Recently, we have encountered a lot of patients with amputated fingers who came to the emergency room for treatment, many of them missed the opportunity of reimplantation due to improper preservation of the amputated finger or lack of common sense when working at home or at the construction site, the following is to popularize how to do first aid for amputated limbs? After amputation, if preserved properly, the success rate of replantation can be improved. In addition, the most important thing is to save the life of the injured, do not waste time to save the limb. How to give first aid for amputation According to the nature of amputation injury, it can be divided into three categories: cutting, crushing and tearing. Cutting amputation is cut by a sharp knife, and its section is more neat. Rolling limb amputation is by the punch press or train and other tearing and crushing, the damage part of the tissue damage is more extensive and serious. Tearing amputation is torn off by rolling wheel belt or centrifuge. Amputation (finger, toe) injury, limb severance, symptoms are obvious, easy to diagnose. First aid methods: including bleeding, bandaging, preservation of severed limbs and rapid transportation and other four aspects. First aid on the spot: if the limb is rolled by the machine, should immediately stop, quickly remove the severed (rolled) limb, do not use the method of reversing the machine to take out the limb, in order to prevent limb re-injury. Second, the severed end of the hemostasis: available clean dressings or cloth pressure bandage wound hemostasis, if necessary, can be used tourniquet, but remember to relax the tourniquet once an hour, relaxation time for 10 – 15 minutes. Third, the severed finger (limb) refrigeration methods: severed finger wrapped in more than 8 layers of gauze, placed in a plastic bag without leakage holes or medical gloves tightened bag mouth up, and then placed in 10 ° C, ice containers to save. Dissected fingers at room temperature within 15 hours are reimplantation conditions, such as refrigeration treatment within 36 hours are still reimplantation conditions. Fourth, rapid transit: the patient’s injured hand and severed fingers should be wrapped, braking pain, can be splints, bandages, fixed, as soon as possible to the nearest hand surgery specialty advantage of hospitals for reimplantation surgery. Note that during transportation, lie down and elevate the injured limb. Trauma first aid to remember 1, stop bleeding do not mess tie “trauma bleeding” is the most common in our lives. “Many people know that the bandage near the wound can stop bleeding, but incorrect operation may also cause necrosis of the injured limb. The use of tourniquets to stop bleeding is indeed a common method used by professionals, but if the ligature is too long, there are accidents that cause necrosis of the injured limb. In the non-professionals, it is recommended to use pressure bandage method, only in the limb trauma accompanied by large blood vessels bleeding, with pressure bandage method is ineffective, only to use a tourniquet. 2, small wounds do not care about the finger wound is only 5 millimeters large, very clean, bleeding is not much, but the operation found that the tendon has been completely cut off. Life is very representative of many people due to “small wounds” “light”, often do not care. In fact, no matter how small the wound, as long as the injured fingers, toes can not move normally (can not bend or straighten), it means that there may be tendon injury. 3, joints do not endure pain after injury joints quite painful, but can still walk, can “insist”, in this case, you will not be at home to recuperate, rather than go to the hospital for medical treatment? Different parts of the human body after the injury of different characteristics: such as hip fracture is not easy to swell, only pain, many patients can even walk, making it difficult to detect the injury, but delayed treatment will only lead to big trouble.
