At 15:08 on July 21, Tao Shengnan's emergency team from the Dadong No. 1 Branch of the Shenyang Emergency Center received an order from the 120 command center: "There was a traffic accident at the intersection of Laodong Road and Wenmao Road, and an injured person needs urgent treatment, please go quickly." The emergency team set off immediately after receiving the instruction, and the driver, Chen Qi, quickly confirmed the address and rushed to the scene.
After arriving at the scene, the emergency team learned that the injured man, 70 years old, had accidentally had an accident with a motor vehicle while riding an electric vehicle, resulting in open injuries to his legs and unbearable pain and inability to move, so they called 120 for help. After a quick physical examination by Dr. Tao Shengnan, the two doctors and nurses immediately carried out debridement and bandaging splints on the injured person's legs to avoid secondary injury, and after dealing with the trauma, the two stretcher bearers carried the injured person into the car, and Dr. Tao Shengnan conducted a second physical examination, and the nurse assisted the doctor in checking vital signs, and then drove to the hospital for the next step of treatment.
The emergency doctor of Shenyang Emergency Center reminds you:
It is not uncommon for fractures to occur in daily life, such as accidents, falls, falls, etc. If a fracture or suspected fracture occurs, you should call 120 in time and wait for professional treatment, and do not carry it without permission to avoid secondary injury.
Let's talk about a broken calf today, what should I do?
First of all, it is necessary to take X-rays, and according to the films, see if the fracture is out of place to determine the next treatment plan, so as to create conditions for the recovery of the fracture in the later stage.
1. If the position is good, it can be fixed directly with plaster, and the misplaced must be actively reduced, which is the first step conducive to later recovery.
2. It is necessary to pay attention to the distal blood circulation and sensation, because some calf fractures may be more serious at that time, and the soft tissue injury is also more severe, and some patients may have compartment syndrome, which will affect the distal blood circulation and sensation, and should be treated in time.
3. It is necessary to elevate the affected limb at ordinary times, which is conducive to venous return and swelling.
4. The diet needs to avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking, and quit alcohol, as these can affect fracture healing.
5. Generally, some drugs to promote blood circulation and blood stasis and promote fracture healing are generally used.
6. Protect to about one and a half months to recheck the X-ray, and then carry out functional exercises.
