Primary intention wound healing - ANSWER✔easy closure, no infection, skin edges come
together (ex: hernia)
Secondary intention wound healing - ANSWER✔a lot of tissue loss and can't close the incision
(heals by GRANULATION)
Third intention wound healing - ANSWER✔infected, not much tissue loss, closed within a few
days of surgery
Phases of wound healing - ANSWER✔1. First Inflammatory (clot formation)
2. Second proliferation (new tissue is formed, fibroblasts)
3. Third maturation ("mature" wound is closed, collagen)
Wound class I: clean - ANSWER✔No infection, no break in aseptic technique, good case (ex:
CABG or craniotomy)
Wound class II: clean contaminated - ANSWER✔When there is no spillage of contents (ex:
removing the GB with no spillage of bile/appendix/vagina)
Wound class III: contaminated - ANSWER✔open trauma case/gunshot wound/spillage from
intestinal tract
Wound class IV: Dirty - ANSWER✔infected case, perforated bowel or resection of ruptured
appendix
, Wound that separates after is has been closed - ANSWER✔dehiscence
Evisceration - ANSWER✔the contents of the abdomen protrude out from the wound
separation of wound layers where air and/or blood accumulate and causes infection -
ANSWER✔dead space
abrasion - ANSWER✔scrape
contusion - ANSWER✔bruise
laceration - ANSWER✔tear or cut
One-layer dressing are used for - ANSWER✔- a small wound with minimal drainage

Opsite/Tegaderm, bioclusive, and aerosol adhesive sprays are examples of what type of
dressings? - ANSWER✔one-layer dressings
Collodion - ANSWER✔- one-layer dressing
