How to first aid for burns, what to do if you have burns Teach you how to first aid

Acute phase**.

The principles of first aid for burns are rapid removal from the source of injury, immediate cold therapy, nearby first aid and transport.

Thermal burns. When flames, vapors, high-temperature liquids, high-temperature metals, etc. burns occur, should:

Take off clothes soaked in fire or boiling liquid as soon as possible, especially chemical fiber clothes, to avoid the fire or the hot liquid on the clothes from continuing to act and deepening the wound;

Douse the fire with water or jump into a nearby pool;

Roll on the spot to extinguish the flames, do not stand or run to avoid further burns or inhalation injuries to the head and face;

Closed and poorly ventilated sites should be left as soon as possible to avoid inhalation injury and asphyxiation;

Cold therapy, such as rinsing with plenty of clean water.

Chemical burns. The severity of the burn is related to the nature, concentration and contact time of the chemical, so no matter what kind of acid and alkali burns, it should be immediately rinsed with plenty of clean water for at least 15 to 30 minutes to dilute and remove the residual acid and alkali, and also have the effect of reducing pain.

Care should be taken to use a sufficient amount of water to quickly flush the residual chemicals from the wound, and to pay attention to the eyes, especially the cornea, for burns to the head and face, and to give priority to irrigation.

Electrical burns. In the event of electrical burn first aid, the power should be cut off immediately, and the patient should not be touched when the power is not cut off, if sudden death has occurred.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation such as artificial respiration and extracardiac compressions should be carried out at the same time as calling 120 for help, and transferred to the nearest hospital for further treatment in time.

Proper treatment is important in the acute phase of burns, and there are different approaches to acute treatment for different degrees of burns.

Minor burns. Clean the wound, protect the wound, and prevent infection.

If the pain is obvious, drugs should be used to relieve pain when the circulation and breathing are stable, and the changes in circulation and breathing should be carefully observed after the treatment.

Tetanus antitoxin is used to prevent tetanus. As a general rule, antibiotics are not used for infection prevention.

Moderate and severe burns.

Observe vital signs such as blood pressure and respiration, and check for inhalation injury, compound injury, poisoning, etc.

Keep your airways open.

Rapid establishment of intravenous access and examination of appropriate hematological markers.

Give fluids and catheterization**.

Tetanus antitoxin is used to prevent tetanus.

Monitor the infection closely and give antibiotics to fight the infection if necessary**.

For patients with high tension in the limbs and trunk, incision and tension reduction treatment are given on the basis of stable circulation.

First aid measures for burns are as follows:

1.First, rinse the wound with cold water and soak it in cold water for about half an hour, but if there is blistering or breaking, do not soak it.

2. Gently wipe the burned part with light salt water, and apply soy sauce or honey, lard, dog fat, ginger juice, etc. to the burned part, which can play a certain role.

3. When you are slightly burned, cut a few slices of raw pears and stick them on the wound, or put the dried waste tea residue into the fire to heat them, then mix them with vegetable oil and apply them to the wound, which can play a role in reducing swelling and relieving pain.

Fourth, if there is a situation where the clothes are in contact with **, do not take off the clothes in a hurry, so as to avoid blisters after tearing and scalding, you can wash with water to cool down first, and then take off the clothes carefully.

Burns can cause local pain and swelling, as well as blisters. After being burned, it can be carried out with external scald ointment under the guidance of a doctor**, and antibiotic drugs can also be used**. If it is more serious, you also need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and cooperate with the doctor to standardize**.

You can soak the burn area in cold water to cool down, and if there is a blister, do not pick it.

In life, we will inevitably have some unexpected situations, especially the situation that is prone to burns, which has a relatively large impact on us, and it is a very headache problem, so for us, learning to deal with burns in a timely manner has more benefits for us, so what should be done, let's take a look.

Once a burn is burned, the burn area should first be rinsed with cold running water and cooled for at least ten minutes. Cooling reduces the risk of pain, edema, and crusting. The more timely the cooling of the burn site, the longer the cooling time, the smaller the loss caused, it can be found that if we have burns, then timely cooling is very necessary, which can help us all better reduce the harm of burns and scalds, and we need to pay attention to it.

