How do you deal with a fall? How to deal with wounds after a fall?

1. Abrasions of first aid methods for falls.

Abrasions are the most common injuries. Usually, the wound can be scrubbed clean with warm water and blood without bandaging. Only when the injury is severe, the wound needs to be disinfected and a band-aid or traumatic plaster applied.

2. First aid methods for falling injuries.

This pain is caused by an overload on the muscles. The pain worsens when weight-bearing. Cool the injured area immediately (preferably ice for 30 to 60 minutes). An hour's delay in first aid means an extra day of post-treatment. People who are injured should stop exercising for at least a week.

3. First aid for falls: bruising.

Bruising is caused by kicking – such as when playing soccer ball – or by a violent collision. They cause blood vessels under the skin to rupture and blood to flow into the surrounding tissues, resulting in a purple patch. Cool the injured area immediately and cover it with an elastic bandage if possible.

4. Fracture of the first aid method for falls.

Symptoms such as pain, swelling, deformity, dysfunction and bleeding occur when the fracture ends puncture large blood vessels. When the fracture or suspected fracture is a fracture, it is necessary to avoid moving the injured person or injured limb, and fix and support the injured limb (if there is bleeding, the bleeding should be stopped first and then fixed), so that the injured person will not be stabbed by the broken bone and nerve due to transportation and bumps, so as to avoid additional damage and aggravate the condition.

5. First aid for falls: head injury.

The mild case is the brain**, generally no skull fracture, mild headache and dizziness, and no more than 30 minutes of coma. In severe cases, skull fractures, cerebral contusions, cerebral hemorrhage, and coma. Right.

Patients with craniocerebral injuries should race against time, notify the hospital to come to rescue in time, keep quiet and stay in bed, do not make unnecessary movements and examinations, and keep the airway unobstructed.

6. First aid methods for falling injuries - cervical spine injury.

Falls can cause lumbar spine, thoracic spine, cervical spine injury, the latter is the most serious, such as: falling on the head can cause cervical dislocation, fracture, mostly accompanied by spinal cord injury, quadriplegia. The hospital must be notified as soon as possible to come to the rescue.

During on-site first aid, the injured person should be allowed to lie flat on the spot or placed on a hard wooden board, and sandbags should be filled on both sides of the neck to keep the cervical spine in a stable state, keep the axis of the cervical spine consistent with the thoracic spine, and do not overextend, flex or rotate.

1. Thorough debridement

Remove the wound foreign body to avoid the wound residue leading to recurrent wound infection, resulting in prolonged or non-healing healing.

2. Proper disinfection:

The wound should be disinfected quickly, and for the first stage of suturing the incision, the wound can be scrubbed 2 or 3 times with an alcohol cotton ball from ** outward; For wounds with wounds, the disinfectant can be rinsed with saline after cleaning with antiseptic solution. If the local infection is controlled, try to avoid using antiseptic solutions to debride the internal wound.

In the process of wound healing, it is necessary to pay attention to regular disinfection, keep the wound clean, avoid contamination with pollutants, such as water, food, etc., clean and non-infected wounds, and generally change the dressing once every 3 to 5 days.

3. Moderate bandaging

Don't tie it too tightly, keep the wound moist, and fully contact oxygen, especially during the wound proliferative period, keeping the wound moist can increase the regeneration energy and migration speed of cortical cells, and promote healing; Some studies have found that moist wounds heal twice as fast as dry wounds.

If it's just a skin trauma, you can rub some iodine or red syrup, and if necessary, you can bandage it, if it's more serious, and there is a fracture, you should go to the hospital in time for **, agree with my point of view, thank you.

How do you treat a wound after a fall? We are bound to bump and bump in our daily life, and sometimes we accidentally fall and leave wounds on our bodies, so we need to take the right way to treat the wounds and prevent infection. Next, I will take you to see how to deal with the wound after a fall.

1. No wound, no broken skin, no swelling bag

How to do it: Wrap ice cubes in ice packs or towels and apply them to the affected area, and never leave them on the affected area all the time, because it is easy to get frostbite. It is recommended to apply ice for 10 to 20 minutes, during which you need to take it off every 2-3 minutes and rest for 1 minute to prevent frostbite.

2. No bleeding but bruising and swollen pockets

How to do it: At present, it is recommended to apply an ice pack or a cool towel (within 24 hours) to prevent the lump from continuing to grow. As for the safflower oil, which is most commonly used by parents, it can only be used after 24 hours.

3. Broken skin and bleeding

Specific method: It is only a simple bleeding effect, and it is recommended to use mild ointments such as iodophor, complexed iodine, and Baiduobang (choose one) to clean and prevent wound infection after disinfection. If the wound is deep and the bleeding does not stop, gauze or a band-aid will be applied to the affected area until the bleeding has stopped completely.

Dr. Wang reminds you that superficial small wounds can be cleaned and disinfected to allow them to heal on their own, and slightly larger wounds are recommended to go to the hospital for wet healing, and directly apply new dressings to reduce their pain and speed up healing.

What to do if the abrasion is suppurated

1. Remove the pus

The first thing to do is to remove the pus, and use a clean needle to suck the pus out, and then gently squeeze out the pus with a sterilized cotton swab.

2. Carry out disinfection and sterilization

After squeezing out the pus from the pus, it is necessary to disinfect and sterilize, so as to better kill the bacteria at the wound, clean the pus in time, and use it cleanly'Gauze or band-aids can be healed after a period of rest, try to choose clean gauze, because gauze is breathable.

3. Anti-infection**

If there is a scab on the wound, the scab with the pus part should be removed, cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, and then rinsed with iodine and normal saline in turn, if there is necrotic tissue to be removed, change the dressing 1 time a day, you can also do bacterial culture, and choose sensitive antibiotics according to the drug susceptibility test** After the wound grows fresh granulation tissue. Irrigation and antibiotics can be reduced or stopped, and suppurative wounds are complicated and have a long course of disease.

After a fall, there will be swelling in the localized area, and it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of fractures. X-rays of the swollen or painful area can be taken first, and if no fractures occur, ice can be applied within 24 hours of the injury to reduce the swelling and pain. For more than 24 hours, you can choose a hot compress, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and at the same time, it can also be combined with external drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

If significant fracture separation and displacement are detected, surgical fixation is required after the swelling has subsided. If it is an epidermal abrasion after a fall, the wound can be rinsed with normal saline, cleaned of foreign bodies and dust, and then disinfected with disinfectant to keep the wound dry and heal slowly. Before treating the wound after a fall, it is necessary to determine whether there is damage to important tissues and organs such as joints, tendons, and nerves in addition to epidermal damage.

If there is abnormal joint movement after the fall, especially if there is abnormal movement or obvious bone fracture, you should go to the hospital in time. Imaging examinations such as X-rays and CT are performed to determine whether there is any damage to the bones.

If the joint ligament is damaged, imaging tests such as MRI are also done to determine the degree of agitation of the injury. In the event of significant neurovascular injury, surgical repair is also necessary to reduce the impaired function caused by poor healing after surgery.
