What harm does improper first aid of fracture have

summary

We know that many accidents in our life cause great harm to the body, especially for patients with fracture. Although fracture is a common orthopedic disease, many people will cause bone fracture due to various accidents in their daily life. When someone breaks a bone, some people may use it because they have no experience or are eager to save others Some wrong first aid methods, such as kneading the injured part and massaging the injured part to relieve pain, may cause serious consequences.

What harm does improper first aid of fracture have

1. The first one is that improper treatment will make our spinal cord compressed, resulting in the risk of high paraplegia, resulting in the loss of limb function. When thoracolumbar spine fracture occurs, improper handling can damage the lumbar spinal cord nerve, resulting in lower limb paralysis. If spinal fracture is suspected, if local pain is severe, it should be fixed on the spot, and can not be moved or massaged at will.

2. In addition, if there is local rapid swelling during fracture, it may be that the broken end of the fracture punctures the blood vessels to cause internal bleeding, or there is no bleeding at the beginning, but random moving punctures the local blood vessels to cause bleeding, making the hemostatic parts bleed again. If we have a comminuted fracture of the clavicle, kneading may damage the subclavian artery.

3. There is also a serious fracture, especially like the thigh and pelvis or multiple rib fractures with visceral injury, due to blood loss and pain, the patient can have shock. If it is moved and bumped again, it will further aggravate the shock and even cause the death of the injured.

matters needing attention

Finally, we want to say that for open wounds, even fractures and dislocations, if the wound is blindly bandaged with unclean dressings, bacteria will be brought into the wound, leading to limb wound infection, and even osteomyelitis.
