Integumentary System
A terrible collision between a trailer truck and a bus has occurred on Route 91. Several of the passengers are rushed to area hospitals for treatment. We will follow a few of these people in clinical case studies that will continue through the book from one organ system to the next.
Examination of Mrs. DeStephano, a 45-year-old woman, reveals several impairments of homeostasis. Relative to her integumentary system, the following comments are noted on her chart:
Epidermal abrasions of the right arm and shoulder
Severe lacerations of the right cheek and temple
Cyanosis apparent
The lacerated areas are cleaned, sutured (stitched), and bandaged by the emergency room (ER) personnel, and Mrs. DeStephano is admitted for further tests.
Relative to her signs:
What benefit is conferred by suturing the lacerations?
