What are they two types of wound healing?
regneration (regrowth)

repair
What is regeneration?
regrowth

normal tissue develops
normal histological character
Normal function

healing replavement with original form and funciton

uncommon in normal circumstances
What is repair?
scar tissue

binds wound edges together

altered function

decrease strength compared to unwounded tissue
What are the phases of wound healing?
inflammatory (lag)
-hemostasis
-inflammation
debridement

proliferative
-repair

remodeling
-maturation
What is the inflammatory phase of wound healing?
-hemostasis
-inflammation
debridement

blood vessel constricution
platelets important in initiating wound healing

coagualtion - fibrin clot

inflammatory mediator activation
What are inflammatory mediators in the inflammation phase of wound healing?
platelets activating factor from neutrophils, basophils, enothelial cells and platelets - helps for platelete aggregation and vasodilation

platelet factor 4 - heparin like products

TGF-B chemotactic for monocytes and stimulates generation of endothelium and vascular smooth muscle
What is the debridement phase of wound healing?
begins 6-12 hours after wound
see migration of inflammatory cells into wound
neutrophils predominate for first 2-3 days
blood borne monocytes become macrophages withing 24-48 hours
What are functions of macrophages?
growth factor functions
-PDGF - angiogenesis
-IGF-insulin growth factor - nerve, muscle and skin stimulation for growth
-TGF-B- regulate cell cycle

Cytokines
TNF-a - induces NO proliferation
-stimulates fibroblasts
-initiates a cytokine casecade that increases vascular permeability
-IL 1,6,8
What do acute phase proteins do?
increase opsinization of microbes
bind free iron so unavailable to microbes
inhibit plasmin and thrombin
increase coagulation
activate complement cascade
recruit other immune cells to site
What is the inflammation phase duration?
patient condition

based on delivery of O2 and nutrients to tissues

local wound environment
-bacteria
devitalized
foreign bodies

**want to keep this phase short
What is the proliferative phase?
begins 2-5 days after wounding
angiogenesis
firbroblasts appear in the wound
collagen production begins
wound tensile strength increase
What can enhance wound healing?
topical wound medication
ideal would dressings (possible)
negative pressure wound therapy
hyperbaric O2
what is negative wound pressure therapy?
used for acute wounds

stimulates healing by suction

removes debris and decreases the bacterial burden

promote granulation tissue
decreases inflammation
increase proliferation phase
decreases bandage changing
What is hyperbaric oxygen?
see in humans mostly but in some vet practices

can produce free radicals (decrease wound jealing)

improves local deliver of O2 to tissues

stimulate granulation tissue formation of bone (cortical fenestration (forage)
What is the remodeling phase?
blood vessel remodeling
collagen maturation and remodeling
wound tensile strength
What are factors that affect wound healing?
species
wound depth/location
dogs and cats - no differences in healing of sutured wounds
removal of sub-q tissue slows second intention healing
What are local factors affecting wound healing?
surgical technique*
blood supply
infection
mechanical stress
foreign bodies
topical medications
What are systemic factors affecting wound healing?
Age
nutritional status*
concurrent disease
anemia
hypovolemia
drugs
What are reasons for non healing wounds?
immunodeficiency
foreign bodies
DM
hyperadrenocortisism
drugs
nutritional status
What are the wound healing classification?
first intension
second intension
third intension
What is first intention wound healing?
primary wound closure, minimal inflammation
delayed primary wound closure
What is second intention wound healing?
healing by contraction and epithelialization
What is third intention wound healing?
secondary wound closure
wound is closed after granulation tissue forms
What is cessation of wound contraction?
wound has healed
tension in surrounding skin exceeds pull of myofibroblasts
collagen deposition in chronic wound interferes with pull of myofibroblasts
What are complications of second intension healing?
thin tissues
susceptible to trauma

may need grafting
What is wound contrature
scar that interferes with normal function

need to release contracture so it can heal normally
What is the second wound effect?
second surgical approach made through previous incision before repair phase is complete
-incisional hernia repair
-intussusception after prior abdominal surgury

if tissue is healthy do not freshen the edges-tissues are already primed for wound healing to proceed
