Physiology: wound healing Flashcards
1
Q
phases of wound healing:
A
- Inflammatory response
- Proliferation/repair phase
- Remodeling phase
2
Q
cardinal signs of the inflammatory response phase
A
Redness, swelling, heat, and pain
3
Q
how long the inflammatory response lasts?
A
24-48 hours
complete in 2 weeks
4
Q
acute inflammatory response physiological reactions
A
- vascular reaction: vasoconstriction → vasodilatation
- cellular reaction: platelets, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, lymphocites
5
Q
which stage of scar formation has the greatest responsiveness to intervention?
A
stage II
repair/remodeling phase
6
Q
factor affecting wound healing
A
ischemia (lack of blood flow), malnutrition, stress, DM, steroids, poor hydration
