🗑
Albumin levels: list norm, malnutrition, days of half life   Albumin: 3.5-5.5 mg/dL=normal <3.5mg/dL=malnutrition 18-20 days of half life=long term gauge for nutrition  
🗑
Glucose-fasting levels list norm, indications?   70-115 mg/dL indicates for short-term management of DM  
🗑

Iontophoresis used with which meds can be used to promote healing?   Zinc and Histamine both are anodes  
🗑
Ultrasound general parameters   low intensity, pulsed 3x/wk  
🗑
E-stim general related to wound healing   HVPC with pulsed current or Low volt with continuous current. Overall e-estim anode(+) promotes epithelial migration during inflammatory phase. Cathode(-) promotes granulation, controls inflammation and inhibits certain bacteria  
🗑
Vacuum Assisted Closure(VAC),When is it indicated?   would not closing, lack of arterial perfusion, or excessive exudate that can't be controlled with dressings, arterial wounds are primarily use of VAC, applied continously and can be used with infection

🗑
Superficial burn: AKA, layer of skin damaged, characteristics, healing time   First degree: epidermis(sunburn), erythema, slight edema, tenderness and no blistering, spontaneous healing 2-5 days  
🗑
Superficial partial-thickness AKA, layer of skin damaged, characteristics, healing time   Second degree burn: damage to upper layers of dermis and epidermis, blisters, inflammation, severe pain, healing 7-10 days without surgical intervention, min scarring with residual skin color changes

Full-thickness burns: AKA, layer of skin damaged, characteristics, healing time   3rd degree burn: complete of the epidermis, dermis & subcutaneous tissues w/ some muscle damage. Tissues are white, gray or black w/ dry surface, edema, eschar formation & insenate or little pain, escharotomy & skin grafts for healing, hypertropic & keloi  
🗑
Subdermal burn: AKA, layer of skin damaged, characteristics, healing time   4th degree, complete destruction of epi, derm, subcut layers involves bone and muscle, skin is charred, dry or mummified, destruction of vascular=necrosis,Amputation or paralysis common, extensive surgery and rehab is needed.  
🗑
Pulm complications with burn injuries   smoke inhalation, death due to pneumonia, restrictive lung disease who have moderate burns over trunk  
🗑
