| Wound complications: Hemorrhage | Excessive bleeding |
| Wound complications: Dehiscence | Partial-total separation of wound layers |

| 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 |
