Page 39: Wounds

Superficial Wounds

• Involve epidermis only

• No breach of basement membrane

• No bleeding• Can be painful• Ex- sunburn, “rug

burn”

Page 40: Wounds

Arterial Wounds

• Inadequate arterial flow– Tissue lacks nutrients

and oxygen to maintain• Causes: peripheral

vascular disease, diabetes, embolism

• Often located on tips of toes and fingers

Page 41: Wounds

Venous Wounds

• Inadequate venous drainage

• Causes: vein valve disfunction, post vein removal, DVT, vein dilation

• Often located LE, above ankle

• Weepy wound

Page 42: Wounds

Pressure Wounds

• Aka- “bedsore”• Excessive or

unrelieved pressure• Often over bony

prominences• Impaired mobility

Page 43: Wounds

Neuropathic Wounds

• Wound develops in area with impaired sensation

• Commonly on foot• Often patients with

diabetes, s/p chemothepy, neurodegenerative diseases, nerve compression

• Often lead to amputation

Page 44: Wounds

Acute Surgical Wounds

• Often sutured or stapled and heals quickly

• Left open due to swelling

• Infection, poor nutrition can lead to chronic wound

Page 45: Wounds

Atypical Wounds

• Dermal disease– dermatitis, pemphigus, autoimmune, fungal

infection• Trauma• Malignancy• Necrotizing fasciitis

Page 57: Wounds

Hemostasis/Coagulation

• Goals:– Control bleeding

• Clotting cascade– Begins immediately upon injury– Activate platelets

Page 58: Wounds

Hemostasis/CoagulationCellular component

• The Platelet– Activates to form

fibrin clot– Stems blood flow– Release cytokines

• PDGF• TGF-ß• EGF

Page 59: Wounds

Hemostasis/CoagulationCytokines

• Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)– Directs collagen

expression– Released with platelet

activation– Neutrophil, macrophage

chemotaxis

• TGF-ß– Directs collagen

expression

Page 60: Wounds

Inflammatory Phase

• 0-3 days• Begins with clotting cascade and platelets• Characterized by:

– Rubor (redness)– Turgor (swelling)– Calor (heat– Dolar (pain)

Page 61: Wounds

Inflammatory Phase

• Goals:– Destroy pathogens

• White blood cells– Clean wound site

• Breakdown cellular and extracellular debris– Signal cells of repair

• Cytokines, growth factors,

Page 62: Wounds

Inflammatory PhaseCellular Component

• Neutrophils– Migrate into wound within 24

hours• Initially largest proportion of

WBCs– Remain 6 hours to 4 days– Called to wound by presence of

fibrinogen, fibrin degradation products

– Move into wound from vasculature by diapedesis

Page 63: Wounds

Inflammatory PhaseCellular Component

• Macrophages– Most active in late

inflammatory phase– Main regulatory cell of

inflammation– Remain through

proliferative and remodeling phases

Page 64: Wounds

Inflammatory PhaseCellular Component

• Macrophages– Phagocytize bacteria and exogenous debris– Secrete collagenases to remove damaged

extracellular matrix– Release nitric oxide to kill bacteria– Release fibronectin to recruit fibroblasts– Can stimulate angiogenesis

Page 65: Wounds

Inflammatory PhaseMolecular Component

• Compliment– Immunology course– Bacterial destruction

• Opsization• Bacterial lysis

– Chemotactic factors• Phagocytic cells, neutrophils, macrophages

Page 66: Wounds

Inflammatory PhaseMolecular ComponentMacrophage Derived

• PDGF• TNF-

ProinflammatoryInduce MMPs

• IL-1– Proinflammatory– Stimulates NO synthesis– Amplifies inflammatory

response

– IL-6• Proinflammatory

– G-CSF• proinflammatory

– CM-CSF• ECM degradation

Page 67: Wounds

Proliferative Phase

• Overlaps inflammatory phase

• Begins 3-5 days post injury

• Length of phase dictated by wound size (~3 weeks for closed surgical wounds)

• Includes angiogenesis, re-epithelialization, fibroplasia

Page 68: Wounds

Proliferative PhaseAngiogenesis

• Neovascularization• Granulation tissue

– Buds of new capillaries• Does not occur if

ECM absent• Stimulated by FGF,

VEGF, TGF-ß, EGF, wound angiogenesis factor

Page 69: Wounds

Proliferative PhaseMatrix Formation

• Aka- fibroplasia• Begins 48-72 hours post injury• Fibroblasts secrete collagen (type III) and

ground substance • Maximally secretes for 5-7 days• Forms scaffold for endothelial migration• Binds cytokines, growth factors

Page 70: Wounds

Wound Extracellular Matrix• Composed of collagen

and ground substance• Produced by

fibroblasts• Provide structure for

cells and tissues• Bind growth factors,

helps create gradient

Page 71: Wounds

Ground Substance

• Amorphous viscous gel produced by fibroblasts• Comprised of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and

proteoglycans• Occupies space between cells and fibers• Allows medium for diffusion of nutrients and

wastes

Page 72: Wounds

Ground Substance• Major GAGs- hyularonic acid, chondroitin

sulfate• Composition varies by age and location

– Decreased water with age– GAGs increased in wounds, weight bearing

surfaces

Page 73: Wounds

Collagen and Wounds

• Normal surgical wound has 15% tensile strength of non-injured tissue after 3 weeks.

