Is a tetanus shot used for wound inflammation?

Tetanus is a special type of infection that is mainly caused by metal objects containing rust or soil contaminants that puncture or scratch the skin, so that tetanus bacilli can invade the human body and induce the occurrence of disease. Tetanus due to the lack of specific drugs** and the rapid progression of the course of the disease, so the mortality rate of patients is high, its typical symptoms are wry smile, angular reflexion, general convulsions and drooling, patients often due to asphyxia and respiratory failure resulting in death, so after trauma when the possibility of tetanus infection is suspected, it should be timely injected with tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immune globulin within 24 hours to prophylactize.

Tetanus bacilli is a gram-positive sporogenic anaerobe. If the wound is deep and small, it is more likely to develop the disease if it is accompanied by other bacteria (or the presence of foreign objects such as wood or glass shards). The wound is inflamed and swollen, and there is no "anaerobic" condition for the reproduction of tetanus bacilli, and the probability of tetanus infection is relatively low.

Pay attention to keep the wound clean, take oral antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection, disinfect and change the wound in time every day, and avoid water before the wound heals. Tetanus antitoxin injections are not required in the routine management of trauma.

Not all wounds require tetanus shots. Tetanus shots are considered only when the wound is narrow and deep or when the contamination is severe.

Tetanus is a traumatic infectious disease caused by the production of exotoxins by Clostridium tetani.

An anaerobic environment is a condition for Clostridium tetani activation.

In the deepest part of that deep and narrow wound, oxygen cannot reach, and it is easy to form an oxygen-free environment.

Be especially vigilant when you step on a nail and get a deep needle.

Infected wounds are careless, and if they are infected with aerobic bacteria, they can easily create an anaerobic environment and activate Clostridium tetani.

Therefore, the wound must be paid attention to to avoid infection.

Clostridium tetani releases toxins that are harmful to the human body when they multiply, so it is important to find effective and specialized ways to remove them.

Antitoxin, also called toxin antibodies, is specifically used to remove toxins.

Tetanus shots can quickly allow the body to obtain toxin antibodies, which have the ability to remove toxins.

Patients may experience persistent generalized muscle contractions, spasms, and symptoms such as angular arch reflexion or convulsions.

During the seizure, the patient is conscious, the expression is painful, each seizure lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, the duration of the intervals between seizures varies, and the frequent seizures indicate a serious condition.

If you are afraid of tetanus if you have a wound, you can take artificial immunization to prevent it.

When Clostridium tetani enters the body, what really hurts people is the tetanus spasmodic toxin it releases.

In fact, the immune system has the ability to remove tetanus spasm toxin. As long as we get some "fake" tetanus spasmodic toxin into the human body in advance, it will attract the attention of the immune system.

When toxins appear in the body, the immune system quickly removes them.

This is how the tetanus vaccine works.

Whether the patient needs tetanus vaccine after trauma is closely related to the wound of the trauma, and the specific situation is considered as follows: 1. Tetanus vaccine is needed: if the wound is open, especially if the wound is more seriously contaminated, it is recommended to debride the wound in time for the deeper wound, and then disinfect, and inject tetanus antitoxin intramuscularly to prevent the occurrence of tetanus.

2. No tetanus vaccine is required: If the wound is intact, that is, it is not connected to the outside world, no tetanus vaccine is required in this case. Tetanus can cause more serious consequences, patients will have angular reflexion, dyspnea, respiratory muscle spasm and other related symptoms, which will be life-threatening, so when there is an open wound, it is necessary to carry out tetanus antitoxin vaccination in a regular hospital in time.

If the patient has a positive skin test prior to tetanus antitoxin vaccination, tetanus immune globulin is usually indicated.

Not all ** wounds require a tetanus shot. Generally, if the wound is large or deep, it is easy to cause tetanus, and it is generally recommended to inject tetanus vaccine within 24 hours after the injury to prevent the occurrence of tetanus. In the case of traumatic wounds, it is necessary to pay attention to the hygiene of the wound to avoid infection, you can choose to use alcohol or iodophor for disinfection, or you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally.

I hear such words all the time, but many people don't know what tetanus is. Tetanus is actually the following: after being scratched, the underlying tissues will be exposed, and bacteria will enter it, which will bring toxins to the company, causing necrosis, which is very bad for health. The wound will also be prone to infection, so there can be no intact **.

But there are some things that many people will ignore, that is, there are types of wounds, and not all scratches have to be hit. Depending on the nature of the injury and the individual's immunization status, if it is a susceptible group, or a person who cannot actively immunize, it is necessary to get vaccinated. It should be reminded that it is important not to fight, not to look at the size of the wound, the size cannot be the deciding factor.

Generally, people with puncture wounds, snatch injuries, crush injuries, burns, and foreign bodies in the wound need to be injected.

For small scratches in ordinary life, which are not easily infected, there is no need to go for injections, and don't panic too much. To distinguish their own situation before fighting, wounds can not be ignored not to fight, some situations should be beaten, if you drag not to fight, it may bring adverse effects to the body, or should be cautious, do not lose the ability to judge yourself.

What kind of situation exactly must be played?

Tetanus must be used for wounds caused by high-risk groups, such as workers working on construction sites, as well as police officers and military personnel, all of which are high-risk wounds that are prone to infection and may cause damage to the body if not treated well. There are also several situations that also need to be hit, that is, there are unclean wounds, contaminated wounds, and it is easy to get infected and necrosis.

