CLOSED WOUNDS Closed wounds have fewer categories, but are just as dangerous as open wounds. The types of closed wounds are: Contusions, more commonly known as bruises, caused by a blunt force trauma that damage tissue under the skin. When a person sustains a harsh blow, it causes tissue damage and bleeding beneath the skin, but does not tear the skin itself. Most contusions do not require medical treatment, but should be monitored for symptoms of hematoma, which is deep tissue damage. A hematoma can cause skin death over the injury and will need medical treatment. The symptoms of a hematoma are a steadily growing mass beneath the contusion and discoloration, as well as severe pain. These symptoms require immediate medical treatment. Hematomas, also called a blood tumor, caused by damage to a blood vessel that in turn causes blood to collect under the skin. Crush injury, caused by a great or extreme amount of force applied over a long period of time. Chronic and Acute Wounds Acute or traumatic wounds are the result of injuries that disrupt the tissue. Chronic wounds are those that are caused by a relatively slow process that leads to tissue damage. Chronic wounds include pressure, venous, and diabetic ulcers. Typically, an insufficiency in the circulation or other systemic support of the tissue causes it to fail and disintegrate. Infection then takes hold of the site and hits a critical point, it can spread locally. Once the infection hits a critical point, it can spread locally or become systemic (sepsis). Exercise 5. Answer the following questions: What are the types of closed wounds? What are contusions caused by? What should contusions be monitored for? What can a hematoma cause? What are the symptoms of hematoma? What are hematomas caused by? What is a crush injury? What do acute wounds result from? What are chronic wounds caused by? When can infection spread locally and become systemic? жүктеу/скачать 0,8 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
