Term
What is migration time of dividing cells as they move to the top of the stratum corneum?
Definition
28 days
Term
What is contained in Dermis?
Definition
Blood vessels and nerves
Term
What are dermis and epidermis are bound by projections that grow up and down respectively?
Definition
Dermal Papillae and rete ridges
Term
What is simple wound definiton?
Definition
No major tissue loss
No associated frature
No injury to deeper structures
No gross contaminaiton or debris
Wound edges are easily opposed
Term
What is the example of simple wound?
Definition
Surgical incision
Term
What is complex wound?
Definition
soft tissue loss
major neurovascular injury
Fracture
Gross contamination
Impregnated debris
Wound edges not easily opposed and my require healing by secondary intention
Term
What is the example of complex wound?
Definition
Open fracture
Term
What is the incised wound?
Definition
Linear wound with regular margins...typical sx wound
Term
What is laceration wound?
Definition
Traumatic tearing of tissue, irregular margins & beveling of the edges
Term
What is abrasion wound?
Definition
Loss of epidermal surface without loss of dermal integrity
Term
What is contusion wound?
Definition
Soft tissue injury with no break in epidermal integrity with echymosis
Term
What is puncture wound?
Definition
Penetrating injury with little surface disruption.
Term
What is fracture wound?
Definition
break in the continuity of bone or cartilage
Term
What is avulsion wound?
Definition
Loos of flap of tissue deeper than the dermis
Term
What is crush wound?
Definition
Rapid and severe squeezing which causes diffuse cellular damage with or without break in epidermis
Term
What is amputation?
Definition
Traumatic loss of tissue from digit or extremity
Term
What is clean wound?
Definition
Incisional wound
Little or no crushing, tearing, or avulsing components
Term
What is contaminated wounds?
Definition
Wounds with a higher degree of soft tissue damage which are more predisposed to infection

Or a clean wound left exposed for >6hrs
Term
How do you manage contanminated wounds?
Definition
Wound can be converted from contaminated to clean by appropriate debridement and copious lavage

Contaminated wounds should Not be primarily closed until they are converted to a clean wound
Term
WHat is infected wounds?
Definition
Exhibit clinical signs of infection or gross contamination
These wounds can not be closed until they are transformed to a clean wound by abx, debridement, and local wound care
Term
What is wounds with soft tissue loss?
Definition
Degloving injuries, slicing injuries, compression injuries with a brusting type laceration
These wounds may require skin grafting after converting them to a clean wound
Term
When is inflammation or substrate (lag phase)?
Definition
0-4 days
Term
WHen is proliferation or fribroblastic phases (repair)?
Definition
5-21 days
Term
What is remodeling or maturation phase?
Definition
21 days-12 months
Term
What are cardinal signs of inflammaiton?
Definition
Tumor/swelling
Dolor/pain
Rubor/redness
Calor/Heat
Loss of Function
Term
What cells presented in Inflammarory or Substrate phase?
Definition
Neutrophils present
Term
What cells presented in Inflammarory or Substrate phase?
Definition
Mast cells release histamine for vasodilation and cellular migration
Term
what is mediators of inflammation?
Definition
histamine: vascular permeability, major source from the mast cell and platelet
Term
What is mediators of inflammation?
Definition
Serotonin, plasma kinins, prostaglandins
Term
What happened in cell activation?
Definition
Reduced inflammatory responses profoundly affect subsequent healing
Term
What happened in cell activation?
Definition
Steroid use: affects cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Can be partially reversed by Vit. A administration
Term
What cells is predominant in proliferation phase?
Definition
Fibroblasts
Term
In proliferation phase
Definition
collagen causes an increase in wound tensile strength to reduce size by bringing wound edges closer together
Term
In Wound contraction
Definition
Granulation
Term
At the 15 days proliferation phase
Definition
wound reaches 35% of it;s original strength-14th day. Tensile strength of wound equals strength of suture and therefore can be removed
Term
What is hypertropic scar
Definition
Abnormal collagen proliferation, stays within margins of original scar: neutralize and soften after 18 months
Term
What is keloid scar?
Definition
fibrous tissue hyperplasia: extends beyond margins of original scar: nerve entrapment, painful
Term
What is primary wound healing?
Definition
Healing by first intention, sutured wound/steri strips: occur within hrs after repairing a surgical incision
Term
What is secondary wound healing?
Definition
wound edges are separated, results in an inflammatory response that is more intense than with primary wound healing with a larger quantity of granulatomatous tissue is fabricated because of the need for wound closure
Term
What is delayed primary healing?
Definition
2 intention with delayed 1st closure, in the case of contaminated wounds
Term
What are the factors affecting wound healing?
Definition
Adequate blood supply and tissue perfusion (oxygen tension),
Healing deficiency is evident in the maturation phase
Term
Condition that affect tissue perfusion?
Definition
PVD:
Smoking: nicotine is vasoconstrictor, and hemoglobin carries carbon monoxide instead of oxygen
