Which of the following is true about the skin vascular supply?

• We can make a slightly more powerful by increasing the pressure of the wound - we can do this by using a syringe and an 18 gauge ______.

• If it is highly contaminated and may be best to use tap water. • But at some point we are then going to want to flush it with an ______ solution we often use lactated ringers or Hartman's.

• We do not add any ______. • We may consider debridement.

• Avulsion - this is a tearing of tissue from their attachment. If it is on the distal limb this would be called a degloving injury - because it is pulling the skin away from life issues- like a glove being removed from the fingers. This is where the skin is being pulled away from the underlying ______.

• Puncture - this is a puncture wound - these are wounds that penetrate through the skin. Often we see on the external surface is minimal in terms of damage. Internally there is often significant ______.

○ For the first six hours the bacteria haven't had a chance to divide and therefore the wound is only classed as ______.

The golden period is around ______ hrs

We want to speed up the process of wound healing as ______ as possible.

Soil is ______ than organic debris.
