What should I do if I am bitten by a dog?

1.Examination The receiving medical staff should first check the patient’s injury site, size, shape, bleeding, degree and extent of injury, etc. after receiving the patient. 2.Cleaning and disinfection (1) Rinse the wound with soapy water or water for at least 15 minutes. When rinsing deeper wounds, sterilized saline or water for injection can be used to infuse deeper wounds for cleaning, and if necessary, consider taking dilation surgery to remove necrotic tissues or foreign bodies around wounds after rinsing treatment. (2) Disinfection Local disinfection of the wound with 75% alcohol or 2-3% iodophor, etc. 3.Treatment Treat symptomatically if necessary with tetanus antitoxin and other antibiotics, but the injection site should be staggered with the injection site of human rabies vaccine, anti-rabies serum or rabies human immunoglobulin. 4.Suture (if necessary) If the wound is large and deep, injures large blood vessels or the head and face really need to be sutured and bandaged, after doing debridement and disinfection, anti-rabies serum or rabies human immunoglobulin should be used for infiltration injection around the wound first, and then suture and bandage after several hours (not less than 2 hours); if the wound is deep and large, drainage strips should be placed to facilitate the elimination of contaminants and secretions. If the wound is serious and life-threatening and requires immediate suturing, suturing should be performed without obstructing drainage and ensuring adequate debridement and disinfection, while anti-rabies serum or rabies human immunoglobulin should be injected deep into the wound. After the wound is treated, the patient should be informed to go to the vaccination unit for rabies vaccination in a timely manner. 5. Immunization Before immunization, the medical institution must prepare the relevant drugs and equipment for the No. 1-to-national reaction resuscitation.
