Does alcohol often rub the skin good?

summary

Use alcohol to wipe and bathe the body of patients with high fever, and take away the heat on the body surface by the volatilization of alcohol to reduce the body temperature. This method is also called "physical cooling method". The main point of operation is to use alcohol bath to cool down. The best way of operation is rolling massage. That is to use a piece of gauze dipped in 75% alcohol and put it in the bath. First use your fingers to wipe it, and then use your palms to make centrifugal ring rolling. While rolling, massage, so that the skin and hand blood vessels contract first and then expand. While promoting blood circulation, the metabolic function of the body is also strengthened, The volatilization of alcohol takes away the heat from the body surface and lowers the body temperature.

Does alcohol often rub the skin good?

Children with high fever, chills or sweating should not be bathed with alcohol. When shivering, the skin capillaries are in a state of contraction, which leads to less heat dissipation. If cold alcohol is used to stimulate, the blood vessels will contract more and the blood flow of the skin will be reduced, thus hindering the heat emission in the body.

For children with high fever, no shivering and no sweat, alcohol bath can achieve certain effect. But we should pay attention to cold and pneumonia. Wipe bath parts can not be exposed all at once, wipe a part to expose a part. Wipe bath process, because the skin cools quickly, can cause peripheral vasoconstriction and blood stasis. It is necessary to massage patients' limbs and trunk to promote blood circulation and heat dissipation.

Generally, alcohol bath is not suitable for chest and abdomen to prevent congestion of internal organs, causing discomfort and other diseases. If the chest and abdomen spread too much, it can cause gastrointestinal spasm pain.

matters needing attention

The reason why 75% alcohol can be disinfected is that it has great penetration ability, can drill into the body of bacteria, coagulate the bacterial protein, and then kill bacteria. If the concentration of alcohol is too high, it will coagulate the protein on the surface of bacteria, resulting in a layer of hard film, which has a protective effect on bacteria and prevents further penetration of alcohol. Therefore, the disinfection effect of concentrated alcohol is not as good as that of dilute alcohol.
