Methods for treating open wounds. Wound granulation. Prevention of complications during the healing stage of damaged tissues

Skin damage is one of the most common domestic injuries.

The skin can also be injured under the influence unfavorable factors external environment:

  • The air is too dry
  • Cold
  • Contact with irritating chemicals
  • Effect of heat

Due to the action of damaging factors, the skin dries out and flakes formed on it painful cracks, which do not heal for a long time and periodically bleed. Such defects often appear in winter, when the body is weakened by a lack of vitamins and sunlight.

In order to quickly get rid of painful wounds, it is necessary to use healing agents.

Solcoseryl

The drug, based on calf components, is close in composition to the physical components of blood; for skin lesions, it is prescribed in the form of an ointment. Saturates cells with glucose and oxygen, accelerates the formation of granulations and rapid wound scarring. Suitable for treating not only scratches and cuts, but also.

The product accelerates collagen synthesis and prevents the formation of hypertrophied scars and keloids. The product must be used twice a day: do not apply to a cleaned and washed wound. a large number of Solcoseryl, then the wound is covered with a sterile napkin and fixed with a bandage or plaster. Can be applied to wounds on the face, as well as cracks on the lips that occur during the cold season.

It has a cooling effect and relieves some pain.

The medication has virtually no contraindications, may cause or discomfort. In this case, the drug is replaced with another drug.

The cost of one tube of ointment starts approximately from 240 rubles, varies depending on the region.

Levomekol

The ointment promotes wound healing and also contains an antibiotic that prevents the damage from suppuration. Can be used for:

  • Purulent wounds on the skin
  • Burns and frostbite
  • Cuts and abrasions

Apply the product to the skin in a thin layer until three times to knocks, including during acute inflammatory processes on the skin. When applying the product over a long period of time or on large surfaces of the body, you should remember the possibility of accumulation of the antibiotic in body tissues and its toxic effects, It is especially important to remember the risks during pregnancy.

The drug may cause local allergy : skin rashes, hyperemia and, itching, burning, in rare cases, bullous lesions or erythema develop.

If an allergy occurs, the drug must be discontinued.

Ointments based on Panthenol

Panthenol regulates intracellular metabolism, increases collagen synthesis and accelerates scar formation. It has a mild anti-inflammatory effect, relieving pain and swelling at the site of injury.

Eplan

Eplan not only has a healing effect, but also anesthetizes and kills microorganisms that have entered the wound. It is effective not only for injuries, but also for bites, the development of an allergic reaction, and inflammatory processes. It has a disinfecting effect, affects the blood clotting mechanism, accelerating this process.

Can be used to treat lips and facial skin.

Radevit

An ointment based on vitamin A softens the skin and starts the regeneration process. Used in treatment thermal burns, cracks, erosions and ulcers.

Eliminates the effects of vitamin deficiency. Indispensable in case of seborrheic dermatitis.

Zinc-based ointments

There are a large number of ointments with the addition of zinc. Such ointments can quickly help when ulcers or abrasions occur: they kill pathogenic microorganisms, dry the wound, and speed up the healing process. Thanks to the active component, a protective film is formed on the surface of the wound, which does not allow microorganisms to pass through and protects against environmental influences.

Zinc ointments prevent suppuration of wounds, thus preventing the formation of rough scars.

Argosulfan

Argosulfan is powerful tool for disinfection of wounds, contains colloidal silver. Used to treat wounds and a variety of skin lesions, including:

  • erysipelas
  • trophic ulcers with thrombophlebitis and diabetes
  • burns
  • contaminated wounds

Treatment with ointment can last up to two months. The drug is not prescribed to children of the first year of life.

Vishnevsky ointment

An ointment based on xeroform, tar and castor oil has the ability to remove infiltrate from the wound.

Draws out suppuration, promotes the breakthrough of purulent formations with their subsequent accelerated healing. Used in the presence of old or new wounds with traces of infection, pustular rashes, infectious inflammatory processes.

Natural creams and ointments

There are many products available for sale plant based, such as Ai-bolit or Rescuer - such preparations contain plant extracts:

  • Sea buckthorn oil
  • Vitamin complexes

Such ointments will help fight not only wounds, but also hematomas formed from bruises. Ointments containing vitamin E are recommended for use in winter to protect the skin from cold and dampness.

