How to deal with burns, the probability of being burned in our life is still relatively low, but when the fire comes, we will inevitably be burned, and burns will leave many ugly scars, so let's share how to deal with burns.
How to deal with burns 1 1, physical cooling
If you are accidentally burned, you should immediately cool the wound with flowing cold water because there are fewer bacteria in flowing water.
Because the temperature at the wound is very high when you have just been burned, proper physical cooling will help to take away most of the heat from the surface skin and minimize the damage.
If the injury is serious, the washing time with clear water can be extended appropriately, but ice is not allowed to prevent the wound from being infected by bacteria, which will lead to further deterioration.
Take off your clothes.
While washing the wound with flowing water, we should carefully take off the clothes on the wound, so that the wound can better dissipate heat and play a role in cooling down.
If the clothes stick to the skin of the wound, don't take off the things that stick to the wound yourself, and don't pull off the clothes by force.
Instead, cut the clothes carefully with scissors, and don't break the blisters on the wound yourself, which can reduce the pain of the wound and prevent the secondary injury of the wound.
Step 3: bandage the wound.
After the wound is cleaned, cooled and cooled, the wound should be kept clean and fresh, then the wound should be smeared with special ointment for burns, and then the damaged skin should be covered with clean gauze, cotton cloth, lint-free towel or plastic wrap to prevent the wound from being invaded by bacteria and viruses in the air and causing skin infection.
4. Send a doctor for diagnosis and treatment
After taking a series of self-rescue measures for the burn wound, no matter how serious the burn is, it should be sent to the hospital in time.
If the burn area is too large and the burn situation is very serious, you should go to a professional burn and scald hospital at the first time and seek the help of a doctor. Remember not to delay time and avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.
No matter how careful you are in life, accidents are inevitable. In case of burns and scalds, you can't solve the problem by worrying.
So first of all, we should keep calm, and a stable mood can make us deal with emergencies more rationally.
It is helpful for us to remember the four-word emergency treatment formula of "rushing, taking off, wrapping and sending" when burning, so as to better minimize the harm of burns to human body.
How to deal with burns? 2 how to deal with burns and blisters?
1, check the epidermis after the bubble bursts.
For small burns, blisters are generally small and can be absorbed by themselves. If the blister is broken without rubbing, and the broken bottom skin is pink and relatively flat, there is no need to do too much treatment, because in this case, the blister is naturally broken, indicating that the wound is about to heal.
2. Wash the wound with normal saline.
After the blister bursts, there may be some exudate on the wound surface. At this time, it can be washed with normal saline, and then wrapped with clean gauze to keep the wound dry. Don't let the wound contact with water, which is beneficial to the rapid recovery of the wound.
3. Wash the wound with iodophor.
After the blister bursts, you can clean the wound with a sterile cotton swab first, and then apply iodophor evenly to the wound, 3~4 times a day, which can effectively prevent wound infection and promote wound healing.
4. Wrap it with vaseline gauze
For the broken blister, the residual blister skin can be cut off with disinfection scissors, the wound surface can be gently rolled with gauze, and then the wound surface can be covered with vaseline gauze, and the wound surface can be quickly recovered with multi-layer degreasing gauze and cotton pad.
Step 5 pay attention to your diet
Drink plenty of water after burns, adhere to the principle of high protein, high calorie and high vitamins in diet, and eat more milk, crucian carp soup, fish and shrimp, eggs and so on. And avoid greasy and high-sugar foods, which is conducive to the growth of wound cells and accelerate healing.
skill
If the wound is obviously infected after the blister bursts, please seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the illness.
Emergency measures after burns and scalds
(1) Rinse: rinse with running tap water or soak in cold water until local cooling and pain relief or apply a cold towel to the wound for at least 10 minutes. Don't put ice cubes directly on the wound to avoid damaging skin tissue. If there is no water on site, you can use any other cold and harmless liquid, such as milk or canned drinks.
(2) Take off: Never take off your clothes when you are scalded by hot water or hot soup, but first pour cold water on your clothes to cool down. Take off your clothes carefully after thoroughly soaking the wound. If clothes stick to your skin, don't tear them. You can only cut off the non-sticky part, leave the' sticky' part on the skin for post-treatment, and then cover the wound with clean gauze to prevent pollution. Never break a blister.
(3) soaking: soaking in cold water for at least 30 minutes can relieve pain. However, patients with large burn area or younger age should not be soaked for too long, so as to avoid shock caused by hypothermia and delay the treatment opportunity. But when the patient is unconscious or unable to wake up, he should stop soaking and send him to the hospital as soon as possible.
(4) Covering: If there is sterile gauze, it can be gently covered on the wound. If not, expose the small wound to the air and cover the big wound with clean sheets, sheets or gauze. Don't puncture the blisters.
(5) Send: It is best to go to a hospital with plastic surgery.
For patients with severe burns and scalds, it takes longer to rinse with cold water in the above steps, at least 10 minute. Call the emergency number immediately 120. Before the ambulance arrives, check the patient's respiratory tract, breathing and pulse, and make first aid preparations for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, such as monitoring breathing times and pulse.
How to deal with burns? 3. How to deal with deep burn scab?
The natural healing process of deep burn wounds is slow or even impossible. During the unhealed period of the wound, not only the patient suffers from pain and physical fatigue, but also the infection will spread or other complications will occur. This kind of wound will form scars or keloids after natural healing, which can lead to deformity and dysfunction. Therefore, active treatment should be taken to make the wound heal as soon as possible.
Deep burns are treated by exposure in principle, and escharectomy and skin grafting are started within 48 ~ 72 hours. The larger the area, the more active measures should be taken to remove the scab shell as soon as possible and cover the wound with skin graft.
1, scab cutting
Escharectomy is mainly used for third-degree burns, and the plane should reach deep fascia (face and back of hand are slightly shallow). If the deep tissue has been inactivated, it should be removed together. Skin grafting should be done as soon as possible after the wound is completely stopped bleeding. Scab removal is mainly used for deep second-degree burns, removing necrotic tissue to make fresh or basically fresh wounds, and then skin grafting. For deep second-degree burns of hands and joints, escharectomy can also be used to restore function as soon as possible. There is more bleeding in this kind of operation, so tourniquet can be used on limbs to reduce bleeding, and adequate blood transfusion should be prepared before operation. Both escharectomy and escharectomy should identify the grade of necrotic tissue, otherwise it will affect the success of skin grafting.
2, scabbing
First, keep the surface of scab skin dry and prevent infection under scab as much as possible. When the tissue under the scab autolyses and the scab shell is separated from the base (about 2 weeks later), the scab shell is removed. The wound is granulation tissue, and there are often different degrees of infection. The infection was controlled and the granulation tissue grew well by wet compress and washing with liquid medicine. Wound granulation without pus, fresh color, no edema, blood oozing, skin grafting can be done.
This method is scabbing step by step, which is called silkworm erosion scabbing method. In order to reduce infection and accelerate the separation of scab and skin, antibiotics, protease or traditional Chinese medicine preparations can be applied to the wound, but mature experience has not been obtained. Escharectomy is simpler than escharectomy and escharectomy, but it will inevitably lead to infection and prolong the treatment time, so it is not the first choice for escharectomy.
