Yesterday a sudden snowfall hit Nanjing, many roads iced over. The reporter learned from the major hospitals, due to slippery roads, falls, sprains patients increased in vain, which to the middle-aged and elderly and students. Experts reminded, rain and snow days out walking must pay attention to safety, it is best to choose a non-slip pattern of flat shoes. Affiliated with Southeast University Hospital Emergency Surgeon Lin He introduced yesterday, the day the department received nearly 10 cases of fall patients, most of them walking or cycling accidentally slipped and fell, to the elderly and students mostly. City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine also received several cases of fall yesterday. A patient Ms. Lin see work will be late, can only pedal with fine heels in the snow on the ground rushed, did not pay attention to slip and fall, support the ground arm immediately can not move. City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Traumatology Hang Baiya, director of the Chinese medicine division, some fall injury patients in the fall after their own use of some safflower oil or similar ointment coated, which may exacerbate the pain. Because just after the injury, the body’s soft tissues will be swollen, there will be microvascular bleeding and soft tissue fluid oozing. At this time, random massage and topical medication may stimulate blood circulation, exacerbate the degree of swelling, causing greater pain. Hang Boa suggests that at this time, patients can choose to cold compress, wet towels in cold water, and apply them to the skin for a period of time. If there is severe pain in the bones after a fall, we should highly suspect whether there is a fracture. At this time, do not move the affected limb at will, you should find something to fix it as soon as possible.
