K.I.S.S.
This prolongs healing and can result in further tissue destruction
What is infection?
This absorbs exudate from the wound.
What is woven gauze (sponges)?
These are the stages of wound healing
What is the Inflammatory Stage, the Proliferative Stage, and the Maturation (or Remodeling) Stage?
Pressure injury left open to heal. What am I?
What is the Secondary Intention?
King Triton might use this type of dressing being that it is manufactured from seaweed, provides a moist wound bed and supports debridement.
What is an alginate dressing?
Three factors that affect wound healing.
What are age, overall wellness, decreased leukocyte count, infection, medications, malnourishment, tissue perfusion, low Hgb levels, obesity, chronic disease, smoking, wound stress.
This is a temporary "second skin" ideal for small, superficial wounds.
What is self-adhesive, transparent film?
Macrophages engulf microorganisms and cellular debris, known as phagocytosis, in this stage.
What is the Inflammatory Stage?
Little or no tissue loss, edges approximated, heals rapidly, low risk of infection are all signs of this.
What is Primary Intention?
This uses foam strips laid into the wound bed with an occlusive sealed drape applied and suction tubing placed for negative pressure.
What is a Vacuum-Assisted Closure System?
The Immune Systems Function.
What is to fight infection by destroying invading pathogens?
An occlusive dressing that swells in the presence of exudate; composed of gelatin and pectin, it forms a seal at the wounds surface to prevent evaporation of moisture from the skin.
What is hydrocolloid?
This risk is greatest 24 to 48 hours after injury or surgery.
What is hemorrhage?
What is Secondary Intention?
This elastic tissue is made primarily of collagen and contains nerves, hair follicles, glands, immune cells and blood vessels. What is it?
What is the Dermis?
This contains both serum and blood. It is watery and looks pale and pink due to a mixture of red and clear fluid.
What is Serosanguineous drainage?
This prevents skin breakdown in high-pressure areas (the sacrum); composition mostly water and gels after contact with exudate.
What is hydrogel?
Purulent drainage, Pain, Redness, Fever, Chills, Odor, Increased Respiratory Rate and Increased WBC count are all examples of what kind of manifestations?
What are Infection Manifestations?
What is Tertiary Intention?
Intentional, Neuropathic, Pressure related, Open or closed, and Acute or chronic are all examples of what?
What are types of wounds?
This is a result of the healing process and accumulates during the inflammatory and proliferative phases of healing.
What is drainage (exudate)?
This is used to mechanically debride a wound until granulation tissue starts to form in the wound bed. Must keep moist at all times to prevent pain and disruption of wound healing.
Full-thickness skin loss: Vissible adipose tissue with possible granulation tissue, some slough, eschar present. No exposed muscle, tendon or bone.
What is a Stage 3 Pressure Injury?
Name 3 examples of Tertiary Intention.
What is: Widely separated. Deep. Spontaneously opening of a previously closed wound. Closure of wounds happen when they are free of infection. Closed later. Longer healing time.
The collection container on this must be compressed/squeezed to form a vaccuum to pull the drainage from the wound.
What is the Jackson-Pratt Drain?
