Caring for Post Wounds Summaries

POST OPERATIVE WOUNDS Post-surgical wounds are the most common acuteout wounds andinthetheriskoperating of infection is minimal because the surgical procedure is carried sterilely room (special room).tissue Post-surgical wounds healaprimarily using threads orare other covering devices with minimal loss because it is just tear. After surgery, there several actions to restore the function and physical integrity of the body, minimize deformity and without infection, namely controlling and hemodynamics, closing of the wound, bandaging andhemostatics monitoring complications that may arise.the wound, drainage Secondary healingforinexample acute wounds occurs most often in burns. Primary healing uses several methods, using threads, clips, staplers and skin tape. Wound closure uses threads, both those that can be absorbed directly and those that cannot be absorbed by the body. WOUND DRAINAGE After surgery, there areproduct remaining body productsthrough such as another blood, fluids and other body fluids. The remainder of this must be removed route (not from the surgical wound), namely through ablood, tube that isand deliberately created and drained out, known as a drain. Drains facilitate pus, other body fluids from getting out of places where they don't belong. Drains are made in major operations, either closed (negative pressure) (positive pressure). Systemicdue complications thatthecantube be caused by installing a drainorareopen fistulas, infections and necrosis to pressure on used. WOUND WRAPPING The principles of carewounds, after surgery for acute wounds greatly determine thetime success of treatment. In acute the wound will heal completely according to and the wound healing process. Woundsoccurs that arewithin undergoing primary healingso will have minimalis scarring and reepithelialization the first 24 48 hours that the dressing not changed at that time. The type ofopened, dressingprevents recommended fortopost-surgical wounds is apain dressing that does not stick when trauma the wound bed, reduces when changing the dressing, absorbs fluid, can stop bleeding, can prevent germs from entering and prevent infection, provides conditions that canofsupport wound healing, minimizestransparent scars and film, is cost effective by minimizing the frequency dressing changes. For example dressing, hydrocolloid, calcium alginate, Vaseline Zalf etc. COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE POST-SURGICAL WOUNDS Common complications that occur in acute wounds are bleeding, hematoma, necrosis, infection, open suture wounds (dehiscence), internal organs coming out (evisceration), sinuses and even fistulas.

This can cause infections such as stitches, gauze fibers etc. Fistula is one oftothe complications after surgery. A fistula is antoabnormal channel that connects one two organs to other organs (internal) or one two organs to the surface of the skin (external).
