What should electric burn pay attention to

summary

If you don't pay attention to it in your life, you will encounter electrical burns. Patients with different degrees of electrical burns will suffer from different degrees of pain. In this way, once there is electric burn, we must pay attention to protection, do not let the wound infection. Now let's talk about what we should pay attention to in electric burn.

What should electric burn pay attention to

First, the patient's condition should be carefully observed. Exposure therapy is generally used to keep the injured limbs clean and dry, and disinfect the skin 2-3 times a day. The first operation can be performed 3-5 days after injury. First, the necrotic tissue or eschar was excised and the deep tissue was explored.

Second: severe limb swelling after injury may even hinder local blood circulation. At this time, skin and fascia should be cut to reduce pressure. High amputation is often performed when the limb muscles are necrotic. However, muscle necrosis is mostly in the range of muscle bundle (not in the cross section of the limb), which is related to the supply of vascular embolization. Helps identify vascular obstruction and patency, which can preserve healthy muscles or lower the amputation level.

Third: the infected wound should be fully drained and wet compress. Extensive deep infection can easily lead to toxemia, sepsis, acute renal failure, etc. in addition to the application of large doses of antibiotics, multiple incisions and drainage must be made in time, and even amputation must be performed. There is a risk of bleeding in the exposed wound. Compression hemostasis and drug hemostasis can only have a temporary effect. Tourniquets and surgical bags should be prepared by the bedside.

matters needing attention

After electric burn, the most important thing is to remove the necrotic tissue and avoid infecting the healthy tissue. It also reduces the possibility of cell necrosis to a certain extent, so that patients have more healthy skin. In addition, patients should also inject antibiotics to prevent wound infection.
