wound in which involves only the epidermis
superficial wound
wound in which involves the dermis and epidermis
Partial-thickness
wound which is deeper then the dermis
Full-thickness
Depth is often related to as _______
Staging
Physiologic response to wounding is associated with the ______
Phase
Primary closure
physical approximation of wound edges, following debridement as needed
Secondary closure is needed when
edges can't be approximated d/t size, infection, tissue quality, ect
In which type of closure can dehiscence occur?
both
more granulation and wound contraction is needed in which type of closure
Secondary
what are two likely causes of dehiscence?
-poor tissue quality
-edema
Name two reasons skin grafts are not used in chronic wounds
-won't adhere b/c system is not working
-don't want to give a pt who is not healing a second wound
what occurs as a result of the initial vasoconstriction?
hypoxia
what occurs as a result of hypoxia
-angiogenisis
-release of NO2
-vasodilation
what is necessary for anti-bacterial actions in the cellular response
Oxygen
What is the charge of the skins surface
negative
4 main processes of the proliferative phase
-angiogenesis
-granulation
-contraction
-re-epithelialization
what is required for angiogenesis?
endothelial cells
210.3
This is the process of gaining and maintaining discipline within your organization? It provides a way for the supervisor to establish lines of acceptability
Progressive Discipline Process (PDP)
what is the composition of of granulation tissue
macrophages, fibroblasts, new vessels, immature collagen (type III), and EMC
What is the purpose of granulation tissue
-provides framework for cellular migration
-temporarily fills wound defect
what is one thing that effects the rate of closure
the shape of the wound
what is needed to induce CTGF
TGF-Beta
what are the main players in contraction
myofibroblasts
where does epithelialization occur?
at the margins of the wound, across granulation tissue
in what phase are keratinocytes key
epithelialization
what completes the proliferation phase?
full epithelial coverage
2 processes that occur during maturation
synthesis and lysis
which process during maturation does not require oxygen?
lysis
what is hypertrophic scarring
excessive collagen synthesis which remains in the confines of wound margin
what is a possible cause of a hypertrophic scar
too much oxygen
what is a keloid
excessive collagen synthesis which progresses outside the confines of wound margin
what is dehiscence
separation of wound margins
Why may PRP not be an effective Tx for chronic wounds
person my have "defective" platelets which is why they have a chronic wound
