In order to keep warm and prevent nails from scratching the face, many parents of newborns often choose to let their babies wear special gloves for protection when taking care of them. The thin line is noisy! Gloves wrapped around fingers can cause the baby to amputate.
Dr. Li Zipeng, a plastic surgeon at Children's General Hospital, said that in order to keep warm and prevent nails from scratching the face, many parents of newborns often choose to let their babies wear special gloves to protect them. The same is true of the couple named Chen in the case. Since the little girl was born, every time after taking a bath, they will let the child wear gloves to keep out the cold until the next bath.
It was cold a while ago, and it took three days to take a bath. I didn't expect to take off my gloves. I was surprised to find that the middle finger of the child's left hand was entangled in the thin thread falling off the glove, which led to the black front end of the nail. Dr. Li Zipeng, a plastic surgeon, diagnosed that the front end of the middle finger of this baby girl was tightly wound by thin thread for too long, which caused serious damage to blood vessels, nerves and cells. She was ischemic and necrotic, missed the opportunity of repair and had to amputate. Fortunately, the amputation site is a short section in front of the finger, so the hand operation will not be affected in the future. When you grow up, you can also make finger covers to help beautify your appearance.
The doctor reminded me:
Dr. Li Zipeng appealed that injuries often happen unintentionally, especially when babies are uncomfortable, and they can't get rid of themselves. Even when adults' hair is wrapped around their fingers, feet or limbs, it may cause great injuries and tragedies. Remind parents that if they want to help their baby put on clothes or gloves and socks, they should pay special attention to whether the thread inside has fallen off to avoid being entangled when wearing it. In addition, the place where children sleep and lie down should be kept clean at all times to prevent the baby from being hurt when grabbing.
