Study Notes
- Wounds can be classified based on the object and manner of infliction.
- Each type of wound carries specific risks of tissue damage and infection.
- Simple laceration is caused by a clean surface cut and may damage tendons or nerves.
- Complex laceration is caused by blunt or ripping forces and is often contaminated with germs.
- Puncture wounds have a small entry site but a high risk of infection due to deep internal damage.
- Abrasions are superficial wounds caused by a sliding fall or friction burn and may contain foreign particles.
- Stab wounds caused by a long or bladed instrument can be life-threatening due to the risk of vital organ injury and internal bleeding.
- Contusions are caused by blunt blows and may indicate deeper damage such as a fracture or internal injury.
- Gunshot wounds cause serious internal injury and infection due to contaminants from clothing and the air.
