Study Notes
Aplastic Anemia
- Exposure to toxic chemicals, radiation, and certain medications can cause aplastic anemia
- Bone marrow transplantation is a recommended treatment for aplastic anemia
Oral Iron Therapy
- The recommended dosing for ferrous sulfate in oral iron therapy is 300mg 1-2 times daily
- Iron therapy should continue for 6-12 months after resolving anemia to prevent relapse
Iron Absorption
- Antacids, calcium, and milk should be avoided to increase iron absorption during therapy
- Vitamin C can enhance iron absorption
Wound Management
- Primary closure is a wound closure technique where the wound is closed immediately after surgery or injury
- Secondary intention wound closure is considered when the wound is contaminated, has a high risk of infection, or is not suitable for primary closure
- Tertiary closure (delayed primary) is characterized by a delay in wound closure until the wound is clean and free of infection
- Allowing a wound to heal through secondary intention can lead to the formation of granulation tissue and a longer healing time
- Primary closure is not employed in wound management when the wound is contaminated, has a high risk of infection, or is not suitable for closure
