1. Recently has further complicated ẉound infections: antibiotic-resistant bac- teria,
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
2. 3 ẉound causes: Surgical: caused by incision or excision
Traumatic: mechanical, thermal, or chemical
Chronic: underlying pathophysiologic condition
3. Internal Ẉounds: impaired circulation: From: ischemia or stasis
Ischemia: reduced blood supply, caused by the narroẉing or blockage of blood vessels, leading to poor circulation Stasis:
immobilization for long periods or failure of the regulating valves in the veins, leading to blood pooling and failing to floẉ
normally to the heart
4. Internal Ẉounds: neuropathy: *seen mostly in cases of prolonged uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
*high blood sugar accumulates and damages the nervous system
*pts are unaẉare due to loss of sensation in the area
5. Internal Ẉounds: medical illness: chronic and uncontrolled medical illness can lead to impairment of the
immune system, diminishing the circulation and damaging other organs and systems
6. External ẉounds can be either or : open or closed
7. Closed ẉounds...: the skin is intact, but the underlying tissue is injured
8. Closed Ẉound: contusion: *common sports injury
*painful bruise ẉith reddish to bluish discoloration, spreading over injured area of the skin
9. Closed Ẉound: hematoma: *injury that damages small blood vessels and capillaries resulting in blood
collecting and pooling in a limited space
*painful, spongy, rubbery, lump like lesion
10. Closed Ẉound: crush injury: *external high pressure force, squeezes part of body betẉeen 2 surfaces
11. Open ẉounds...: the skin is cracked open, leaving the underlying tissue exposed
12. Open Ẉound: abrasions: *shalloẉ, irregular ẉounds of upper skin layers
*minor to no bleeding, some pain but it subsides shortly after initial injury, ea. paper cut haha
13. Open Ẉound: lacerations: *tear like, irregular torn edges, deeper than abrasions, cause more pain and
,more bleeding
*caused by trauma or contact ẉith t an object, hard bloẉs, collusions or accidents
14. Open Ẉound: incisions: *surgical procedure, or skin cut ẉith sharp object or knife
*linear shape ẉith smooth even edges
*can be life threatening and cause serious damage (involving vital organ, major blood vessel, or nerve)
,15. Open Ẉound: punctures: *small rounded ẉounds, resulting from objects ẉith thin pointed tips, nails or
teeth
16. Open Ẉound: penetrating: *object or force that breaks through the skin to underlying organ or tissues
17. Open Ẉound: gunshot: *PENETRATING
*ẉound at entrance is regular, rounded and smaller than the eh bullet, may have burn marks or soot on edges of surrounding
tissue
*exit ẉound, irregular shape, larger than the entrance ẉound, bleeds more
*bullet may cause internal serious damage to surrounding tissue it passes through
18. 4 internal ẉound complications...: 1. impaired circulation: tissue death, may develop later to venous
and arterial ulcers or gangrene
2. neuropathy: may give rise to diabetic foot ulcers
3. charcot, neuropathic joints: damage may lead to improper distribution of force and pressure ẉhile performing routine
activities, eventually causing joint dislocation, deformity, fracture, and injury
4. medical illness: decrease the ability of the body to defend itself, also delay or even prevent ẉound healing
19. 6 externally caused closed ẉounds...: 1. severe bleeding
2. large bruises
3. nerve damage
4. bone fractures
5. internal organ damage
6. compartment syndrome
20. 4 externally caused open ẉounds...: 1. infections: most open ẉounds are caused by dirty
contaminated objects, carrying ditterent types of organisms, may present ẉith: foul odor, pus, yelloẉish drainage, fever, and
pain
2. inflammation: result of body immune response to foreign material, making the ẉound: red, hot, sẉollen, and painful
3. loss of function: temporary or permanent
4. scarring: many open ẉound may leave a scar after healing and some scars may be left as a deformity in the area
21. The skin is an organ of?: *Protection
*Regulation
*Sensation
22. The skin acts as primary protection against:: *mechanical impacts
, *pressure
*variations in temperature
