Pressure Ulcer: Stage I | Skin intact; redness or blanching |

Pressure Ulcer: unstageable | A wound full of eschar or necrotic tisue |
Wound classification | Intentional vs unintentional. Open vs closed. Acute vs chronic. Partial thickness vs. full thickness vs complex. |
Phases of wound healing: Hemostasis | Immediately after injury; vasoconstriction and clotting then vasodilation and release of exudate (serous, sanguineous, serosanguineous, purulent) |
Phases of wound healing: Inflammatory | Lasts 4-6 days; WBCs move to site |
Phases of wound healing: Proliferative | Lasts <3 wk. fibroblastic, regenerative, or connective tissue phase |
Phases of wound healing: Maturation | Lasts <6 mo. formation of scar |
Wound repair: primary intent | Surgical wounds |
Wound repair: secondary intent | Does not have well approximated edges |
Wound repair: tertiary intent | A wound left open for several days then closed up |
Wound complications: Infection Hemorrhage Dehiscence Evisceration Fistula | Invasion of microorganisms |
Wound complications: Hemorrhage | Excessive bleeding |
Wound complications: Dehiscence | Partial-total separation of wound layers |
Wound complications: Evisceration | Total separation of wound layers with protrusion of viscera |
Wound complications: Fistula | Abnormal passage from organ-organ or organ-exterior of body |
Effects of heat on local tissues | Dilation of peripheral blood vessels, increases tissue metabolism and capillary permeability, decreases muscle tension and blood viscosity, helps relieve pain |
Effects of heat: systemic | Increases cardiac output and rate, sweating, decreases blood pressure |
Effects of cold: systemic | Constricts peripheral blood vessels, decreases muscle spasms, promotes comfort Increases blood pressure, shivering, goose bumps |
Effects of cold on local tissues | Constricts peripheral blood vessels, decreases muscle spasms, promotes comfort |

Stages of inflammation: Stage I | Blood vessels constrict, Chemical mediators released, Increased capillary permeability fluids leak swelling and pain, blood flows slowly (increased viscosity) to allow escape of WBCs, Leukocytosis |
Stages of inflammation: Stage II | Exudate production |
