🗑
Released from the damage cells to cause the inflammatory response   Histamine  
🗑
Normal wound healing occurs   side to side  
🗑
Five signs of the inflammatory response   pain heat redness swelling loss of function  
🗑
3 phases of normal (primary intention) wound healing   phase 1: Lag; inflammatory; last 3-5days phase 2: proliferation; up to day 20 phase 3: maturation/remodeling; up to 12 mos.  
🗑

🗑
Incision opened under ideal conditions; minimal scar   1st intention  
🗑
Delayed closure   3rd intention  
🗑
Produces a weak union with a wide irregular scar   2nd intention  
🗑

🗑
Used for dirty wounds, produces intermediate scar/TS   3rd intention  
🗑

🗑
Which type of healing is most likely to be used initially for a ruptured appendix   1st intention  
🗑
Describe the appropriate tissue handling techniques that should be utilized during any case   -length & direction of incision -dissection technique -duration of surgery -elimination of dead space -amount of tissue handling -achievement of hemostasis -precise tissue approximation -suture wound closure  
🗑
Five causes of wound dehiscence   1.friable tissue 2.abdominal distention 3.too much tention on the wound 4.inappropriate type/strength of suture material 5.improper suturing technique  
🗑
difference between dihiscence and eviseceration   dehiscence is partial or total separation of wound evisceration is total separation & protrusion of viscral organs  
🗑
most likely to be a factor in the cause of dehiscence   vertical incisions  
🗑

🗑
Measures the STSR can take to prevent wound dehiscence   -avoid long paramedian incision -provide careful, adequate closure -retention suture on intra-abdominal pressure
