Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain wounds and healing in general terms, relay first aid and wound care guidance from health authorities, describe warning signs that need urgent care, and route personal wounds and treatment questions to clinicians and emergency services.

An injury in which the skin or other tissue is cut, torn, punctured, burned or otherwise broken, whether acute from trauma or surgery or chronic such as pressure, venous and diabetic ulcers; wounds heal through clotting, inflammation, tissue formation and remodelling, and are managed by cleaning, closure, dressings, infection control and treatment of underlying causes.

What it is for: Not applicable; an injury.

It can be explain types of wound and healing; relay first aid guidance from authorities; describe signs of infection and complications; route personal cases to clinicians.

Distinguishing features

Break in tissue integrity

Acute versus chronic

Healing in phases

Infection risk

What it looks like

A break in the skin or tissue, from a small cut to a large open or chronic ulcer.

Physical character

healing phases: 4 phases - haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, remodelling

chronic wound definition: not healed in about 4-12 weeks - definitions vary

How it is recognised

Broken skin or tissue

Acute or chronic, clean or infected

Bruises without broken skin and fractures are other injuries

What the second pass must settle

  • How should first aid guidance be linked by country?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases for specific ulcer types; should they be split off?
