Recently, Fuzhou has entered the mode of "freezing people", and "artifacts" to keep out the cold have been introduced one after another, such as electric heaters, hand warmers, hot water bottles and baby warmers. However, improper use of warm babies and hot water bottles may become "scalding artifacts". Qian Qian (a pseudonym), a 25-year-old girl from Fuzhou, suffered extensive burns on her arm due to improper use of warm baby. The doctor reminded that before using heating items, you should know the temperature range of the items and take corresponding protective measures. If you are accidentally burned, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Keep your baby warm, stick meat, keep warm and burn your arm.

Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the warm baby that gets hot as soon as it is posted has become a necessary "cold artifact" in Qian Qian. She put the warm baby directly on her skin, but soon she felt a stabbing pain in her left hand. When she turned on the warm baby, her arm had been blistered. She hurried to the Third People's Hospital of Fujian Province, and Dr. Chen Shujiao gave her emergency treatment.

The reporter saw on the online shopping platform that the sales of warm babies are very large, and some online stores have reached nearly one million pieces. Dr. Chen said that warm babies are very popular with the public because of their convenience, but they can't be directly attached to the skin, and the highest fever temperature can reach about 65 degrees Celsius. If the warm baby is directly used on the skin, it will cause cryogenic burns in a short time. When using, it is best to check the skin every 1 hour. If you find erythema or other discomfort, stop using it immediately.

Understand the temperature range of heated items.

Dr. Chen said that long-term contact with "cold-keeping artifacts" such as warm babies is like "slow stew", which makes people unconsciously "cryogenic burns".

She said that the pain of low-temperature burn wounds is not obvious, and only redness, blisters, peeling or whitening appear on the skin, and the area is often small. Although it doesn't look serious on the surface, the wound is deep and even causes deep tissue necrosis. If not handled properly, it may fester and it will be difficult to heal for a long time.

"There are cases of being burned by heating equipment every year." Dr. Chen suggested that citizens should know the temperature range of heating items before using them and take corresponding protective measures. If you are accidentally burned, rinse with cold water, try to cut clothes with scissors to avoid blisters, then cover the wound with sterile gauze or clean towels and cotton cloth and fix it, keep the wound clean and go to the hospital in time.
