor, rubor, functio laesa |
|
|
Systemic inflammatory response |
body wide response lymphnode involvement, fever, elevated labs (plasma proteins, cortisol, ESR, WBC count) |
|
|
Lympadenopathy |
(Systemic inflammation sign) enlarged lymphnodes due to filtering |
|
|
Lymphangitis |
(Systemic inflammation sign) inflammation of lymphatic vessel |
|
|
Lymphadenitis |
(Systemic inflammation sign) inflammation and localized infection of lymph node |
|
|
Leukocytosis |
WBC count above normal (>11,000/mL3) Shift to the left = high bands (immature WBC) |
|
|
Normal WBC count |
4,500 - 10,000/mL3 |
|
|
Healing by 1st intention |
rapid healing process minimal scar formation acute inflammatory response |
|
|
Healing by 2nd intention |
loss of tissue, sweat glands, hair follicles... substantial scar formation |
|
|
Keloids |
Aberrant wound healing tumorous scars from abnorm. collagen synth. if removed, tend to return |
|
|
Dehiscence |
Aberrant wound healing bursting open of previously closed wound |
|
|
Evisceration |
Aberrant wound healing organs protruding through dihiscence |
|
|
Stenosis |
Aberrant wound healing narrowing/obstruction of opening by formation of scar tissue around tubular area |
|
|
Diseases or lifestyle choices that effect healing |
Immuno-compromised Diabetes Mellitis - blood sugar too high for neutrophils to work properly (causes abnormal or delayed healing) Tobacco - toxic agent delays wound healing process and increases risk for infection |