Methyluracil

Ointments with methyluracil have a stimulating effect on regeneration, stimulate the immune system and prevent the proliferation of bacteria.

The active component is integrated into the reproductive system of bacteria and prevents their reproduction. Apply to wounds, cracks and areas of suppuration. Suppress the inflammatory process.

Ointments with antibiotics

Ointments with the addition of antibiotics are used to suppress the activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Common pathogens skin infections are considered:

  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Staphylococci of the saprophytic group
  • Streptococci
  • coli

These microorganisms are dangerous when they enter a wound, both for people with normal immunity and for patients with a deficiency of immune cells. Preparations with the addition of antibiotics will help avoid purulent infections, remove microbes that have entered the wound and ensure rapid healing of the defect without the formation of a scar.

Hormonal ointments

Products containing corticosteroid hormones are widely used for allergic skin lesions, as well as for the occurrence of autoimmune lesions, such as psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Suppressing the activity of inflammatory mediators, hormonal drugs reduce the symptoms of inflammation: relieve pain, swelling, prevent peeling and excessive keratinization of the skin. They relieve swelling of an allergic nature, fight the manifestations of atopic dermatitis and urticaria.

Possible contraindications

You should be careful when choosing ointments for treating injuries: some components can provoke the development of an allergic reaction. It is necessary to test the product before use: apply a drop of ointment to the skin at the wrist or elbow.

  • If itching, burning, redness of the skin or swelling occurs, you must stop treatment and consult a doctor - he will help you choose a substitute that is more suitable for your skin type and individual characteristics body.
  • You should cleanse the skin before applying the product, remove pus and dirt.
  • It is not recommended to combine various drugs, since the therapeutic effect may be reduced.
  • Hormonal drugs can lead to thinning of the skin, stretch marks, atrophy skin. Drugs containing corticosteroids are not prescribed for purulent infections skin, boils, open wounds Oh.
  • It is possible to combine methyluracil with ointments containing antibiotics to enhance the therapeutic effect.
  • During pregnancy, any medications should be used with caution; consult your doctor about possible complications, this is especially true for ointments and creams containing antibiotics and hormones.
  • If during breastfeeding treatment was required, the drug should be applied to the skin, avoiding contact of the ointment with the breast area. You should not use ointments immediately before feeding your baby.

In order to quickly get rid of the disease, it is necessary to properly care for the wounds:

  • Carefully maintain skin hygiene around the damaged area
  • Use gentle soaps and gels
  • Wipe the skin only with soft towels or napkins, without rubbing
  • If it becomes necessary to apply a bandage, use only sterile bandages and do not use inappropriate fabrics, rough, synthetic or non-sterile materials.
  • It is necessary to use only personal hygiene items: towel, soap, washcloth

Care depends on the specifics of the disease.

The human body is very fragile, and it is susceptible to almost any mechanical influence. It is easy to cause a wound or any other injury. The same can be said about animals. For example, you can cut yourself very simply - with one awkward movement of the hand, but the wound will take a long time to heal. In several stages. The topic is very detailed, so it is worth talking about it and paying special attention to the types of wound healing.

Definition

It's worth starting with terminology. The wound is mechanical damage integrity of the skin, mucous membranes, internal organs and deep-lying tissues. In medical terms, the clinical picture of this type of injury is determined by local and general symptoms. The first of these include pain, bleeding and gaping. TO common features include infection, shock and acute anemia. Expressed in varying degrees- it all depends on general condition person and the reactivity of the body.

So, the sharper the tool that cut the tissue, the more the wound will bleed. However, it is worth knowing about one nuance. Bleeding is not always external. Often it is internal. That is, blood pours into the cavities and tissues. Because of this, widespread hematomas are formed.

The pain, in turn, can be intense to varying degrees. Its strength depends on how many receptors and nerve trunks have been damaged. And also on the speed of injury. And how pronounced the pain is depends on the affected area. The face, hands, perineum and genitals are the most sensitive places on the human body.

Basically, this general information enough to get to the heart of the topic. Now we can talk about the types and classification of damage.

Classification

If we talk about the nature of tissue damage, we can distinguish gunshot, stab, cut, chopped, bruised, crushed, torn, bitten, poisoned, mixed wounds, as well as abrasions and scratches. Each of them has its own characteristics. And it depends on them what kind of wound healing will be. Types of wound healing also differ depending on the type of injury.

