Delta is a type of fibre that transmits signals that are interpreted and perceived as pain.

<h3>Delta fibres</h3>

A delta fibres (also known as A fibres) are a type of sensory fibre. They respond to cold and pressure stimuli, and as nociceptors, their stimulation is perceived as fast/first pain input. Because they are thinly myelinated, they transmit impulses quicker than unmyelinated C fibres but slower than other, thicker myelinated "A" class fibres.

Structure

They have myelinated axons that are thin (2 to 5 m in diameter) and have a moderate conduction velocity, or speed at which a nerve signal moves (2 to 30 m/s). These nerve fibres make up the afferent portion of the reflex arc that causes the body to "draw away" from noxious stimuli because they are linked to acute (sharp) pain (e.g. retracting your hand away from a hot stove). A part of A fibres is also linked to pressure and temperature perception (also known as "cold receptors" in mammals). Contrarily, slow-conducting, unmyelinated C fibres convey gradual, scorching pain.

Answer: Monitoring for any change in color and edema at the injury site

Health education on self care of the colostomy

Fluid resuscitation (may also be considered medical care)

Patient diet should be monitored as patient should be on a liquid diet.

Explanation:

1) we are monitoring for any change in color at the site of injury, because of infection. If there is infection there is likely to be change in color of injury site.

Edema is a swelling, If there is a swelling at the injury site post operation, then it means something is wrong.

We then act because we don’t want sepsis to set in.

Fluid resuscitation because it is likely that patient becomes dehydrated post operation.

Also Patient’s diet is monitored because of the surgery we don’t want patient to be taking solid food so as to prevent an irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
