Wound healing

reduced antioxidant activity can increase free radical damage. Malnutrition can also result in wasting of muscle mass and muscle atrophy, and the body prioritizes muscle maintenance over wound healing when there is thirty percent loss of lean body mass (Leaker, 2013). One of the most important macronutrients for wound healing is protein because it’s required for tissue synthesis and repair. Patients with chronic pressure ulcers can lose protein through exudate and become trapped in a

Trending in dermatological surgery, blepharoplasty has seen an uprise in popularity of treatments. In 2011, the USA alone saw more than 147,000 procedures performed, making it the 4th most common surgical operation, and ranking the most popular sought after surgery in Asia. It is most commonly obtained for aesthetic purposes and obtaining a more youthful appearance (Okamoto, 2012; Motaparthi, 2010). Blepharoplasty is defined as surgically reconstructing or repairing either the upper eyelid, lower

“The Role of Nutrition in Preventing Pressure Ulcers” published by Nursing Standard depict how pressure ulcers and malnutrition co-occur in geriatric patients and the nurse’s role in preventing the risk of such things, as well as, how to magnify wound healing if they are already present. “A pressure ulcer is defined as localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear” (Leaker, 2013, The Role of Nutrition

Wound care (Pressure Ulcer) Descriptions During community placement, my mentor and I visited M (patient), a 75years old lady, who was presented with a Pressure Ulcer, on the heel of her right leg. On arrival, my mentor asked me to manage M’s wound. However, I have observed and participate in carrying out this skill (wound care) with my mentor on several occasions. I explained the procedure to M and gained her consent to carry out the procedure. The preparation and application of aseptic technique

All nurses involved in wound management need to understand the wound-healing process, as this should underpin their care plans. While treatment options will be influenced by the current stage of healing, it is important to note that the stages can vary in length of time and overlap, which can create difficulties in recognition. For example, the signs and symptoms of wound infection could be confused with the inflammatory phase, while parts of the wound may be in the destructive phase, with

retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy (Bonner, et. al, 2016, p. 2). Whether you have Type I or Type II diabetes, you have an increased risk for developing an open wound or ulcer on your foot. Ulcers usually happen because a person has diabetic nerve damage, known as neuropathy. About 20% of these patients with infected foot wounds end up with some type of lower extremity amputation (Wu, et. al, 2013, p. 1) . In 2015, 9.0% of Rhode Island adults (about 76,300 people) reported

Wound management requires skills and expertise in providing a standard care for patients who has delayed in wound healing. Most often, as we exposed to a clinical setting for a very long time we are highly aware of wound management preferences and different approached among nurses, both fulfilled and unfulfilled. As much as health care workers provide the highest management of a wound, we still have noticed a delay in wound healing. As far as wound healing is concerned, negative pressure wound therapy

infection of the wound, or abscess formation, that may lead to the formation of the new sinus tract inside the cicatrizing surgical wound. Accumulation of debris or dead tissue in the intergluteal cleft, sweating, friction or poor hygiene are the predisposing factors for recurrence14. Also, placing the suture line on the midline with considerable tension on the line and failure to lessen the depth of the natal cleft

phase of healing, cellular activity predominates. The major events during this phase are the creation of a permeability barrier (ie, reepithelialization), the establishment of appropriate blood supply (ie, angiogenesis), and strengthening of the injured dermal tissue (ie, fibroplasia). Reepithelialization is the process of restoring an intact epidermis after cutaneous injury. It generally involves several processes, including the migration of adjacent epidermal keratinocytes into the wound. Epidermal
