Study Notes

Obesity and Wound Healing

Obese patients often experience delayed or complicated wound healing.
Adipose tissue has poor blood supply (vascularity).
Vascular insufficiency can hinder healing.
Obesity increases the risk of infection.
Collagen synthesis is reduced in obese individuals.

Medications and Wound Healing

Some medications, including anticonvulsants and angiogenesis inhibitors, can impair wound healing.
Other medications, like vitamins and thyroid hormones, can enhance healing.

Nutritional Factors and Wound Healing

Iron deficiency decreases oxygen to the wound, delaying healing.
Vitamin C deficiency causes wound swelling (edema), slow dead tissue removal, and low tensile strength, potentially leading to wound breakdown.
Vitamin C is crucial for iron absorption and collagen synthesis.
Vitamin K deficiency impacts blood clotting.
Smoking decreases blood flow (ischemia) hindering wound healing.