Gunshot wounds and stab wounds, for example, hardly bleed. It is also difficult to determine their direction and depth by eye. Special shape stab wounds- these are those that arose as a result of a blow with a hairpin, a spear, the tip of an umbrella or a sharpened stick. Cut and chopped wounds are characterized by heavy bleeding and surface defects. Those bitten often produce pus afterwards. Although abrasions are painful, they heal the fastest.

In general, the classification is very detailed; it would take a long time to list all the types. But one more nuance is worth noting. The fact is that wounds are divided into late and fresh. The first are those with which a person consulted a doctor a day after receiving an injury. These are more difficult to cure, since infection and other microorganisms have already penetrated inside. A wound is considered fresh within the next 24 hours after application. Its consequences are easier to prevent.

Specifics of tissue restoration

Healing is a complex regenerative process that reflects a physiological as well as a biological response to injury. It is important to know that tissues have different healing abilities. The higher their differentiation (i.e., the slower new cells are formed), the longer they will regenerate. It is well known that the cells of the central nervous system are the hardest to recover. But in tendons, bones, smooth muscles and epithelium, this process occurs quite quickly.

Talking about the types of wound healing, it must be said that they heal faster if the nerves are large blood vessels remained undamaged. The process will last a long time when foreign bodies and virulent microorganisms (infection) enter them. Wounds still heal poorly in people suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases, diabetes mellitus and heart and kidney failure.

Primary healing

We need to talk about it first. After all, types of wound healing begin with the primary. Next comes the secondary. The last type is healing under a scab.

It tightens when its edges are smooth, touch as closely as possible and are viable. Healing will occur successfully if there are no hemorrhages or cavities inside, and there are no foreign bodies. Therefore, it is important to wash the wound. This also helps neutralize infections.

This type of healing is observed after aseptic operations and full surgical treatment mutilation. This stage passes quickly - in about 5-8 days.

Secondary healing

It can be observed when one of the conditions for the primary one is missing. For example, if the edges of the fabric are not viable. Or they don’t fit closely together. Cachexia and a lack of necessary substances in the body can contribute to secondary healing. A accompanied this type tissue restoration by suppuration and the appearance of granulations. What it is? Such newly formed glomeruli of blood vessels are called granulation. In fact, this is familiar to every person since childhood, because each of us fell and tore our knees. Everyone remembers that the wounds were then covered with a crust. This is granulation tissue.

In general, types of wound healing and their characteristics are a very interesting topic. Not everyone knows that the tissue repair process occurs in three stages. First, the inflammatory phase of healing takes place (about 7 days), then the granulation phase (7-28 days). Final stage- this is epithelization. That is, the wound is covered with new, living skin.

What do you need to know?

During the process of tissue repair there are different types wound healing. Apart from the inflammatory phase, they all last quite a long time. Although this depends on the depth of the damage. But the longest stage is the formation of the epithelium. May last for about a year.

The most important phase is the notorious granulation. It is this that promotes normal healing of the wound. Granulation tissue protects other, deeper ones, preventing the penetration of infection. If it is damaged, bleeding will begin. And the healing process will begin again. Therefore, it is very important not to touch the injury and protect it from direct contact with clothing and, in general, with any other objects/things.

Interestingly, the types of wound healing in animals are no different from us. But the process is more difficult for them. Animals try to heal their wounds themselves - they constantly lick, which can cause harm. This is why cats are put on a bandage or cone after sterilization - they cannot reach the wound and lick it to an even worse state.

Healing under the scab and treatment

This is the last type of tissue repair. Healing under the scab occurs if the damage is minor. When a person has an abrasion, for example, or abrasion. It’s just that for some time after the formation of the injury, a dense crust appears (the same scab), and a new epidermis quickly forms under it. The scab then falls off on its own.

Naturally, all wounds need to be treated. And how this should be done, the doctor explains. Self-medication will not help, especially in the case of open wounds. Because in this situation it is necessary to act step by step. The first phase of treatment is treatment with medical solutions that neutralize the infection. The second is preventing inflammation and swelling. For this purpose, tablets, sprays, ointments and gels may be prescribed. At the third stage, a person must, following medical recommendations, take care of granulation tissue, contributing to its transformation into a connective one.

