Cleaning a wound before applying bandages may speed up the healing process.If you want to clean your wound, you'll need to rinse it with water.If you can't get it all out with sanitized tweezers, you need to see a doctor.If you can't stop the bleeding, your wound is very deep, or you notice signs of an infection, you should see a doctor.
Step 1: Take a look at the wound.
To treat an injury, it's important to examine it closely.You need to know the nature and severity of the wound.Take a close look at the injury and pay attention to the amount of blood.The person is bleeding fast.Is the blood flowing quickly or slowly?There are foreign objects in the wound.This could be the cause of the wound, like a piece of glass.There is dirt or debris around the wound.There is evidence of a bone injury, such as a protruding bone or inability to move a limb.If the person was injured in a fall, look for this.There is evidence of internal bleeding, such as large purple areas on the skin or abdominal pain.If there is an animal attack, look for signs of bites and injuries.It is helpful to know what the injuries look like if you live in an area with venomous snakes.Seek medical attention if you suspect the animal has the disease.
Step 2: Determine if there is a need for medical attention.
Minor wounds can be treated at home.In the case of a serious wound, the injured person should see a doctor.If the wound is bleeding a lot and it won't stop, seek medical attention.The wound is very deep.This may need stitches.There is a lot of trauma to the head.There is evidence of internal bleeding.The injured person has not had a tetanus vaccine and the wound is dirty.This is important if the wound came from a rusty metal object.The person takes blood thinners.If the person has suffered head trauma, this is very important.
Step 3: Stop the bleeding.
Wrap the wounded area with excess fabric and apply gentle pressure to the wound.The wounded area should be above the person's heart.Blood flow to the wound will be decreased if the wounded area is elevated.Immediate medical help is needed if bleeding doesn't stop within 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4: There are small foreign objects.
Carefully remove any objects that you can from the wound, such as a small rock, splinter, or fishhook.If you have them, use them for small objects.Don't remove large objects from a wound.You can open the wound and increase the bleeding.If there is a large amount of debris in the wound.Seek medical attention for a road rash injury.Local anesthesia may be a good idea if you want to remove the debris.
Step 5: Irrigate the wound.
The next step is to thoroughly clean the area with warm, flowing water after the bleeding has stopped.The most important step is promoting swift recovery.If you're in a pinch, you can use a large bottle of saline solution for contact lenses or a bulb syringe filled with warm tap water.The liquid should be squeezed out of the wound.For a volume of two liters, repeat.You won't have to use as much water on the face.The areas have a lot of blood vessels that will clean the wound.The best volume and pressure of irrigation is provided by a 60cc syringe with IV catheter tip.Irrigation is provided to get behind skin flaps and other difficult areas.If you go to a doctor, he or she will most likely use this.Warm tap water can be used.Run at least two liters, the size of a large plastic soda bottle, over the wound.Continue until the wound areas are free of debris.Cool water should be used to bring down the temperature.Irrigation reduces tissue damage when there is a chemical burn.
Step 6: Bandage the wound.
Wrap the wound in a bandage after cleaning it.Mobility is restricted so that wounds can heal.Further injury and infection are protected by it.The bandage should be slightly larger than the wound.Most wounds will work with any commercially available bandage material.Gauze is rolled in 2x2 or 4x4 options depending on the wound size.Burns, abrasions, and wounds with irregular edges should be covered with a non-stick or TelFA pad as dried blood and healing skin can stick to gauze.Iodine impregnated bandages are best for wounds that need to stay open.
Step 7: Look at the wound daily.
Check the wound daily after 48 hours.If you remove the bandage, look for signs of infections.If you see signs of an illness, contact the doctor.If the bandage doesn't come off easily, soak it in warm water.If the wound is exposed, look for signs of an illness.They include redness of the skin around the wound edges or moving up the injured limb.Look for drainage that is greenish-yellow.The injured person's temperature should be checked.You need to seek immediate medical attention for anything over 100.4.A doctor may need to reopen the wound if it becomes trapped inside the skin.Some wounds need antibiotics or an operation.In cases where the wound was not properly irrigated, this is common.If you have a chronic skin wound, it's a good idea to go to a wound care clinic.People with diabetes are at risk of developing non-healing wounds.
Step 8: Irrigate the wound.
If the wound is clean, keep it clean.Run water over the wound.If you have blood, wash it off with soap and water.The surrounding skin and parts of the wound that are not wide open can be washed with soap and water.You can wash the area and sing the birthday song at the same time.
Step 9: An antibiotic should be applied.
After you cleanse the wound, apply a coating of Neosporin or another antibiotic to it with a Q-tip.This reduces the risk of infections.This isn't a substitute for thorough cleaning and irrigation.Don't apply anything if the wound is macerated.
Step 10: Bandaged the wound.
Wrap the wound with a clean bandage.Keep the bandage clean and dry.Once the wound is healed, repeat the inspection process daily.For at least the first few days, elevate the wound as much as possible.The swelling and pain will be minimized by this.
