Chuangke discount has become a must for many families. Some people even take it with them when they go out. Recently, the topic of amputation caused by improper use of band aid has become a hot topic for girls. How can band aid be used most correctly?
It turns out that a 4-year-old girl was admitted to a hospital in Suzhou. The terminal segment of her left middle finger was black and necrotic for many days. Amputation was needed to prevent her condition from further deterioration. It's surprising that the young girl's fingers are necrotic only because of a small band aid pasted after the injury. However, due to improper handling after the accident, the blood flow of her fingers is not smooth, and finally the fingers are necrotic.
Accompanying grandma told Deng Wei, the orthopaedic doctor of the hospital, about 10 days ago, Wen Wen Wen injured the end of her left middle finger, and bandaged it with a band aid. After two days, open the band aid on the finger again and find that the end of the finger has turned black.
'this must be amputated. "Deng Wei told reporters that at present, they should first judge whether Wen Wen's wound is infected or not. If the wound is not infected by bacteria, the wound will not expand. When the wound is stable, the amputation should be performed at a selected time.
Deng Wei said that in order to ensure the success of the operation, if the amputation is to be carried out in the future, at least the middle of the middle segment bone of Wenwen's left middle finger should be removed, so that the end of the left middle finger can be sutured. 'if the wound is infected, it may be more difficult to treat and the amputation may be expanded. '
Bandage is too tight to cause disaster
'this is not the first time. "Deng Wei told reporters that they had treated such cases once before. However, Deng Wei said that the cause of such a tragedy is not the band aid, but the use. Basically, it can be judged that it is caused by improper use of the patient. '
"It must be because the bandage is too tight when bandaging with a band aid, which causes the blood circulation of the fingers to be blocked and the fingers to be necrotic. 'said Deng Wei. In this regard, Wen Wen's grandmother confirmed. Originally, in order to prevent the cloth from loosening and falling off, Wen Wen wrapped it with cowhide.
Deng Wei said that generally speaking, after the injury, the fingers will have swelling and other discomfort. The bandage is too tight, resulting in poor blood flow and necrosis at the end of the finger, which will also give people the feeling of swelling and other discomfort. The same feeling, if it is a child, may not be aware of the danger.
Do not use band aids for these 4 kinds of wounds
Bandages are not universal. They are generally used for small wounds that can stop bleeding without suturing. The following types of wounds cannot be used with bandages.
Big and deep wounds:
If the wound is large and deep, it is not easy to stop bleeding, so it is not suitable to use band aid. Instead, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for regular debridement and suture, break the cold prevention needle, and use antibiotics to prevent infection if necessary.
Small and deep wounds:
This kind of wound is not easy to clean, easy to leave foreign matters and be contaminated by bacteria. At the same time, the band aid has poor water absorption and ventilation, which is not conducive to the discharge of secretion and pus from the wound, easy to make bacteria grow and multiply, causing or aggravating infection.
Animal scratch:
Wound caused by dog bite, cat scratch, snake bite and other animals shall not be bandaged to avoid the accumulation or spread of venom or virus in the wound.
Scald:
Bandages should not be used for skin ulceration and running water after scalding, otherwise secretion will promote infection.
Three things to pay attention to when using band aid
Before use:
Check whether there is any dirt left in the wound. If there is any foreign matter, the wound must be cleaned before the band aid can be applied.
When used:
Do not wrap it too tightly to avoid anaerobic infection and fever due to airtight wound.
After use:
Pay attention to the protection of the wound, less movement of the wound site, so as to make the wound heal as soon as possible. Don't press the wound with your hand frequently.
24 hours later, if the wound is found to have fever, intolerable pain, swelling and other abnormal conditions, it should be opened for inspection in time; if the wound is found to have infection such as swelling, exudation, etc., it should go to the regular hospital surgery immediately for disinfection and anti infection treatment, and sometimes it should also take antibacterial drugs.
