This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: wounds, Wounds complications infection, Wounds complications hemorrhage, descriptive qualities- laceration, abrasion, contusion, puncture, avulsion (tissue missing) healing process- primary intention- (wound with clean lines, stitiched, heals) Secondary intention- (irregular wound, no stitches, granulation fills in, large scar) Tertiary intention-(infected wound, delayed closure with suture), Wounds complications dehiscence or evisceration., healing process- primary intention- (wound with clean lines, stitiched, heals) Secondary intention- (irregular wound, no stitches, granulation fills in, large scar) Tertiary intention-(infected wound, delayed closure with suture) healing process 3. remodeling- sometimes takes place for more than a year, collagen scar continues to reorganize and gain strength, doesn't have strength of original tissue, healing process- primary intention- (wound with clean lines, stitiched, heals) Secondary intention- (irregular wound, no stitches, granulation fills in, large scar) Tertiary intention-(infected wound, delayed closure with suture) color- red-granualtion, yellow-slough, black-eschar, mixed-treat least healthy skin first, healing process- primary intention- (wound with clean lines, stitiched, heals) Secondary intention- (irregular wound, no stitches, granulation fills in, large scar) Tertiary intention-(infected wound, delayed closure with suture) healing process 1. Inflammation- inflammatory process accomplished control of bleeding & establishes a clean wound bed., Wounds classified by: Onset & duration- Acute or Chronic, healing process- primary intention- (wound with clean lines, stitiched, heals) Secondary intention- (irregular wound, no stitches, granulation fills in, large scar) Tertiary intention-(infected wound, delayed closure with suture) healing process 2. Proliferative- filling of the wound with granulation tissue, contraction of the wound, and the resurfacing of the wound by epithelialization, Onset & duration- Acute or Chronic Depth- superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness (thru sub-q), Depth- superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness (thru sub-q) cleanliness- clean-(surgical wound), clean contaminated- (surgical wound into unclean cavity), contaminated-(accidental wound), colonized-(bacteria present), infected-(enough bacteria), infection wound drainage Serous-Clear, watery plasma Purulent-Thick, yellow, green, tan, or brown Serosanguineous-Pale, red, watery: mixture of clear and red fluid Sanguineous-Bright red: indicates active bleeding, cleanliness- clean-(surgical wound), clean contaminated- (surgical wound into unclean cavity), contaminated-(accidental wound), colonized-(bacteria present), infected-(enough bacteria) descriptive qualities- laceration, abrasion, contusion, puncture, avulsion (tissue missing), Wounds complications fistula-sinus tract
