    **The treatment method for frostbite at low temperature is analyzed as follows:

    If you are frostbitten by low temperature, you should be treated scientifically and correctly as soon as possible, so as to minimize the injury of the injured person. In addition, the wrong way to dispose of it can cause unnecessary trouble and even lifelong disability to the injured person.

    If a person with low temperature frostbite is found, he should quickly take off the wet clothes, shoes and socks of the casualty, and place the casualty in warm water at 38-42 degrees Celsius and take a bath; If the clothing has been frozen on the body of the wounded, it should not be forcibly taken off to avoid injury**, but it can be soaked in warm water together with the clothing and removed after thawing.

    Localized frostbite is classified into four degrees according to its severity. First-degree frostbite: Injury to the epidermis.

    Local redness, swelling, pain and heat, scabbing and healing after about 1 week. Second-degree frostbite: damage to the dermis.

    Redness, swelling, pain and itching are more obvious, local blisters, and no infection heals after scabbing 2 to 3 weeks. Third-degree frostbite: deep into the subcutaneous tissue.

    In the early stage, it is red and swollen with large blisters, ** from pale to blue-black, sensation is lost, and the tissue is dry necrosis. Fourth-degree frostbite: Injuries to muscles and bones.

    Dry and wet gangrene develop, requiring skin grafting and amputation.

    In the event of frostbite, if possible, the patient can be allowed to enter a warm room, and at the same time soak the frostbitten area in a water temperature of 38 to 42 degrees, the water temperature should not exceed 45 degrees, and the immersion time should not exceed 20 minutes. If frostbite occurs in the wild, you can put the frostbitten area in your arms or that of a rescuer to warm up and quickly restore blood circulation to the frostbitten area. In the emergency treatment of frostbite, the frostbitten area should never be rubbed with snow or roasted with fire.

    In the process of on-site treatment, you should immediately seek help from a medical institution.

    1.Quickly get out of the cold environment to prevent further freezing;

    2.Hurry up and rewarm quickly as soon as possible;

    3.Topical application of frostbite cream;

    4.Improves local microcirculation;

    5.anti-shock, anti-infection and warmth;

    6.The use of internal drugs such as blood circulation and stasis;

    7.If the second and third degree frostbite cannot be distinguished, it will be treated as third-degree frostbite**;

    8.Surgical management of frostbite should minimize disability and preserve viable limb function to the greatest extent.

    The basic goals of frostbite are rapid rewarming, preventing further cold exposure, and restoring circulation. Early stages of frostbite** involve covering the frozen area or other body surfaces with clothing or warm hands to keep them at the right temperature to maintain an adequate blood supply. A quick water bath rewarming is required, and the water bath temperature should be 37 43, suitable for all kinds of frostbite.

    Unless contraindicated, analgesics should be taken during rapid thawing to relieve pain. When the ** is rosy and silky, it indicates that it has completely thawed. Freezing limb wiping with ice, dry heat, or slow rewarming is contraindicated as this can further injure the tissue; Any friction against the injured area is prohibited.

    In hypothermia patients with frostbite, it is important to complete fluid resuscitation and core temperature recovery prior to limb rewarming to prevent sudden onset of hypotension and shock. Anticoagulants are recommended to prevent thrombosis and gangrene, and pentoxifylline, ibuprofen, and aspirin may be effective. Antimicrobials are used to prevent infection, and tetanus antitoxin is given promptly.

    The recovery process can take up to several months.

    Well, it's simple, clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol (it's quite painful), wrap it in clean gauze, clean it regularly, change the gauze to prevent wound infection, and it's best not to eat soy sauce, it will leave a scar

    Hello! SPT** Management TrainerAnswers for you:

    Minor injuries: hot water.

    Soak your hands and feet frequently, and when you just show signs of frostbite, you can soak your hands and feet in hot water to get local frostbite. When people are frostbitten, they always want to bake a fire, or scald it with hot water. If it is mild frostbite, the frostbite part is only a little red, a little painful, and there is no damage to the muscles and blood vessels.

    Cut off a slice of fresh ginger and gently rub the chilblains until you feel a local sensation of heat, or use a piece of fresh ginger, heat it next to the stove and cut it into slices and rub it on the affected area. Or mash 50 grams of ginger, soak it in white wine for one or two, stir well and apply it to the affected area, three times a day.

    Take an appropriate amount of vinegar and pour it into an iron fist, then heat it on the fire, stop heating after feeling the temperature is slightly hot, and then cancel a piece of poisoned gauze dipped in vinegar and apply it to the affected area of chilblains.

    Take 20g of angelica and peony, 15g of cinnamon branches, 5g of asarum and licorice, 10g of mutong and ginger, and 5 jujubes. Put the medicine into a pot, add 500ml of water, heat and boil (warm fire) and turn off the heat for 5 minutes. Smoke the frostbite area on the hand with steam, wait for the liquid medicine to drop to the appropriate temperature, and immerse the frostbitten part of the hand in the liquid medicine with the residue for 15-20 minutes.

    Twice a day. Serious injuries: chilblain cream, go to the hospital.

    In the case of severe frostbite, fire and water scalding are not only not beneficial, but harmful.

    In severe frostbite, the frozen part is not only red and swollen, but also the blood vessels are also frostbitten, and the blood stagnates and forms a green bump, the blood flow is not smooth, and the nutrients transported are also reduced. Fortunately, at this time, the temperature of the frozen part is still relatively low, and the nutrients consumed are not much, so the phenomenon of tissue necrosis does not occur. However, if you immediately roast the fire or scald it with hot water, the temperature of the frozen part will increase rapidly, and various tissues inside will become active, and the nutrients needed will suddenly increase, and the blood vessels will be injured, and the blood flow will not be smooth, and a large amount of nutrients will not be able to be transported.

    As a result, the nutrients needed by these tissues are in short supply, their ability to resist disease is reduced, and they are prone to necrosis. So what to do with severe frostbite?

    Stay in the house for half an hour to warm up.

    When the frozen part is no longer numb and you feel it, use a basin of warm water to soak the frozen part for a while, and then replace it with a basin of slightly warmer warm water and soak it for a while. Soak it a few more times and gradually increase the temperature of the water to warm up the frozen part. Scalding water should never be used.

    You can drink some hot soup such as chili soup, which is good for dispelling cold.

    If the frostbitten part has blistered or is already broken, do not wash it with warm water, do not bake it, it is better to apply frostbite cream and wrap it with clean gauze.

    If the injury is too severe, then you should go to the hospital immediately** without delay.

The bee's tail has a hard stinger that connects to the internal organs of its body, which produce toxins called venom glands. When we are stung by a bee, the venom will flow down the sting into our body, causing redness, swelling, heat and pain in the sting, and sometimes poisoning, causing symptoms such as dizziness, fever, shortness of breath and nausea. In order to reduce the pain and avoid poisoning, the hard sting can be removed from the wound site in order to reduce the pain and avoid poisoning. >>>More
