What is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
long-term failure of venous valves and/or venous outflow, resulting in
sustained venous hypertension, edema, skin changes, and ulceration in
the lower extremities.
Where are venous wounds located?
Lower 1/3 of leg (gaiter area)
What are the tissue type characteristics in venous wounds?
- Red or Pink
- Bark texture
- Yellow slough
- Poor granulation
Is venous wounds normally painful?
Usually not, unless it becomes vasculitic
How do you diagnose a wound by?
By tissue involvement or how much tissue is gone
- superficial thickness
- partial thickness
- full thickness
What is another way to diagnose wounds?
,By etiology
- Venous insufficiency
- Arterial
- Pressure
- Neuropathic
- Atypical
How can Chronic Venous Insufficiency develop into a venous wound?
by creating chronic venous hypertension that causes edema,
inflammation, skin breakdown, and impaired healing.
Define venous hypertension?
increased pressure in the veins
Over time, what are the effects of persistent venous hypertension that
could lead to a venous wound?
- Impairs oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues
- Causes inflammatory skin changes and fibrosis
- Makes the skin fragile and unable to tolerate even minor trauma
Venous wounds anatomy contains:
superficial and deep system
What are components of the superficial system?
Great and Small saphenous veins
What are components of the deep system?
tibial, popliteal, femoral veins
How does blood drain from superficial to deep system?
Through perforating veins
Superficial system originate at?
Dorsal arch and deep plantar venous arch of the foot
Dorsal veins empty into what?
, dorsal/deep plantar arch
Dorsal venous arch flows into which vein?
Small saphenous vein
Plantar venous arch flows into which vein?
Great saphenous vein
Dorsal/deep venous arches continuous into which veins?
Small and Great saphenous veins
Dorsal veins empty and flow into which veins?
Empty in the dorsal arch -> flows into the Great Saphenous and small
saphenous
Great saphenous vein is located where?
- Medial of the popliteal fossa
- Anterior to medial malleolus
- Superficial Compartment
- Connects to Femoral Vein
Small saphenous vein is located where?
- Lateral of the popliteal fossa
- Posterior to lateral malleolus
- Posterior compartment
- Empties in popliteal vein
Venous wounds are most commonly found where?
Lower leg (gaiter area)
Superficial and deep systems are connected by?
Perforating Veins that cross fascial layers
Venous flow is from?
