From a practical point of view, let’s start with small wounds in general and then special cases.
Stab wounds, such as stings, caterpillar hairs, bites from larger insects (including, but not limited to, bees), bites that knocked the insects off their backs, but the insect’s mouthparts remain inside the skin ……, and so on.
The first step is always to clean the wound. I know you guys don’t like hospitals, but for small wounds, you can sterilize a sewing needle with 75% alcohol and then pick the stinger out by placing it against the side of the stinger. It’s important to be sharp and not to squeeze the insect’s stinger, as this may push out any unfinished venom into the wound.
For ordinary stab wounds, you can apply tincture of iodine or 75% alcohol directly to the wound, which will heal quickly and sterilize the wound just to keep bacteria on the surrounding skin surface from infecting it. My suggestion is to prepare 75% alcohol at home, not 95%, in case the children use it to apply cool, badly coated skin.
Many people like to wash bee stings with soap and water, but there are so many different kinds of bees, why do you think they are all about to spray the same venom? Bees are washed with a weak alkaline liquid, wasps are washed with a weak acidic liquid! Like vinegar!
In addition, insect bites, without systemic reactions, can use Jidisheng snake powder applied externally, I am not advertising, which you believe it or not, whoever uses who knows.
The wounds formed by sharp-edged wounds are usually long and narrow, with little residue. The first thing to look at is the amount of bleeding to determine if any major blood vessels have been cut, then look at the nerves, such as a cut on the arm, to see if the fingers and wrist can still move in each direction? Are you afraid to move for fear of pain or can’t move at all? Do you still feel the skin on your arms? If there is a problem with this I’m sure you know without me teaching you to go to the doctor quickly. If these are not problems, the next must must must need to observe the depth, why, because of the fear of tetanus. Clostridium tetani is an anaerobic bacterium, often found in rust and soil, if the wound is large in contact with air and oxygen, it will not live well, if it is held deep, hum ……
So the next time the doctor cleans the wound, turn it over and read it, and stop yelling at me, I’m trying to save you. I’m not going to rip your arm in half. Stop it!
Not only do I have to watch but I have to wash with 3% hydrogen peroxide! And wash and wash and wash! Because it’s an oxidizer, it gives off a lot of oxygen, reducing your chances of getting tetanus. It is available at all major pharmacies.
After washing the wound is clean and the vision is clear, it is necessary to see the exact extent of the injury, as to whether or not to stitch this matter, in layman’s terms, if you do not stitch it will not close by itself, it is necessary to stitch.
After treatment of the wound needs a shot of broken antibiotics and oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
A graze wound is usually shallow and large enough that you don’t need to worry about tetanus, but it’s usually dirty and full of mud and water. Perfect for someone just starting to learn how to clean a wound to get started. Start by scrubbing off the surface dirt with a cotton swab soaked in saline, and then wash again with 3% hydrogen peroxide if there are stubborn stains. There are some special stains that require a special wash, such as industrial dyes that require medical turpentine to remove. If the wound is shallow enough that it doesn’t even reach the dermis, it’s okay to disinfect the surrounding skin with 75% alcohol or tincture of iodine (remember not to apply these directly to the wound!). No! You’re hot! (They are for painting around 5 cm!) You can’t apply the outside and then stick it in and apply the inside, then cover it up with sterile gauze or a Band-Aid, and when there is no exudation, you don’t even need a cover. If there is more exudation deep into the dermis, the more common compress is Refnuir, which is the kind of yellow salve you often see in hospitals.
In a good wound, there is no pus, the exudate is light yellow and clear, and small pink particles can be seen growing on the wound surface, which are granulation tissue. It’s a good idea to change the dressing gently and gently, because many interns’ wounds are slow to heal.
I have found that many people have a misunderstanding about the Band-Aid that is too tightly applied. In fact, it is not right to wrap a wound too tightly, on the one hand, blood circulation is restricted, and on the other hand, it may cause anaerobic bacterial infection. For example, if you hurt your finger and put a band-aid on it, it should be appropriate that your finger is still barely able to bend and move without restriction after the band-aid. Another mistake is to touch the inside of the band-aid with your hand and end up contaminating the dressing, which is not sterile when applied to the wound, thus increasing the risk of infection. By the same token, expired or damaged band-aids should not be used, as they may no longer be sterile.
If the depth exceeds the dermis and you see flesh, don’t bother and go to the hospital.
Burns is a general medical term that includes real fire, thermal burns, and chemical etching burns. …… Let’s talk about the most common thermal burns that can be treated at home.
There are a total of 4 degrees of burns, 1 degree, 2 degrees shallow, 2 degrees deep and 3 degrees.
If you can tolerate it, you can ignore it completely, and it will be completely healed in a week. If you can’t tolerate the hotness, you can apply toothpaste. Of course, if you have the means, you can have a Mabel’s Moist Burn Cream on hand.
Shallow 2 is a big blister that hurts like hell. In fact, a lot of people are saying whether or not burns can be flushed with cold water in the end, as if the public is right and the mother-in-law is right. In fact, to cool the skin this action itself is right, but do not break the blister, the blister is below the wound, tap water is a bacteria, so it is easy to infect. Keep the blister as intact as possible, then use a sterile syringe to drain the water from the blister and apply a thick layer of burn cream to seal it up. An intact blister skin is the best natural dressing. Wrap the gauze to wrap a little looser, because the burn wound wound exuded more, wrapped tightly the next day when changing the dressing all stick together, pull off like peeling skin, the patient is uncomfortable. Properly treated, the superficial 2 will not leave a scar.
If the blistered skin is broken, don’t mess around and go to the outpatient clinic for a dressing change.
Deep 2 has small blisters or no blisters at all, the damage has reached the dermis, and the sensation has been dulled. 3 degrees is not just skin, but flesh, so what’s the point, go to the hospital.
I have said so much, simply send you a chemical burn tips chanting. For strong acid and alkali burns, rinse with plenty of cold water to dilute and lower the skin temperature, then get medical attention. Still, get medical attention, because it’s going to get worse tomorrow.
The most important thing about dog bites is to catch the owner of the dog …… and get him to go with you for a rabies shot. The treatment of such wounds in China is the most standardized, because the rabies vaccine is written on the box, which step how much time to wash, if not standardized then the patient will immediately have an opinion: “you this is not the same as the national regulations na? Are you cutting corners? “
I would like to conclude with a few points.
The first treatment the wound needs is definitely to clean the wound. The wound should be clean. Don’t put a bunch of Yunnan Baiyao into the wound, even if you are afraid that you can’t stop the bleeding, you have to know how to bring it back for re-cleaning. Even if it doesn’t get infected, how can it grow?
Scars are a matter of personal constitution and depth of trauma. In layman’s terms, skin growth is emitted from the dermis, and if the dermis is undamaged, it can regenerate completely without scarring. The so-called scars from wounds that were not properly treated mean that the wound was originally on the epidermis, but became infected and died down to the dermis, not because you ate soy beans or soy sauce.
Not everyone who has a deep dermal injury will be left with a large raised scar, but those who have a scar are called scar tissue.