Scars

The medical classification knows more than one type of scar. During wound healing primary intention in fact, any scar can form. It doesn't all depend on how the fabrics are tightened. The type of scar is determined by the prerequisites for the appearance of the wound itself. Let's say surgery. The man transferred it, and the cut made with a scalpel was stitched up. This is primary healing, since the tissues are in close contact and there are no infections. But it will still be called a surgical scar.

Another situation. A man was cutting tomatoes with a sharp knife and accidentally hit his finger with the blade. A domestic accident, one might say. But the type of healing is still the same, primary. However, it will be called an accident scar.

There are also keloid, normotrophic, atrophic and hypertrophic scars. However, they are not relevant to the topic. It is enough just to know about these types of scars.

Causes of impaired wound healing

Finally, it’s worth saying a few words about why tissues sometimes recover so slowly. The first reason is the person himself. But violations appear even without his participation. You should consult a doctor if there is a change in pus, or if the severity of the wound increases. This is not normal and an infection is possible. By the way, to prevent it from appearing, it is important to constantly wash the wound.

You also need to know that the skin of an adult heals more slowly than that of teenagers, for example. Also, in order for the wound to heal faster, it is necessary to maintain a normal level of moisture in the tissues. Dry skin does not heal well.

But if the wound is serious and any abnormalities are observed, you need to consult a doctor and not self-medicate.

Weeping wounds represent damage to soft tissue structures. The skin is the body's natural barrier and performs many functions.

The superficial skin is exposed to aggressive environmental influences.

Treatment

Exist various degrees defeats. Localization: skin, blood vessels, bones, sometimes internal organs.

For non-healing wet injury there is inflammation. During the healing process, scars form. Treatment consists of regular dressings, antibiotics and disinfectants. medicines.

Ointments for drying

Treating with drying agents means using ointments and gels.

Products that protect the skin from infection:

  1. Levomekol. Disinfecting, drying ointment has an antibacterial effect and prevents the formation of pus. Improves the functioning of the immune system, leads active struggle with pathogenic microorganisms. Usage: for weeping injuries, suppuration, the product is applied with a syringe directly to the lesion.
  2. Solcoseryl. Regenerating, drying ointment composition. Promotes the production of new cell fibers, stops the process of fluid formation. Application: apply ointment to the affected area, no more than 2 times a day. Apply to semi-closed dressings. The course of treatment is 2 weeks. There are no contraindications.
  3. Povidone-iodine. Gel medication with regenerating, anti-inflammatory, drying effects. The gel penetrates deep into the dermis, neutralizes the lesion, restores the skin structure, and prevents the formation of scars. Application: rubbed onto the wound surface, washed off after 25 minutes. Contraindications: renal pathology, allergic reactions for iodine is not recommended for children under six years of age.

The listed medications have antimicrobial and drying properties. Before use, consult a doctor.

Healing products

When the dermis is traumatized, a person experiences pain and discomfort.

To avoid negative consequences and complications, wound healing agents are used that prevent the development of pathogenic bacteria and accelerate the regeneration of the skin:

  1. Bepanten. Wound healing cream, effectively cares for damaged skin, which separates exudate. The components of the cream normalize tissue metabolism and enhance the healing process.
  2. Eplan. A regenerating, wound-healing medicine, has an analgesic and bactericidal effect. Apply directly to the affected area several times a day. Can be used as a compress.
  3. Argosulfan. Therapeutic cream based on salt (silver). The drug heals the dermis and has an antibacterial effect. Used for the treatment of weeping wounds, purulent lesions, trophic ulcers, burns.

The choice will depend on the location, area and severity of the lesion.

Antibacterial drugs

When treating a weeping wound, sterile dressings are used.

  • Furacilin solution;
  • Sodium hypochloride;
  • Miramistin;
  • Okomistin.

Antiseptics reduce the release of exudate.

If the wound continues to get wet and does not heal for a long time, antibacterial drugs are prescribed.

Treatment is carried out:

  • Streptocide ointment;
  • Mafenide;
  • Streptonitol;
  • Fudisin (gel).

The products are applied to the wound surface, and a sterile bandage or tampon is applied on top. Often, Xeroform or Baneocin powder is used to treat the skin layers.

Healing process

If the injury oozes, does not heal long time, there is a possibility of secondary infection. As a result, a wet surface is formed.

The immune system tries to fight inflammation on its own, and the production of excess blood plasma increases.

