Q

High frequency US

Study These Flashcards
A

1-3 Hz; elevate temp, enhance blood flow

-couples: water; hydrogel-partial thickness; sterile aqueous gel-full thickness

21
Q

low frequency US

Study These Flashcards
A

20-40kHz; debridement, bactericidal, healing of acute and chronic, removing biofilms
-couple: sterile saline, Dakin’s for debridement

22
Q

Indications for high frequency US

Study These Flashcards
A
  • chronic wounds
  • recalcitrant wounds
  • pressure ulcers, venous ulcers (.5W)
  • traumatic wounds
    precautions: wound inflammation, fractures
23
Q

Contraindications for high frequency US

Study These Flashcards
A
  • pregnancy
  • CNS tissue
  • joint cement
  • pacemaker
  • thrombophlebitis
  • reproductive organs, eyes
24
Q

parameters for high US

Study These Flashcards
A
  • 20% duty cycle, pulsed
  • 1 for deep, 3 for superficial
  • inflammatory: .3 W/cm2
  • proliferation: .5; daily
  • remodeling: .5-1; 3x/week
25
What's the only US for biofilms?
MIST
26
So tell me what you want...NO MIST let's talk about MIST baby
- noncontact US - 40kHz - wound cleansing, pain reduction; removal of slough, fibrin, exudate, biofilms; burn healing, venous insufficiency healing, painless
27
What electrical current is most supported by evidence?
HVPC
28
What are indications for estim?
- chronic or recalcitrant wound (pressure or venous) - clean or infected - granular or necrotic - acute - donor sites
29
What are contraindications for estim?
- osteomyelitis - cancer - pacemaker - pregnancy - precautions: silver dressing, bleeding, sensory neuropathy
30
Estim mediums
- saline soak | - dressing: gauze under electrode, dispersive
31
negative vs positive polarity
- negative: lyses necrotic tissue, stimulates granulation, increase blood flow, fibroblasts proliferation, enhance collagen synthesis, attract neutrophils - positive: greatest effect during proliferative phase, promote epithelial growth, attracts marophages, bactericidal
32
parameters for HVPC
- pulsed, 100pps, interval 20-100 microseconds - 75-200 volts - 45-60mins - 5-7 days a week
33
What is cold laser for?
- enhances wound healing - reverses symptoms of peripheral neuropathy - minimize or reduce fibrosis-stage 2 edema
34
What is anodyne?
- photo energy-releases NO from hemoglobin and other proteins->decreases inflammation and edema and increases granulation base, rate of healing, remodeled tissue - peripheral neuropathy - diode pad over wound for 20-30 mins, 1-2x/week - Kim no le gusta
35
What is UV radiation for?
- chronic wounds - initiates inflammatory response-stalled out wounds - kills MRSA and others - 15-30 secs, 2-3x/week until contamination is resolved
36
What does negative pressure wound therapy do?
- mitosis stimulated, new vessels formed, wound contraction | - evacuates fluids, stimulates granulation, reduces bacterial burden, maintains moist wound bed
37
What do you do if a tendon is exposed and you want to use NPWT?
cover it with nonadherent wound contact layer!
38
NPWT indications
- acute, traumatic wounds - dehisced incisions - pressure ulcers - chronic open wounds - meshed grafts - flaps
39
NPWT contraindications
- untreated osteomyelitis - fistulas of unknown origin - necrotic tissue with eschar-debride first, slough OK - exposed organs, vasculature, and nerves
40
What is hyperbaric O2?
- O2 delivery for 60-90mins at >1 atmosphere - induces revascularization - may cause toxicity and destruction of new blood vessels - benefits diabetes grade 3, arterial insufficiency, burns, osteomyelitis, radiation burns
41
Indications for HBOT
- air/gas embolism - gas gangrene - crush injury - compartment syndrome - necrotizing infection - osteomyelitis - delayed radiation injury - compromised grafts and flaps - Wagner 3 or higher DFU - acute peripheral arterial insufficiency-last effort before amputation
42
community acquired MRSA
- spider bite looking - close injury contact, person to person contact - most common cause of soft tissue and skin infection - tx: drain lesion, topical antibiotics; education and protection of area until well healed
43
Kennedy Terminal Ulcer
- pear shaped - pass in next 72 hours - sudden onset, progresses rapidly
44
Fungating wounds
- cancerous lesion, primary cancer or metastasis - nodular fungus or cauliflower shaped lesion - odor, pain, exudate, bleeding - can remove it, but they probably aren't going to live much longer
45
scleroderma
-scar tissue and fibrosis
46
impetigo
- bacterial - peds - highly infective
47
hand foot and mouth
- viral | - highly infective with blisters
48
sickle cell
- looks like venous insufficiency - up to 2 year healing time - not well oxygenated, lots of slough
49
calciphylaxis
- calcification of small vessels - pts on dialysis; end stage renal disease - death due to infection-debride if it gets infected, but they usually can't tolerate debridement - necrotic tissue