Unclean wounds are places where bacteria are easy to produce, such as armpits, groins and special parts, which are usually not paid attention to, and if the wound cannot be treated in time, it will increase the chance of infection and bring greater damage.

Contaminated wounds are said to be contaminated with unclean things, such as the soil produced in swamps, as well as saliva and feces are also pollutants, and usually after being bitten by animals, it is recommended to be beaten, and this is the reason. There are also burns and frostbite wounds, which are also contaminated wounds, and necrosis will occur when they come into contact with the air.

Tetanus is usually caused by tetanus bacillus infection, which is usually present in deep wounds or contaminated wounds, such as rusty nails that stab the foot. Because the wound can be deep and the rust may contaminate the wound, be sure to inject tetanus. For example, if there is a superficial scratch, because the wound is relatively shallow, it may not damage the dermis and is in an open state, so tetanus bacilli are not easy to infect.

Tetanus bacilli is an anaerobic bacterium, and the medical anaerobic bacterium is an oxygen-hating bacterium, if the wound is relatively superficial, it can be fully exposed to oxygen, and there will be no tetanus bacillus infection. However, if the wound is deep, it is difficult to avoid anaerobic conditions in deep wounds, and tetanus infection can also occur. Regardless of the type of wound, the wound should be cleaned in time, and if a contaminated wound is found, it should be locally disinfected and covered with a clean dressing.

If you can't decide whether the wound needs tetanus or not, you should go to the hospital for further treatment. Usually hospital tetanus is injected in the emergency department, so no matter what time of day the wound infection, you can go to the emergency department and let the emergency doctor help determine whether tetanus is needed and whether further cleaning of the wound is needed.

It's hard to say, but when you go to the hospital, the doctor will definitely give you a tetanus injection, which is just a prevention, in fact, many wounds are not necessary.

Question 1: Why do you need tetanus shots after a person is injured? Tetanus is a long-established Clostridium infection, which can be caused by Clostridium tetani invading human wounds, growing and multiplying, and producing toxins.

Tetanus bacilli and its toxins cannot invade the normal ** and mucous membranes, so tetanus occurs after injury. Tetanus is a risk of any open injury. The early symptoms of tetanus are muscle cramps, often referred to as "cramps".

The earliest symptom in most patients is facial muscle spasms, which are characterized by the inability to open the mouth and painful muscle spasms in front of the ears when chewing food. Many patients mistakenly think that it is a dental disease and go to the dentistry. The dentist often only finds spasms of the masticatory muscles and temporal muscles, but there is no dental disease in the mouth that causes difficulty in opening the mouth.

The more the patient is asked to open his mouth, the more the patient cannot open it, and even closes it tighter and tighter. At this time, if there is a slight negligence on the part of the brother, it can be delayed, but if you have the knowledge of diagnosis in this area, you can think of tetanus and get a timely ** mold stool slip, most of which can be cured. However, many dentists do not necessarily have this knowledge, so there are many delays.

Once the muscles of the whole body spasm and twitch, and then turn the head to think of tetanus, the prognosis is very bad.

Question 2: Why tetanus shots Definition of tetanus: Tetanus is a temporary functional change in the central nervous system caused by the multiplication of tetanus bacilli in a pyogenic wound to produce exotoxins. The clinical manifestations of tetanus are persistent systemic skeletal muscles.

Question 3: If you are pierced by an iron nail, why do you need a tetanus shot, and what does it mean I think it depends on your own thoughts, if you don't think it's deep, you don't need to take it, you won't be the unlucky person. Hehe.

Question 4: Why tetanus shots, do all wounds have to be treated with metal, chickens and dogs and other broken ones should be tetanus shots.

Question 1: When does the tetanus shot take effect 30 points Theoretically, there is a sea for 24 hours, but after the injury, if you feel that you should have tetanus, you should go to the shot immediately, if you don't get it, the brain will always think about these things in the future, which is not good for your health.

Question 2: Under what circumstances should tetanus be injected Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium, which is a conditional pathogenic bacterium, which is easy to grow and multiply only under anaerobic conditions or when the wound is deep and accompanied by aerobic bacterial 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.

Question 3: Under what circumstances do wounds need tetanus injections Tetanus is a long-established Clostridium infection, which can be caused by tetanus bacilli invading human wounds, growing and multiplying, and producing toxins.

The deeper and dirtier the wound, the more suitable it is for the growth and reproduction of tetanus bacilli, and the more opportunities for tetanus to occur.

If it is only rubbed through the epidermis and the wound is not deep, as long as it is properly debrided, or rubbed with a disinfectant such as red syrup, it is sufficient, and there is no need to inject tetanus antitoxin; However, if there is a deep wound, or the wound is contaminated with soil, iron embroidery and other pollutants, then it must be beaten. Because tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or punctured by rusty iron tools. And it is best to get a tetanus shot within 24 hours;

Question 4: When do I need a tetanus shot? Tetanus injections are generally given in the following cases:

1. Newborns.

2. The wound wound is deep, the area is large, and the pollution is heavy.

3. Extensive burns.

4. There is a situation to pay attention to: being pierced by a rusted iron nail is easy to ignore because the wound is small and the bleeding is small. It is best to do it within 24 hours, but also after 24 hours, and if necessary, it is necessary to have an intravenous point.

Tetanus shots are a measure to prevent and suppress wound deterioration or further deterioration!
