Question
Answer
Epidermis   top layer, 0.05-1.5 mm layer, langerhan and dendritic cells first level of defense  
🗑
dermis   collagen and elastic fibers, 0.3-3.0mm glands and hair follicles  
🗑
subcutaneous   fat, varies from person to person, regulates body temperature  
🗑
Assessing wounds   size, location, redness, edema, ecchymosis, drainage, approximation  
🗑
vascular response   vasoconstriction (limit bleeding), followed by vasodilation (bring WBC to area, allows fluid to leak out of vascular) fibrin forms  
🗑
cellular response   neutrophils, monocytes,  
🗑
neutrophils   arrive first at injury (phagocytes). Eat, digest and produce waste products (pus), comes from the bone marrow  
🗑
Shift to the left   infection in body so great depeletes mature WBC and the bone marrow sends out immature neutrophils (called bands) to help the fight. Check CBC for bands  
🗑
monocytes   arrive 3-5 days after injury, get rid of waste produced by phagocytes, macrophages release fibrenogin and starts to heal and knit together  
🗑
Chemical Response to injury   Complement system, 1-9 types. Complement deficiency means one is missing.  
🗑
Kines, histamines, prostaglandins, serotonin   chemical response, all irritate skin and cause pain and swelling, part of healing  
🗑
prostaglandins   activate pathways that cause production of leukotrines (which cause anaphylactic reaction)  
🗑
arterial problem   not much swelling, but can't get stuff to the area of damage  
🗑
venous problem   swollen, can't get the bad stuff back out  
🗑
Cillins (PCN)   cidal, GI issues and rash, no toxicity, watch for anaphylaxisis, Gram +  
🗑
cephlosporins (Keflex, ceclor)   cidal, GI issues, no toxicity, cross reacts with PCN, Gram + and -. Most common antibiotics  
🗑
Tetra (cycline)   NO CHILDREN, static, GI Issues and yeast, renal toxic, Adverse coumadin, milk, sunlight and stains teeth, Gram + and -  
🗑
macrolides (myicin)   static, GI and hepatic toxicity, OTO toxic and renal, take with water, no grapefruit juice, Gram +  
🗑
aminoglycosides (genatmycin, vancomycin)   cidal, rash, GI, fatigue, irreversible Ototoxic, nephro toxic, Measure peaks and troughs, can affect coumadin. Gram - and some +  
🗑
fluroquinolins (cipro No PG, oxins No Kids)   static, GI, dysrhythmias, hepatotoxicity, tendon ruptures, anaphylactic, BS elevation, Gram + and pseudomonus  
🗑
Sulfa (bactrim)   static, rash (up to 6 weeks), aplastic anemia, fatal blood abnormality, Gram + and -  
🗑
Fever   thermostat in hypothalmus, prostoglandins act on it to increase them, causes shiver, sweating etc to lower temp. Epi released increases metabolism, treet 100.1 and above  
🗑
NSAIDS   antiprostaglandin meds. antipyretic, antiinflammatory, analgesic. mild to moderate GI effects  
🗑
ASA   lasts for a couple of days, renal toxic. Reye's syndrome in children  
🗑
Tylenol   analagesic, high rate of death (in multiple meds patients OD without meaning to). liver toxic. Max dose 4000mg QD. Antidote is mucomist  
🗑
Cox 2   celebrex, block receptors. NOT antipyretic, no GI effects but possible cardiac effects  
🗑
nosocomial infections   hospital acquired  
🗑
Factors impede healing   smoking, immobility, nutrition, chronic diseases, meds, skin breakdown, environment  
🗑
Phases of Wound Healing   Inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, remodeling phase  
🗑
Inflammatory phase   immediate to 2-5 days, hemostasis (vasoconstriction, platelets, clotting). Inflammation (vasodilation, phagocytosis)  
🗑
Proliferative phase   2 days to 3 weeks. Granulation (fibroblasts lay new collagen, fills defects and makes caps). Contraction (wound edges pull together). Epitheliazation (crosses moist surfaces 3 cm from good cell in all directions)  
🗑
remodeling phase   3 weeks to 2 years. New collagen forms (for strength) and scare tissue grows  
🗑
suprainfections   yeast, black tongue, caused by antibiotic use  
🗑
antifungal meds   diflucan, lamasil. Live toxic, use with caution in Liver patients  
🗑
antivirals   valtrex, treat virus. Liver toxic  
🗑
tamiflu   to shorten the length of flu, and to prevent it after exposure  
🗑
RYB wounds   Red (trauma or surgical wound: protect and clean) Yellow (prescence of slough and exudate: cleaning and removal of non viable tissue) Black (necrotic tissue: debridement)  
🗑
Types of Dressings   gauze, nonadherent dressings, transparent films, hydrocolloids, foams, absorptive dressings, hydrogel, alginates, antimicrobials  
🗑
Reduce risk of pressure sore in Wheelchair   shift weight every 20 min  
🗑
vasoconstriction   initial inflammatory response  
🗑
arachidionic pathway   leukotrienes and prostoglandins  
🗑
liver function decreases   decrease dosage  
🗑
