Secondary intention healing   show
🗑
show Wound is contaminated/ clean-contaminated. Follows secondary intention healing. When there is no edema, infection or debris, two surfaces of granulation tissue are sutured together. Strict aseptic technique - prone to infection. Less scar than secondary.  
🗑
show 1.Hemostasis: vessels constrict limiting hemo. Platelets aggregation & Clotting mechanism. 2.Inflammation:edema, erythema, pain, warmth, WBC migration. macrophages engulf debris & pathogens. Scab formed.  
🗑
show New cells fill the wound. Fibroblasts form collagen for strenth. Blood & lymph vessels are re-formed, resulting in formation of granulation tissue. Epithelialization begins.  
🗑
Maturation phase "epithelialization" (2nd or 3rd week until healed)   show
🗑
show may indicate a clotting issue,infection,slipped suture,internal bleeding  
🗑
Dehiscence (major complication)   show
🗑
Evisceration (major complication)   show
🗑
show abnormal passage between two body cavities or a body cavity + the skin that is created by an abscess.  
🗑
Infection (major complication)   show
🗑
show consists of serum. Staw colored fluid w/ watery consistency that separates out of blood when a clot is formed. Uusally present in a clean wound.  
🗑
sanguineous   show
🗑

🗑
Purulent exudate   show
🗑
Predisposing for evisceration/ dehiscence   show
🗑

🗑
show Involves partial-thickness skin loss of the epidermis, dermis or both. Abrasion, blister, or shallow crater.  
🗑
Stage III Pressure Ulcer   show
🗑
show Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone or support structures. Presence of undermining and sinus tracts common.  
🗑
Eschar   show
🗑

🗑
Mechanical debridement.   show
🗑

show use of an occlusive moisture retaining dressing and the body's own mechanisms for ridding itself of necrotic tissue. Activites: Apply dressing & observe fluid. Change q72h; cleanse wound at dressing changes.  
🗑
Woven Gauze   show
🗑
show for cleaning and wiping the skin or providing a layer of protection  
🗑