• Increases to 70-80% in two years• Wound recurrence: gravity, swelling, poor closure

Page 74: Wounds

Proliferative PhaseRe-epithelialization

• Resurfaces wound• Restores integrity of epithelium• Keratinocytes migrate into and proliferate

over wound bed– Inhibited by scabs

• REQUIRES basement membrane

Page 75: Wounds

Proliferative PhaseRe-epithelialization

• Begins within 24 hours of injury• Closed surgical wounds complete in 48-72

hours• New skin tensile strength ~15% of original

skin• After remodelling tensile strength only 70-

80%

Page 76: Wounds

Remodeling Phase

• Begins during proliferative phase• Continues 1-2 years post injury• Scar tissue/ECM remodeled• Increases tensile strength of scar

– Type III collagen replaced by type I

Ideal Wound Closure

• Allow for meticulous wound closure• Easily and readily applied• Painless• low risk to provider• Inexpensive• Minimal scarring• Low infection rate

Page 97: Wounds

Sutures

• Non-absorbable sutures– Tinsel strength 60 days– Non-reactive– Outermost closure

Page 98: Wounds

Sutures• Absorbable sutures

– Synthetic > natural– Synthetic increases wound

tinsel strength– Deeper layers– Avoid in highly

contaminated wounds– Avoid in adipose tissue– Synthetic & monofilament

> natural & braided

Page 99: Wounds

Staples

• More rapidly placed• Less foreign body

reaction• Scalp, trunk,

extremities• Do not allow for

meticulous closure

Page 100: Wounds

Adhesive Tapes

• Less reactive than staples

• Use of tissue adhesive adjunct (benzoin)

• Poor outcome in areas of tension

• Seldom used for primary closure

• Use after suture removal

Page 101: Wounds

Tissue Adhesives• Dermabond, Ethicon• Topical use only• Outcome equal to 5-0

and 6-0 facial repairs• Less pain and time• Slough off in 7-10 days• Act as own dressing• No antibiotic ointment

Page 102: Wounds

Post-procedural Care• Dressing for 24-48 hours• Topical antibiotics• Start cleansing in 24 hours• Suture/staple removal

– Face 3-5 days– Non-tension areas 7-10 days– Tension areas 10-14 days

Page 103: Wounds

Choosing Your Suture

• 6-0– Face

• 5-0– Chin– Low tension/detail

• 4-0– Large laceration– Moderate tension

• 3-0– Significant tension

Moist Wound Healing

• DRY IS DEAD!

• Moist environment allows:– Cell function– Diffusion of chemical factors– Migration of cells– Autolytic debridement

Page 126: Wounds

Moist Wound HealingDressings

• Gauze is bad

• Absorb or give moisture

• Antimicrobial• Conform to wound• Limit dressing

changes

Page 127: Wounds

Chronic Wounds

• Wound “fails to proceed through an orderly and timely process to produce anatomic and functional integrity, or proceeded through the repair process without establishing a sustained anatomic and functional result”

• No definitive amount of time to be considered chronic

Page 128: Wounds

Chronic Wounds

• Wound gets “stuck” in one phase of healing• Causes can be intrinsic, extrinsic or iatrogenic

Page 129: Wounds

Chronic WoundsIntrinsic causes

• Age• Chronic disease• Perfusion/oxygenation• Immunosuppression• Neurologic impairments

Page 130: Wounds

Chronic WoundsExtrinsic causes

• Medication• Nutrition• Irration/chemotherapy• Psychophysiologic stress• Wound bioburden

Page 131: Wounds

Chronic WoundsIatrogeneic causes

• Local ischemia• Poor wound care• Trauma• Wound extent• Wound duration

Page 132: Wounds

Ischemic arterial ulcers

• Poor blood supply• Painful, usually distal• Shallow wound, • smooth margins, pale• S/Sx of PVD: intermittent claudication, rest

pain, color changes, ↓ pulses, ABI < 1, dry skin, pallor, hair loss

• Tx: revascularization, wound care

Page 133: Wounds

Venous stasis ulcers

• Incompetence of the deep vein perforators

• capillary leakage- polymerization of fibrin impairs oxygenation

• Painless, shallow ulcer with irregular margins, possible skin pigmentation (hemoglobin extravasation and breakdown)

• Tx: compression therapy (rigid or flexible)