On the foot

Damage to the skin on the leg with the release of fluid occurs as a result of injuries, varicose or erysipelas, thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, and diabetes.

The main goal of treatment is to create a systematic outflow of fluid. When purulent fluid accumulates, inflammation spreads to nearby tissues.

In a hospital setting:

  • treatment with antibacterial solutions (Dioxidin);
  • at pain symptoms painkillers are used (spray Lidocaine, Xylocaine);
  • To cleanse necrotic masses, powdered medicine Trypsin is used (a napkin is moistened in the preparation and applied directly to the affected area).

For shallow, weeping injuries on the legs, therapy is carried out at home. Salicylic or Ichthyol ointment is used.

Streptocide (tablets or powder) is used as an antiseptic. Before applying ointment compositions, the skin is treated with hydrogen peroxide.

Reasons for long delays

Weeping wounds that do not heal for a long time indicate the presence of pathology in the body and the addition of an infection.

Why skin abrasions do not heal:

  1. Improper treatment of wound surfaces.
  2. Diabetes. When the disease occurs, the limbs swell, blood circulation is impaired, and the activity of the immune system decreases. Dermal cells lack nutrition.
  3. Age criteria. The immune system of older people is weakened. Therefore, the body is not able to fight on its own inflammatory processes, regeneration slows down.
  4. Lack of vitamins in the body. The wound does not heal with vitamin deficiency.

Cell regeneration slows down in people diagnosed with cancer, obesity, exhaustion, HIV.

Liquid oozing

The fluid that oozes from the wound is lymph. Its release is a normal, natural phenomenon. It removes salt impurities, proteins, toxins, and water from tissue structures. Then it returns them to the circulatory system.

If the ichor is not released abundantly, there is no cause for concern. It is recommended to carry out the prescribed course of treatment.

The abundant flow of lymph from the wound surface is affected by:

  • Poor quality treatment of the dermis;
  • polluted environment;
  • alcoholic drinks and nicotine;
  • the presence of vascular and dermatological pathologies;
  • excessive physical activity.

Process and dry

Any wound, regardless of location or origin, needs treatment.

  • provide Free access to a damaged area of ​​skin;
  • touching the wound surface is permitted with gloves or tweezers;
  • should be cleaned of contamination, rinse the damaged area with clean water;
  • apply an antiseptic (initially treat with hydrogen peroxide, then brilliant green or iodine);
  • cover the area with sterile gauze;
  • stop the bleeding (if any).

The independent use of medications (gels, ointments, powders) is prohibited. The doctor examines the injury. Then a course of treatment is prescribed.

Burn

Any weeping wound, including a burn, is accompanied by bacterial infection. Humidity appears when the immune system unable to cope with inflammation.

Treatment of weeping burns consists of systematic dressings, taking antiseptics and wound-healing drugs. .

They are the ones who are able to ensure the outflow of fluid, tissue regeneration, and prevent the development of inflammatory processes.

Step-by-step therapy for weeping injuries:

  1. Treatment antiseptic. These include Miramistin, Furacilin.
  2. An hygroscopic dressing is used, which is changed every 2-3 hours.
  3. When changing the dressing material, the damage is treated with an antiseptic. Then it is superimposed antibacterial drug Betadine. It can dry out the skin.
  4. If pain is present, painkillers (tablets, aerosols, injections) are used.
  5. For purulent injuries, ointment compositions Levomekol and Levosin are applied under the bandage.

After eliminating inflammation, it is recommended to use a burn patch. At the stage of recovery and scarring of the skin, Solcoseryl ointment is applied under the bandage, at least 4–6 times a day. Vitamins A, C, and E are taken in combination with the main therapy.

Folk recipes

Together with pharmaceuticals used to treat weeping injuries traditional medicine that are prepared at home:

  1. Potato juice. Fresh potatoes are grated using a grater. The juice is squeezed out. A sterile napkin is moistened in the liquid, applied to the wound, and bandaged. The compress is applied before bedtime. The medicine draws out bacterial exudate.
  2. Onion. Vegetable (1 large head) is grated. The gruel is laid out on a gauze cloth and applied to the damage (20 - 30 minutes), 4 -5 times a day. The drug reduces swelling and cleans the surface.
  3. St. John's wort oil. The leaf and inflorescence (100 grams) of St. John's wort are finely chopped, and the golden mustache (50 grams) is added. The mixture is poured olive oil(250 ml). The container with the medicine is covered with paper and infused for 15–20 days in a warm place. The product is filtered and stored in the refrigerator. The napkin is wetted in medicine and applied to the wound 2 - 3 times a day.

