ANSWERS LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+
goal of regeneration/repair of tissue - (answer)cellular products, tissue based products, advanced
therapies such as hyperbaric treatment of NPWT
goal of social/patient related factors - (answer)develop a patient-centers POC, patient engagement,
holistic assessment
why use debridement? - (answer)to remove necrotic tissue or debris, remove and reduce biofilm,
remove infected tissues, in palliative care to control odor, to facilitate wound visualization, in chronic
wounds to convert to acute wound to promote healing
autolytic debridement - (answer)a type of non-instrumental debridement that uses the body's own
WBCs, enzymes, and moisture to re-hydrate, soften, and liquify hard eschar and slough
benefits of autolytic debridement - (answer)painless, easily done with moisture retentive dressings,
aides in combination debridement methods
disadvantages of autolytic debridement - (answer)takes times, may be aesthetically displeasing to the
patient if using a transparent dressing
contraindications to autolytic debridement - (answer)neutropenic patients, those with diabetes mellitus
(higher risk for infection)
surfactant debridement - (answer)a type of non-instrumental debridement that uses concentrated
nonionic surfactant dressings (CSDs) which can soften and loosen wound debris, breakdown biofilms,
and prevent redevelopment of biofilms
indications for surfactant debridement - (answer)stagnant wounds, local wound infections, burns

benefits of surfactant debridement - (answer)cleanses wound without the use of cytogenic agents,
reduces inflammation, reduces biofilm, allows for daily visualization of wound
disadvantages of surfactant debridement - (answer)can be expensive, dressing must be changed daily
contraindications for surfactant debridement - (answer)sensitivity to chemical properties
enzymatic debridement - (answer)a type of non-instrumental debridement that uses collagenase to
dissolve collagen anchors between necrotic tissue and the wound bed
benefits of enzymatic debridement - (answer)faster than autolysis, good option for those at high risk for
bleeding, safe in infected wounds
disadvantages of enzymatic debridement - (answer)costly, daily application, can sting, takes longer than
sharp or mechanical debridement
contraindications of enzymatic debridement - (answer)not compatible with metal products, some
antiseptic cleansers reduce its activity/effectiveness
chemical debridement by sodium hypochlorite - (answer)a type of non-instrumental debridement using
sodium hypochlorite (diluted bleach) to dissolve collagen anchors between necrotic tissue and the
wound bed
indications for chemical debridement by sodium hypochlorite - (answer)grossly necrotic or infected
wounds
benefits of chemical debridement by sodium hypochlorite - (answer)reduces wound odor, cheap, non-
cytotoxic
