Treatment and prevention of common sports injuries

Treatment of common sports injuries:

1. Scratches (damage caused by friction on the skin surface)

Treatment methods:

(1) Mild abrasions: Those with clean wounds can generally heal themselves by applying red or violet liquid.

(2) Severe abrasions: (the bleeding needs to be stopped first) cold compress method, limb elevation method, bandage pressure dressing method, direct finger pointing method to stop bleeding.

Cold compress method: It can constrict blood vessels, reduce local congestion, lower tissue temperature and inhibit nerve sensation. Therefore, it has the effects of stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and preventing swelling. It is often used for acute closed soft tissue injuries.

2. Epistaxis (bleeding caused by external impact on the nose)

Treatment method: The injured person should sit down, tilt his head back, breathe through the mouth temporarily, and plug the nostrils with gauze Apply a cold towel to the forehead and bridge of the nose to stop bleeding.

3. Sprain (when the range of joint movement exceeds the normal limit, it is caused by the torn surface of the ligaments, tendons and muscles attached to the joint)

Severe sprain treatment: Stop bleeding first, Pain relief. You can elevate the injured limb, rinse the injured area with cold water or apply a cold compress with a cold towel to constrict the blood vessels, reduce bleeding and relieve pain. Do not rub the heartbeat randomly to prevent increased bleeding. Then put cotton on the injured area and wrap it with a bandage. Use hot compresses 48 hours after the injury to promote the absorption of congestion.

4. Contusion (injury to subcutaneous tissue, muscles, ligaments or other tissues caused by blows with blunt instruments or direct external force, while the skin of the injured area is often intact or only slightly damaged.) The treatment is the same as (3) ).

5. Concussion (the head is struck by an external force or hits a hard object, causing excessive shock to the brain's nerve cells and fibers.) It can be divided into mild, moderate and severe concussions.

Management method: For patients with mild concussion, they can rest quietly in bed for one or two days and then participate in appropriate activities one week later. For moderate or severe concussions, the injured person should be kept absolutely quiet, lie on his back on a flat place, put a cold compress on the head, keep warm, and send him to the hospital for treatment in time.

6. Dislocation (Due to direct or indirect violence, the joint surface is separated from the normal anatomical position.)

Treatment method: Movements should be light and do not stretch or twist. You can apply cold compresses and bandages first to keep the joints immobile, and then ask a doctor for correction.

7. Fracture (the integrity of the bone is destroyed)

Treatment method: First, prevent shock, keep warm, stop bleeding and relieve pain, then bandage and fix, and send to hospital for treatment.