Folk remedies are used after consultation with your doctor.

Open purulent wound

Therapy is carried out:

  • antibacterial drugs;
  • detoxification measures (toxins are removed from the body);
  • medications that stimulate the immune system.

The goal of treatment when a purulent focus forms is to clean the open wound, reduce inflammation, and eliminate pathogenic bacteria.


To accelerate the process of skin regeneration, the following is prescribed:

  • Vishnevsky ointment;
  • Synthomycin liniment;
  • Tetracycline ointment composition.

Medicines are applied to a bandage. Use once a day, preferably before bedtime. To eliminate pus from large wounds, drainage is installed.

What is prohibited

For effective treatment wet abrasions, it is recommended to observe certain rules processing. If the wound does not heal for a long time, you need to consult a surgeon.

What is prohibited to do in case of weeping injuries:

  1. Interrupt treatment. Dressing is carried out every day, in some cases 2 - 3 times a day.
  2. Treat injuries with contaminated materials. Bandages gauze bandages, the mesh for fastening must be sterile.
  3. Do not perform dressing with clean hands. If there are no sterile gloves, the palms of the hands are washed with soap and treated with an antiseptic.
  4. Remove dried bandages. They are soaked with water.
  5. Use expired medications, violate the instructions.

If during therapy the amount of fluid discharge increases, the wound grows, throbbing pain, swelling or redness appears, all parts of the body ache, it is recommended that the injury be examined by an experienced surgeon.

Complications

With improper therapy, weeping ulcers and wounds spread, affecting large areas of the skin and nearby tissues.

Treatment and healing of weeping wounds

5 (100%) 6 votes

In order for the wound to heal quickly and painlessly, it must be treated correctly and immediately, and then treated with various medical means.

Treatment and treatment should be done as quickly as possible and very carefully, first the dirt and dead tissue is properly removed from the wound, so as not to touch the wound.

What is a wound?

A wound, that is, vulnus, is a mechanical injury of various kinds to a human organ or its tissues, accompanied by destruction of the integrity of the skin or mucous membrane. It is precisely this destruction that differs from a rupture, bruise, and also sprain; a wound differs from a wound and is the result of tissue destruction. A wound has three main signs: bleeding, as well as gaping and pain, which depend on the nature of the wound itself, the volume of tissue destroyed and the blood supply to the wounded area.

The wound area has walls, a wound bottom and wound volumes; they can be of two main types, that is, accidental or surgical.

Types of wounds

  • Bitten, that is, vulnus laceratum. May be due to an animal or human bite, the features are the same as for laceration, main point here these are scattered, deep and extensive damage, as well as a large infection with the microflora of the animal’s mouth.
  • A wound that is crushed or crushed, that is, vulnus conqvassatum. It can be formed due to the action of blunt objects, where the overall surface is quite wide, as well as in the presence of solid support, that is, other objects or bones. Tissues may have extensive wounds and be crushed, the gap is wide, bones may be destroyed, the edges of the wound are quite complex, painful general syndrome bright, and blood loss is minimal.
  • Chopped, that is, vulnus caesum. It can be formed due to the action of sharp certain objects, such as a checker, saber or axe, in which the wound occurs only perpendicularly or at an angle to the tissues. It is characterized by deep, various general injuries, there is a wide gaping, as well as concussion and bruises of tissues, and occupies a middle position between a bruised and an incised wound.

  • The wound is incised, that is, vulnus incisum. May occur when exposed to sharp objects such as a razor, knife, shards of metal and glass. Such a general large wound is characterized by maximum tissue destruction towards the wound channel and other tissues; the edges of these tissues can be smooth, even and complex. Bleeding from an incised wound is usually significant, pain syndrome moderate, muscles, blood vessels and tendons may also be damaged.
  • Punctured, that is, vulnus punctum. May occur due to deep general penetration of long and sharp instruments such as a bayonet and sharpener, awl or knitting needle. main feature This is a minimal entrance hole, as well as minor tissue damage, the wound quickly sticks together and creates conditions for the development of various infections.
  • Bruised, that is, vulnus contusum. May occur due to the action of a hard and blunt object; the surface of the bruise is usually quite wide and is often destroyed muscle and human bones, which may be bruised and crushed.
  • Ragged, that is, vulnus laceratum. It can occur when an object is applied at a certain angle to a person’s skin, such an object can be a saw or a transmission, the amount of damage here is significant, skin detachment often occurs, the gap is quite wide, and the hemorrhage is significant.
  • Wound vulnus venenatum. It can be formed by the bite of various poisonous snakes, the main difference from others is the ingress of toxic substances into the wound, and it can also form due to radioactive and even household pollution.

