My finger was accidentally cut by a kitchen knife, do you need a tetanus needle?

In daily life, being cut by a kitchen knife is mainly manifested as a defect in the epidermis, and the kitchen knife is relatively clean, there is no need for tetanus, tetanus bacilli are easy to produce in deep wounds, and as long as the wound site is disinfected during the period.

It is recommended that the wound must not touch water or be infected by some bacteria and viruses during the recovery period, and be sure to change the dressing regularly.

<> a finger is cut with a kitchen knife, emergency compression should first be performed on the spot to stop the bleeding. The bleeding area should be pressed first with sterile gauze or a clean paper towel. If the amount of bleeding is large, local compression bandaging of the distal end can be used to reduce bleeding.

For more serious kitchen knife finger cuts, which may injure tendons and ligaments, you can't sit at home and deal with them by yourself, so you need to go to the emergency department or the corresponding hand surgery department for vascular tendon exploration, and find that there are blood vessels rupture, tendon rupture for corresponding suture and repair, and give anti-inflammatory drugs to anti-inflammatory symptomatic after surgery**, and at the same time, nerve training of tendon and vascular function can also be carried out to prevent muscle contractures in the future.

After chopping vegetables, we generally don't need to worry too much, usually our kitchen knives don't contain a lot of rust and dirt. However, if the kitchen knife has just cut a lot of things, it is necessary for the patient to get a tetanus shot to prevent infection, usually as soon as it is cut. Cleaning the wound and disinfecting it can prevent some infection, but it is best to get a tetanus antitoxin injection to prevent infection.

The above is a detailed interpretation of the problem, I hope it will help you, if you have any questions, you can leave me a message in the comment area, you can comment with me more, if there is something wrong, you can also interact with me more, if you like the author, you can also follow me, your like is the biggest help to me, thank you.

It is mainly determined on a case-by-case basis. If it rusts, <>

Or compare the equipment, get a tetanus shot, the coefficient is high. Look at the hair**, the question is not too serious. Iodine elimination and band-aids. However, it is advisable to pay attention.

Don't get a tetanus shot, don't worry too much, just disinfect with iodine, pay attention to a light diet to avoid the deterioration of wound inflammation.

Tetanus shots are needed because if this wound is not treated carefully, it is very likely to become infected with tetanus, which will make your injury more serious and affect your health.

Yes, because there will be a lot of rust on the kitchen knife, there is a possibility of infection, and it is relatively safe after tetanus injection.

1 Depends on the case of the kitchen knife and finger injury.

Tetanus is a disease caused by an infection that has an incubation period. Generally speaking, when we talk about tetanus, we are talking about tetanus shots, if there are rust stains on the kitchen knife or the wound is very deep, you need a tetanus shot to prevent infection, because a small wound and a clean kitchen knife will not cause tetanus symptoms.

2 Tetanus is an infection of a wound caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. Clostridium tetani destroys the body's motor neurons, causing a variety of neurological disorders. Moreover, it has a certain incubation period, and the incubation period of tetanus is long or short, so it is difficult to make an objective judgment.

After tetanus, there will be a decrease in immunity, such as susceptibility to colds, and the wound cannot heal after Sui Jinyuan's injury.

31. Cleaning: After the kitchen knife is cut into the hand, the wound should be cleaned immediately, and if there is a medical box at home, the affected area should be scrubbed immediately with iodine wine and hydrogen peroxide. Isolate bacteria. If there is no medical kit, wash the affected area with running water.

2. Bandaging: After cleaning, sterile gauze can be bandaged, and minor symptoms such as scratching the skin can be bandaged without bandaging, which will be more conducive to wound healing.

4. It is better to inject tetanus injection within 24 hours of injury.

Tetanus injections should be given within 24 hours. Tetanus injections will not have such a big effect after a long time, so do not delay the time of the injection.

Of course, you need tetanus when you get a kitchen knife, no matter what you pull in your hand, as long as there is a wound, you need tetanus.

Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium, a conditional pathogen that grows and multiplies only under oxygen-free conditions or when the wound is deep and accompanied by aerobic infection.

Tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, so tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or punctured by rust-like iron objects.

You don't describe the extent and depth of the scratches. If you have only been scratched by non-rusty metal and the wound is not deep, you can avoid tetanus antitoxin injections as long as proper debridement is done. If you are really not sure, you can also go to the hospital to get an injection of tetanus antitoxin.

This kind of needle is not expensive, it should not exceed ten oceans.

Because tetanus antitoxin is an immune horse serum, which is a heterosexual protein to the human body, and has antigenicity (allergic reaction), an allergy test should be done before taking the drug. If the test result is negative, tetanus antitoxin can be injected directly, and if the test result is positive, desensitization injection, that is, small doses of tetanus antitoxin can be injected in 4---5 times. If you have used tetanus antitoxin for more than a week, if you use it again, you must also redo the **test.

No, tetanus is generally stabbed by rusty iron.

Not unless the kitchen knife is rusty.

Don't be so exaggerated, can't it stand up to it?

This doesn't need to be, it's not a big problem, just put a band-aid on it.