Page 134: Wounds

Diabetic ulcers• 10-15% of DM pts develop ulcers• Causes: ischemia, neuropathy

(unrecognized injury,Charcot foot)• Poor healing• Tx: Tight blood glc control, abx, wide

debridement of necrotic/ infected tissue, relief of pressure via orthotics/casts, potentially: topical PDGF and GM-CSF, skin grafts

Page 135: Wounds

Decubitus/pressure ulcers• Localized tissue necrosis from

compression over a bony prominence, ↓ nutrients/O2

• ↑ by friction, moisture• 3-9% acute care, 2.4-23% in long-term

care facilities• Tx: debridement of all necrotic tissue,

relief of pressure, wound care (moist environ), surgical flap repair, nutrition

• 4 stages:– I. Non blanchable erythema, intact skin– II. Partial thickness skin loss of

epidermis/dermis– III. Full thickness skin loss, above

fascia– IV. Full thickness, involves muscle or

bone

Page 136: Wounds

Excess Dermal Scarring• Occur after trauma, may burn or be pruritic• Xs of collagen/glycoprotein deposition

• Hypertropic scars– Usu develop within 4 wks of trauma– Collagen bundles are wavy pattern– Stay within the original wound, elevated < 4mm– Occur across areas of tension/flexing– Often regress – Tx: excision + corticosteroids

• Keloids– 15x more common in pts with darker skin

pigmentation– Develop 3mos-years after trauma– Collagen fibers are larger, random/ not bundled– Expand beyond wound edges, can become large– Rarely regress– Excision alone (45-100% recurrence). Corticosteroids

then Excision + corticosteroid injections, topical silicone, external compression, xrt, IFN-γ, 5-FU, bleomycin

Page 137: Wounds

Dressings• Mimics epithelial barrier, protection of site• Compression provides hemostasis, decreases

edema• Occlusion controls hydration and allows for

oxygenation/gaseous diffusion• Occlusion stimulates collagen synth and epith cell

migration• Primary- directly on wound• Secondary- placed on a primary dressing

Page 138: Wounds

Skin Grafts• Split/partial thickness graft = epidermis + partial dermis

– Require less vascular supply• Full thickness = entire epidermis and dermis

– Greater mechanical strength, increased resistance to wound contraction, improved cosmesis

• Autograft – transplant from another site• Allograft – transplant from a living nonidentical donor or cadaver

– Subject to rejection, may contain pathogens• Xenograft – from another species

– Subject to rejection, may contain pathogens• Preparation of wound bed – debridement of necrotic/fibrinous

tissue, control of edema, minimizing exudate, revascularization of wound bed, ↓ bacterial load

Page 139: Wounds

Hydrocolloid : Indication

SKIN COVER:

The best dressing is the patients skin whether the wound be closed directly, or by skin graft or skin flap. Early cover means early healing and potential avoidance of infection and bad scarring

EASY CLOSURE WITHOUT TENSION:

Be aware of closing wounds under tension, the wound edges may slough, the wound may dehisce, and there is the potential for a bad scar (either hypertrophic, keloidal or stretched). Sometimes a flap or a graft may be required to reduce the tension in a wound.

Wound classification

• Aetiology is therefore important in your understanding of how a wound arose and what structures may also be damaged or require attention

• Although there are many causes of wounds, in practise, as part of your assessment prior to definite management, you will need to categorise a wound into “tidy” or “untidy”

Page 156: Wounds

Practical Classification of Wounds:

• TIDY • UNTIDY

Page 157: Wounds

Tidy wounds:

• Clean incision• Uncontaminated• Less than 6 hours old• Low energy trauma

Page 158: Wounds

Tidy wounds:

• Can be repaired immediately after adequate wound exploration , cleansing and haemostasis

• Are associated with a low incidence of wound infection post repair

Page 159: Wounds

Untidy wounds:

• Ragged edge,crush or burn• Contaminated• More than 12 hours old• High energy trauma

Page 160: Wounds

Untidy wounds:

• Need to be converted into tidy wounds• May require repeated debridements until

tissue viability is ensured• Never close an untidy wound unless it has

been made tidy• If in doubt, it is safer to leave the wound

unrepared (but not undebrided!) and reinspected at 48 hour intervals

DEAD -SPACE OBLITERATION

Dead space will fill up with blood or serous fluid which is an ideal culture medium. Obliterate this dead space by drainage, suture or by healthy tissue.

Page 165: Wounds

Closure of Tidy Wounds:

• Tidy wounds should be closed primarily• All damaged structures should be repaired• Sutures are to oppose NOT necrose• Use monofilament materials

Page 166: Wounds

Closure of Untidy Wounds

• Only close primarily if can be converted to a tidy wound

• Doubtful tissue must be meticulously but ruthlessly excised

• Copious Levage “Dilution is the solution to pollution”

• If in doubt, don’t close• 48 hourly “second looks”
