There are a lot of small accidents, when washing dishes, you scratch your fingers, or when you go out to play, you don't pay attention to your hands. Carelessly rub injury place, appear bleed how should do? In daily life, we need to pay attention to some hemostasis methods, many people will have accidents, so there will be bleeding injury, timely hemostasis is very important. Today, let's talk about the common methods of hemostasis. Let's have a look.
What are the common hemostatic simple methods?
Pressure: when you see the wound bleeding, the most common first aid action is to press the bleeding area with your hand, which is compression hemostasis. There are two kinds of compression hemostasis: one is direct compression of the wound, which can effectively stop bleeding by pressing clean gauze or other cloth articles directly on the bleeding area. The other is finger pressure hemostasis. The blood supply was blocked by pressing the finger on the bone near the heart end of the bleeding artery to achieve the purpose of hemostasis. When looking for the compression point, use the index finger or ring finger, not the thumb, because there is a thick artery in the center of the thumb, which is easy to cause misjudgment. When the pressure point of the artery is found, press with the thumb or several fingers at the same time. Although finger pressure hemostasis is easy to operate, it is difficult to achieve hemostasis without systematic training.
Package: no matter what kind of bleeding, it will be solved by bandaging. The material used for bandaging is gauze, bandage, elastic bandage or clean cotton cloth or cushion made of cotton fabric. The principle of bandaging is to cover first and then wrap, and the strength is moderate. First cover and then wrap, that is, cover the wound with dressing (large enough and thick enough cotton fabric liner), and then bandage or triangular towel. This is because the common gauze is easy to stick to the wound, which increases the difficulty for the follow-up treatment. Moderate strength refers to effective hemostasis after bandaging, and the distal artery is still pulsating; if the bandage is too loose, hemostasis is is ineffective; if the bandage is too tight, it will cause ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of the distal tissue.
Tamponade: for axillary, shoulder, mouth and nose, uterine cavity or other blind tube injury and tissue defect filling hemostasis, is to use cotton fabric to tightly fill the bleeding cavity or tissue defect until the bleeding is stopped. After tamponade, the wound was covered with dressing, and then pressure bandaging was applied to achieve the purpose of hemostasis. The danger of this method is that it may cause local tissue damage by tamping the cotton fabric firmly with pressure, and at the same time, it will bring the dirty things from outside into the body to cause infection, especially the anaerobic infection, which often leads to tetanus or gas gangrene. Therefore, unless necessary, try not to use this method.
Bundle: tourniquet hemostasis is effective under certain conditions, such as war injury, large limb arterial bleeding, etc. Tourniquet is usually used in the operating room, which is effective in controlling limb bleeding. However, potential adverse effects include temporary or continuous nerve and muscle damage, and systemic complications caused by limb ischemia, including acidosis, hyperkalemia, arrhythmia, shock, limb damage, and even death. The complications are closely related to the pressure of tourniquet and its duration is too long. Therefore, non-medical personnel without strict training should not use this method as a last resort.
The above several common methods, as long as we use them according to their own situation, are very good improvement on hemostasis, and also a common improvement method. Want to stop bleeding effect is good, these methods, we should pay attention to do a good job in prevention. You need to pay attention to these four simple ways. And in daily life, also should pay attention to comprehensive health care, in order to avoid causing more trouble. Finally, we hope that there will be fewer accidents and stop bleeding in time to avoid aggravating the harm.
