Common mistakes in dealing with scalds
Apply toothpaste
Toothpaste not only cannot resist infection, but also increases the difficulty of follow-up treatment, affecting the medical staff to correctly judge the degree of burns and scalds.
Spread soy sauce
The salts in soy sauce can cause severe dehydration of the wound cells, like sprinkling salt on the wound, which can lead to aggravated damage. In addition, the bacteria contained in soy sauce can also cause wound infection.
Apply purple potion
The purple potion will scab over the scald wound, causing the wound to be masked, and the color of the potion will also affect the judgment of the scald wound.
Spray liquor
The use of liquor on the wound will not only cause severe pain to the injured person, but also aggravate the wound injury, and the wound may absorb a large amount of alcohol and may cause alcohol poisoning.
Apply ice directly to the wound
Since the temperature of the ice cube is below zero degrees Celsius, the direct contact of the ice cube with the wound will cause the blood vessels in the skin to shrink sharply, reduce the heat dissipation of the deep tissues, and the prolonged low temperature will also cause further damage to the already burned tissues, such as may lead to frostbite of the tissues, aggravating the injury.
Squeeze the blisters
Turning a closed wound into an open wound increases the chance of bacterial infection. If blisters occur, do not cut them on their own, and if the blisters have been broken, try to keep the skin intact.
Burns and scalds are common accidental injuries in life, caused by flames, boiling water, hot oil, electric current, hot steam, radiation, chemicals, etc.
In mild cases, the skin is damaged, causing swelling, blisters, and pain, while in severe cases, the skin is burned, and even blood vessels, nerves, and tendons are damaged at the same time. Factors such as severe pain and skin oozing caused by burns can lead to shock, and in the later stages, complications such as infection and sepsis can be life-threatening.
What should I do if I get burned? Many people miss the golden first aid time for burns because they don't know the first aid knowledge of burns.
Within 2 hours after a burn is the golden time for first aid.
Indexing of burns
Internationally, the three-degree four-degree method is usually used, which is divided into first-degree burns, superficial second-degree burns, deep second-degree burns, and third-degree burns.
When I and II degree burns occur, do not panic, you can follow the first aid five-character formula "flushing-off-soaking-cover-sending" treatment, which can alleviate the harm of burns to the human body to a certain extent.
