Hemostasis
the skins first response to 2 immediate threats
Physical barrier of the epidermis has been compromised
Vasoconstriction
-blood vessels tighten to minimize bleeding
-forms blood clots
-fibrin protein forms cross-links on the top of the skin preventing blood from flowing out and bacteria or pathogens from getting in
Inflammation
White blood cells(macrophages) devour bacteria and damaged tissue
Phagocytosis - previously constricted blood vessels expand
Vasodilation - 2 to 3 days after the proliferative stage occurs when the fibroblast cells enter the wound
-collagen deposition forms connective skin tissue to replace the fibrin
remodeling (healing process)
Medical protection
clean cloth or sterlie dressing to clean it
using pressure to aply to the wound
