Question
Answer
Biggest determining factor of whether wound will heal:   blood supply  
🗑
Phases of Wound Healing:   Hemostasis, plt plug / fibrin clot formation; inflam & recruitment; fibroblast proliferation & granulation; maturation (wound remodeling & contraction)  
🗑
Order of arrival of cells to newly injured tissue   Platelets; neutrophils; monocytes/ macrophages; fibroblasts  
🗑
Fn of Platelets:   plug any bleeding defects to form a clot, which provides a fibrous framework for later events.  
🗑
Cells that stimulate mast cells to release histamine:   Platelets and leukocytes  
🗑
Fn of Neutrophils:   phagocytosis of debris & release of cytokines to recruit other cells; die within 24-48 hrs; release lysosomal enzymes, which digest necrotic debris  
🗑
Fn of Monocytes/macrophages   arrive at approx. same time as neutrophils, but live longer and predominate after 3rd day  
🗑
Fn of Fibroblasts   appear at about 24 hrs; attach to fibrin scaffolding deposited in wound during initial clotting.  
🗑
Predominant cells in a normal wound at 10 days:   Fibroblasts  
🗑
Reasons for difficult healing in Diabetes:   Impaired microvasculature, impaired inflammatory response  
🗑
Reasons for difficult healing in Glucocorticoids:   Immunosuppression, reduced tensile strength  
🗑
Reasons for difficult healing in Radiation and Chemotherapy:   Arteriolar and fibroblast damage, BM suppression  
🗑
Treatment for an abscess is:   Drainage  
🗑
Primary closure:   prompt suture closure after irrigation; heals the most rapidly w/ the best scar; can be used in clean & clean-contaminated wounds; also clean, fresh traumatic lacerations.  
🗑
Secondary intention:   wound is left open & allowed to granulate in; generally involves debridement, irrigation, & frequent dressing changes  
🗑
Delayed primary closure:   wound is cleaned, debrided, irrigated, & closed 3 to 5 days later  
🗑
Cofactors required for collagen synthesis   Vitamins C&E; Iron; Oxygen; Protein; Galactose; Glucose; Manganese  
🗑
Wound: Clean:   non-traumatic, uninfected, incision under aseptic conditions as in the OR; e.g. median sternotomy incision, hernia; infection rate < 5%  
🗑
Wound: Clean-contaminated:   normal flora, wounds involving oral cavity, respiratory, upper alimentary, or GU surgery; e.g. esophageal, cholecystectomy, colectomy; infection rate < 10%  
🗑
Wound: Contaminated:   fresh traumatic lacerations, operative procedures with gross soilage; ex: colostomy, bowel resection w/ enterotomy; acute cholecystitis w/ pus; infection rate < 15%  
🗑
Wound: Dirty/Infected:   heavily contaminated wounds, traumatic wounds greater than 6 hours old, grossly infected wounds; ex: pelvic abscess, gangrene of extremity, perf viscus, perirectal abscess, leg ulcer; infection rate 30%  
🗑
Factors that Influence Healing:   Infection/ contam; Nutrition; DM; Jaundice; Uremia; Steroids; CT/radiation; Hypoxia (smoking); edema  
🗑
