23
Q

Protrusion of visceral organs through wound opening

24
Q

Abnormal passage between two organs or organ and outside of body

25
Localized collection of blood underneath tissues
Hematoma
26
Removal of non viable, necrotic tissue
Debridement
27
Purple or maroon localized area of discoloured intact skin or blood-filled blister. Area is painful, form, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler.
Deep tissue injury
28
Intact skin with nonblanchable redness, usually over bony prominence.
Stage 1
29
Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as shallow ulcer with red pink wound bed, without sough. May also be intact or open or ruptured serum-filled blister.
Stage 2
30
Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible. Slough present but does not obscure tissue depth. May include undermining and tunnelling.
Stage 3
31
Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present, often with undermining and tunnelling.
Stage 4
32
Full thickness tissue loss, base of ulcer covered by slough or eschar.
Unstageable
33
Wound that is closed
Primary intention
34
Wound edges are not approximated
Secondary intention
35
Wound closure is delayed until risk of infection is resolved, then wound edges are approximated
Tertiary intention
36
Ulcer caused by inadequate blood flow
Arterial ulcers
37
Superficial and irregularly shaped wound usually with large amount of exudate caused by edema
Venous Ulcers
38
Superficial partial-thickness wound with little bleeding
Abrasion
39
Jagged unintentional wound sometimes with more profuse bleeding
Laceration
40
Small circular wound with edges coming together toward center
Puncture
