| Signs of Inflammation: | Redness, swelling, pain, itching & heat. |
| Inflammatory Process/ Hemodynamic Changes: | 1st response, capillary dilation (increase blood flow, warmth & redness to that area. |
| Inflammatory Process/ Increased Permeability: | 2nd response, Increased leukocytes cause protein rich fluid to line the blood vessels close to site of inflammation |
| Inflammatory Process/ Chemical Mediators: | Several chemical mediators Prostaglandins, histamine, & leukotrienes are found in various body tissues & are liberated & produce vasodilation, vascular permeability, & smooth muscle contraction.(anaphylactic shock: hypotension, swelling, & bronchoconstric |
| Inflammatory Process/Anti-inflammation | Cortisol slows the release of histamine; which slows the inflammation process down. |
| Inflammatory ProcessChemical Mediators: | is drug used to treat inflammation. |
| Local Inflammation: | Heat, Swelling, redness, pain,& sometimes loss of function. |
| Systemic Inflammation: | Swelling, redness, pain, (may not have local warmth) fever, headache, muscle aches, chills, & sweating. |
| We want wound to heal from? | Base- upward |
| Repair of tissue: | Macrophage cells are produced & clean up inflammatory debris. Fibroblast- begins to repair the tissue at edges of the wound, migrating to base of wound to form granulation tissue. Scab- dried blood & fibrob |
