Once there is trauma, don't use folk prescription casually. You should first seek immediate wound treatment and transfer it to pediatric surgery for professional treatment. (Photo/Huang Zhiwen) Zhang Jiren, an attending surgeon and a child of Guangxin Hospital, said that bicycles are all "iron" means of transportation. Many children are very excited when they first learn to ride a bike, so the frequency of going out to practice is greatly increased. Relatively speaking, because of unstable control, the probability of falling off the car is greatly increased. If you don't wear helmet, wrist protector, knee protector and other auxiliary devices, serious injuries may occur. There are more and more cases of bicycle injuries, such as falling into a valley from a mountain road, being rear-ended by a rear car after falling, and even being hospitalized by doctors riding bicycles themselves.
In the event of child trauma, parents should not be overly alarmed, and pay attention to the following principles of simple first-aid treatment of trauma:
1. hemostasis: directly cover the wound with sterile gauze to stop bleeding and raise the injured limb (higher than the heart).
Clean with cold boiled water or tap water first.
Dry it with a cotton swab (carefully wipe it from the inside out).
Advantages of re-wiping disinfection (wiping from the inside out).
If the wound is on a limb without clothing friction, there is no need to cover it with gauze.
The wound is big and deep, so it needs to be sent to the hospital for suture.
If the wound is dirty or caused by rust, you should go to the hospital for tetanus antitoxin.
Trauma needs the help of a doctor, as follows:
1. The depth of the wound is greater than 1 cm, or it reaches the fat layer or muscle layer, so suture is generally needed.
2. Excessive bleeding, or bleeding after pressing 10 minutes.
3. The foreign body in the wound cannot be taken out by itself.
4. Two days after the injury, the wound is still red and swollen, or there is secretion.
5. Injury will affect the movement of hands (fingers) or feet (toes).
Dr. Zhang Jiren said that in addition to the disinfection and suture treatment of the wound by emergency doctors, in order to avoid leaving scars on the wound, it is best to turn to pediatric surgery to take over the care of the wound, and manage the scars through scar-removing gel to prevent scars. (Photo/Huang) In addition to the disinfection and suture of the wound by the emergency doctors in the hospital, in order to avoid leaving scars on the wound, it is best to turn to pediatric surgery to take over the care of the wound. At present, there are scar-removing gels used for scar management and prevention.
Dr. Zhang Jiren said that this scar-removing gel is mainly made of silicone rubber, which has the functions of locking the water barrier, reducing water loss and preventing fibroblasts from being over-activated. You must wait until the wound is completely healed before you start using it. It is generally recommended to apply it continuously for 3 months, but if there are patients with swollen crab feet, it may take 6 months to reduce the height of swollen crab feet.
