What does plaster fixation method have

summary

I believe many people will encounter such things as fracture in life. If people around us have fracture, we should also have some methods to relieve their pain. Most people with fractures will be fixed with plaster, which is a good method. Now let's talk about the plaster fixation methods.

What does plaster fixation method have

First, place the limbs in the functional position, fix them with instruments or support them by special personnel, and keep the position until the plaster is wrapped up and hardened. The palm should be used to support the plaster, and the fingers should not be used. When winding the plaster, roll along the surface of the limbs in a certain direction. Do not pull the bandage with force, and smooth it with hands at any time to make each layer adhere to each other.

Second: in the joint parts of the application of gypsum thickening reinforcement, move to prevent gypsum broken, after bed to use pillows or sandbags. In order to accelerate the solidification of gypsum, a little salt can be added in warm water. In humid weather, electric furnace, electric hair dryer and other methods can be used for drying. Plaster fixation should include the distal and proximal joints of the fracture site. The finger (toe) end of the limb should be exposed for observation.

Third, close observation should be made after operation, especially in the first six hours. In case of the following conditions, the plaster should be cut or removed in time: obvious swelling or severe pain of limbs; circulatory disorder or nerve compression of limbs. High fever of unknown cause, suspected cases of infection; plaster loose, soft failure, should be replaced in time.

matters needing attention

There are many ways of plaster fixation. The most important thing is that we should encourage the patients to move the unfixed joints. The muscles of the fixed parts should take active contraction and relaxation exercises to promote blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. Only in this way can the patients reduce their pain.
