Many friends have encountered soft tissue injury. Soft tissue injury refers to the pathological damage of human skin, subcutaneous superficial and deep fascia, muscle, tendon, tendon sheath, ligament, joint capsule, synovial sac, intervertebral disc, peripheral nerve and blood vessel caused by various acute trauma or chronic strain as well as their own disease pathology. Once encountered, how should we treat it? Now follow me to learn.

How should soft tissue injury be treated?

Soft tissue contusion is usually caused by blunt or sharp violence, including abrasion, sprain, contusion, fall injury or impact injury, which causes local subcutaneous soft tissue laceration, bleeding or exudation.

For mild or moderate bleeding, pressure bandage or packing can be used to stop bleeding; Bleeding of extremities, Kwai tourniquet and preparation for haemostasis as soon as possible. Preoperative tourniquet should be loosened 1 times per 30min. When the blood loss is large, transfusion should be done in time. If bleeding is not enough, emergency operation should be performed to stop bleeding. For those with severe pain, pethidine or morphine can be given, as well as other sedatives and analgesics. In case of fracture, the injured limb should be fixed properly

In the early stage, ice bags or cold compressions were placed around the limbs, and hot compressions were used to promote the absorption of local congestion when the bleeding stopped (generally 24-48 hours later). If necessary, antibiotics were given to prevent infection. If the edema is serious, affecting the blood circulation of the limbs, or severe crush injury of the leg and forearm, with muscle dysfunction and weakened arterial pulsation, it is necessary to cut the skin, deep fascia and sarcolemma in many places at an early stage, and then use normal saline gauze to fill up the flow. If the poisoning symptoms are serious, it will be life-threatening to retain the affected limb, so amputation should be considered.