Immediate actions in case of injury

General medical and very first aid to a person who receives a wound is a complex various events , the purpose of which is to eliminate the effect of the factor and remove the threat to human life.

Also, such medical care serves to alleviate suffering and prepare a person for departure to medical institution for further treatment.

Such actions are among the simplest, and they must be carried out in the shortest possible time right at the scene of the incident; for this purpose, the working personnel must undergo special training and master the most simple techniques what has great importance in this case.

The most optimal is considered to be medical care provided to a person in case of injury within 30 minutes after the injury itself; working personnel should be trained in methods of providing medical care for injuries typical for the work of a given organization or company.

The wound is usually accompanied by destruction of the integrity of the skin or mucous membrane of a person, wounds may vary in depth, size and shape.

  1. It is necessary to free the victim himself from the dangerous destructive factor, this can be mechanical action, electric current, water or chemical substances that cause harm to humans. To do this, a number of means of providing first aid can be used. general assistance, and you also need to know techniques that are safe for yourself and others, which everyone should know.
  1. The condition should be assessed and the person removed from clothing if it restricts his breathing., if necessary, it is better to take it out to where the air will be fresh. Determining the extent and nature of the damage itself; for this purpose, the damaged area or part of the body is carefully exposed, and then it is immediately necessary to take medical care measures for the person.
  1. Stop bleeding. You need to know that if blood loss is up to 2 liters, then this leads to death; here the rate of blood loss depends on the size of the vessel, the location of the damage and the depth of the wound. How larger size such a vessel, the less time there will be during which blood loss occurs; such bleeding can be venous when the skin is wounded and arterial when wounded arterial vessel. If the injury was arterial or even parenchymal, that is, due to organ damage, then you definitely won’t be able to stop it on your own; you need to urgently contact a doctor for this purpose.

  1. Disinfection. It is necessary to immediately and quickly rinse the wound with water or a special solution; if the wound is dirty, then it must be carefully cleaned with hands or tweezers, which must be clean and treated with alcohol. Next, the wound should be washed, this can be done using a weak pink solution of potassium permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide is also suitable, which should be in every enterprise and company. If the wound was caused by acid that got on the skin, then wash it with soda ordinary solution, and if the wound was caused by alkali, then it needs to be treated with a vinegar solution.
  1. Treatment of the skin around the wound itself is required, for this purpose, around the wound at a distance of 2 cm from the edges, smear it with iodine solution or brilliant green. And if iodine is missing, then you can use a solution of ordinary potassium permanganate, and an alcohol-containing liquid will also work. Such treatment must be carried out very carefully so that alcohol does not get into the wound; this is a very important condition.
  1. Special pressure bandage for wounds. In order to immediately and very quickly stop bleeding in a person, as well as reduce swelling and create balance in the body, it is necessary to make special pressure bandages in the area of ​​the wound; this can be done using non-synthetic material, although it is best to take the most ordinary bandage, which will sterile and reasonably clean.

Thanks to timely and rational treatment, as well as regular wound management, you can quickly heal mild and even moderate wounds at home.

Only here you need to know all the rules of care and be able to distinguish dry wounds from wet ones, which depends on right choice the most effective means healing Traditionally this home treatment consists of regular regular dressings using special means required for quick treatment wound.

If your wound healing is slow and takes too long, you will need to consult a surgeon who will explain the reasons for this phenomenon. You should also periodically visit a specialist so that he can change the treatment regimen in a timely manner.

What is required for home treatment:

  1. Clean oilcloth
  2. Hand sanitizers
  3. Hand soap
  4. Clean good towel
  5. Alcohol-containing solution for treatment around the wound, iodine, brilliant green, etc.
  6. Antiseptic aqueous solution, miramistin, hydrogen peroxide, furatsilin
