Study Notes
Oxygenation
- Oxygen is crucial for wound healing
- Prevents infection, promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), and collagen synthesis and re-epithelialization
- High oxygen consumption by active cells in the wound creates a hypoxic microenvironment
- Impaired oxygenation hinders wound healing
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve healing in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber
- 100% oxygen exposure can accelerate healing
Infection
- Contamination: Presence of non-replicating microorganisms without causing any infection
- Colonization: Presence of replicating microorganisms in the wound without causing damage
- Infection: Presence of replicating microorganisms in the wound causing tissue injury (needs antibiotics)