If further medical treatment is required, the wound can be gently covered with plastic wrap or a clean plastic bag temporarily, and the wound should not be covered with plastic objects. This preserves the wound and prevents infection. A safety film and a clean plastic bag are ideal coverings as it does not stick easily to the wound and allows air not to touch the surface from relieving pain.

If your child has blisters after being burned and has affected multiple parts of the body, including hands, feet, joints, or facial or subcutaneous tissues, they must call 120. The cream does not have a cooling effect on the wound. All the oils will prevent the heat from escaping, which is the same as what we need to do to cool down when we think that, if something is applied to the wound, it must be removed when going to the hospital for debridement, which can cause unnecessary pain and damage.

You can't use ice to cool down, ice will emit heat to further damage, and if you don't have water, you can use other cold, flowing liquids. For example, cola, orange juice, milk, etc., if the clothes stick to the burned area, you can remove the clothes or accessories around the wound, but do not touch any items stuck to the wound, which may lead to greater damage, so everyone should be careful, once there is a burn, then we need to try to avoid the damage of burns, otherwise we will have a lot of physical problems, which is not conducive to our health.

Above we have introduced some of the conditions of burns, you can find that the situation of burns is a very common problem now, such a situation is not conducive to our health, so the situation introduced above needs us to pay attention, it is particularly necessary to learn how to deal with burns, we must pay attention to it.

Injuries caused by direct contact with chemical substances are called chemical burns, and in chemical production, chemical burns are often accompanied by accidents in production or caused by corrosion, cracking, leakage, etc. The degree of chemical burns is related to the nature of the chemical substance, the time of contact, the location of contact, etc. The following is the relevant information I have compiled for you on the first aid method of chemical burns for your reference!

First aid for chemical burns

1. First aid methods for strong acid burns.

The color changes produced by various acid burns are also different, such as the sulfuric acid wound is blue-black or brownish-black; Nitric acid burns are yellow at first, then turn brown; Eye acid burns are yellowish-blue; The wound surface of trichloroacetic acid is white at first, and then becomes bronze. In addition, the change in color is also related to the shade of acid burns, with flush being the lightest and gray, brownish-yellow, or black being darker.

Immediately after acid burns, rinsing with water is the most important first aid measure, after irrigation, there is generally no need to use neutralizing agents, if necessary, the wound can be treated with 2%-5% magnesium hydroxide or soapy water, and still rinsed with plenty of water to remove the remaining neutralizing solution.

Wound management is generally done in the same way as burns. Because the scab formed after acid burns is intact, exposure is appropriate.

2. First aid methods for strong alkali burns.

After alkali burns, the wound should be flushed with a large amount of water, the longer the irrigation time, the better the effect, up to 10h, the effect is particularly good, but the effect is the worst for those who treat 2h after injury. If the pH value of the wound reaches 7 or more, acetic acid, 2% boric acid can be used to wet the wound and then rinse with water.

After the wound has been rinsed, it is best to use exposure** to observe changes in the wound. Deep burns should be treated with scab and skin grafting as soon as possible. Systemic treatment is the same as for general burns.

How to deal with chemical burns:

a) **Treatment of burns.

One is time (speed), that is, cleaning with water must be within 10 seconds of the burn occurring, otherwise chemicals may cause varying degrees of damage to the human body.

The second is the need for long-term rinsing, that is, rinsing with water for 15 minutes after the burn, and using a large amount of water to remove acids, alkalis and other chemicals from the surface of the human body, thereby reducing the degree of damage. In addition, calcium gluconate can be applied according to different chemicals and different burn sites.

Third, if the burns are severe, they will be sent to the hospital immediately after emergency treatment.

2) Treatment of eye burns.

Rinse your eyes with the nearest water, preferably in a basin. Immerse your face in water, peel your eyes away with your hands, and at the same time keep your eyes open and shake your head from side to side in the water so that the acids or alkaline substances that enter your eyes are quickly washed out, rinse for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention quickly after rinsing.

Mild smearing, heavy doctor's visits.
