Burn Care
Preferred method for assessing TBSA of burns in children
What is the Lund-Browder Chart?
The typical wound base appearance in someone with a DFU
What is a pale wound base with scant to absent exudate?
This substance is the chief component of lymph fluid because it is not easily absorbed by the venous system
What are plasma proteins?
Typical sign of arterial insufficiency
What is intermittent claudication?
This waveform is supported by the greatest body of evidence in ESTR
What is HVPC?
Dr P's favorite type of cell
What is the fibroblast?
This type of burn takes several days to show the full extent of damage because of injury to underlying neurovascular structures
What is an electrical burn?
In patients with DFUs, this bedside test is the most sensitive for detecting probable osteomyelitis
What is the probe-to-bone test?
This test can be used to differentiate between lymphedema and lipedema
What is Stemmer's sign?
Main risk factor associated with Buerger's disease
What is smoking/tobacco use?
Use this as the active electrode in ESTR to reduce bacterial load
What is the cathode/negative pole of the circuit?
This modality increases plasma oxygen content
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?
This surgical procedure may be indicated in circumferential limb burns when distal circulation is compromised
What is an escharotomy?
This diabetic foot deformity increases risk of wounds at the plantar aspect of the met heads due to distal displacement of the fat pad
What is claw toe deformity?
What is a heavy feeling in the affected limb?
At least 3 typical characteristics of a venous ulcer
What is located in the gaiter region, partial thickness damage, copious serous exudate, painful to touch, irregular borders?
These types of dressings (2 kinds) are contraindicated in ESTR
What are silver dressings and petroleum based dressings?
The primary cellular target for photobiomodulation using LILT
What are the mitochondria?
Preferred positioning to reduce the risk of joint contracture in a patient with a deep burn of the posterior calf region
What is ankle in neutral with elevation of the heel?
What is prescription footwear and custom orthotics?
4 principal components of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)?
What is manual lymphatic drainage, compression wrapping, therapeutic exercise, and skin care?
Strict contraindication to compression therapy in a patient with venous insufficiency
What is L CHF/decompensated heart failure?
This is how NPWT encourages increased cellular mitosis in tissue healing
What is cellular microdeformation?
Type of wound associated with end of life
What is a Kennedy ulcer?
Recommended position to preserve functional mobility in a patient with a deep partial thickness burn of the right palm
What is the intrinsic plus position, i.e. - MCP flexion and IP extension, wrist in neutral or slight extension?
4 gait abnormalities typically seen in patients with DPN
What is increased base of support, increased double support time, decreased heel strike, early heel rise?
Most common cause of secondary lymphedema worldwide
What is filariasis?
Type of skin condition sometimes confused with hemosiderin staining in patients with venous insufficiency
What is necrobiosis lipoidica?
The proper therapeutic window for the use of LILT
What is 2-5 J/cm2 using red and infrared waveforms?
This modality is considered the gold standard for pressure redistribution in DFUs
What is TCC?
