Q

what do the epithelial cells do –> epidermal healing

A

detach from the basal layer

migrate across the wound

proliferate by mitosis

differentiate into mature epidermal cells

Q

collagen synthesis

A

amino acids link together to form polypeptide chains

amino acids are hydroxylated and the chain is called protocollagen

24
Q

body structure

A

obese

emaciated

25
Q

obese

A

blood supply to tissue

decreased cell proliferation

26
Q

emaciated

A

decrease energy stores

decreased time metabolism

27
Q

stress

A

inhibits cell proliferation

28
Q

nutrition

A

need vitamin C

zinc

iron for collagen formation

29
Q

drugs

A

steroids

ASA

decrease inflammation and epithelialization

30
Q

smoking

A

decreases oxygenation to tissue

vasoconstriction

31
Q

types of wound healing

A

primary intention

secondary intention

tertiary intention

32
Q

skin grafting is

A

surgical procedure w/ dermatome

33
Q

skin grafts can be

A

allograft

xenograft

34
Q

allograft

A

homograft

same species

cadaver

35
Q

xenograft

A

heterograft

another species

porcine

36
Q

where is an artificial skin graft used

A

where large areas of burn exist

coverage is done for survival

37
Q

split thickness skin graft (STSG)

A

consists of epidermis and portion of underlying dermis

38
Q

types of artificial skin grafts

A

meshed

sheet

39
Q

meshed skin graft

A

expands the donor skin to provide more coverage of burn wound w/ less skin

40
Q

what does a meshed skin graft leave

A

waffle appearance

will not go away

41
Q

when is a meshed skin graft better

A

infected wounds

wounds w/ irregular contours

42
Q

sheet skin graft is better for

A

more cosmetic

43
Q

sheet skin grafts are

A

more durable

contraction is limited

44
Q

STSG –> sheet

A

may contract more while healing more than FTSG

45
Q

FTSG leave a –> sheet

A

full thickness lesion

46
Q

what contract less –> sheet

A

non-meshed

47
Q

PTs shouldnt –> grafts

A

move a grafted area for 5 days

during txs keep elevated

48
Q

LE grafts

A

can move after 5 days

should hold off ambulation for approximately 5-6 days
–> depending on how the grafts look

49
Q

dermal implants

A

integra

50
Q

inhalation injuries

A

increase severity of the injury

51
Q

types of inhalation injuries

A

thermal

chemical

CO poisoning

52
Q

dx of inhalation injuries

A

facial burns

singed nasal hairs

tinged sputum

closed space injury

blood work

bronchoscopy findings

hoarseness

53
Q

pathophys of inhalation injuries

A

inflammation can cause mechanical obstruction

necrosis of damaged epithelium, mucosal sloughs

bronchopneumonia is likely in severe cases

decreased pliability of the lungs, aspect of restrictive device

54
Q

rehab considerations –> inhalation injuries

A

airway should be secure

pt should have good O2 sats

monitor for respiratory distress

promote mobilization of secretions

55
Q

nutrition

A

requirements are high for the burn pt

additional energy is required to promote wound healing

56
Q

if the body’s caloric intakes are not met

A

body may resort to muscle breakdown

57
Q

if pt doesnt meet their caloric requirements

A

NG tube

58
Q

what may the pt require –> calories

A

4000-5000 per day

children require even greater amount of calories per day
