What to do if you cut off a piece of your finger
On the video channel "MozgON".
How to treat a wound if a piece of a finger is cut off( skin with meat)?
First, it is best to contact a medical center, a hospital where you will be properly treated with a wound and make a bandage.
If you are in a forest, village, on an uninhabited island, there are still some circumstances, then you have to do everything yourself:
Injury is widespread - a lot of blood goes away, your head is spinning, pain, you are experiencing fucking - what will happen next, the situation is generally lousy.
A week ago I cut off a piece of my thumb with an electric gun. I want to share with you the experience of stopping blood and treating the wound.
For stopping blood and caring for the wound, you need:
- Hydrogen Peroxide;
- Streptocide( powder) or gentamicin, baniocin - ointment.
- Plaster;
- Bandage.
Sequence of actions( it is especially important for whom a piece of a finger is cut off irrevocably):
- Loudly mater, shout( we remove stress).
- Hydrogen peroxide we disinfect the wound - just pour on the wound - it hurts, the wound sizzles, the blood flows. We do not regret peroxide - we just pour.
- We fall asleep with a streptocid( just rash powder on the wound site).
- We make a small pillow from the bandage( we fold the bandage 4 times), or we use a cotton wool disc.
- Use a plaster to attach the cushion to the wound site, wrap it with a bandage. After - you need to calm down! I personally took a cool shower( hand kept away from water), and drank tea and coffee. Fast walking also helps.
After half an hour - the hour when the blood stops, you can again unwrap the wound, and there already at will - or pour the peroxide( I personally poured painfully unpleasant again), and then apply gentamicin ointment, or immediately apply ointment.
Gentamicin, baniocin is an ointment with antibiotics that kill germs. If you do not make a layer of ointment or leave a place, then when you make a wound dressing, you will be given a painful pain to tear off the bandage that has grown together with the tissue of the body!
I made a large layer of ointment - 2 mm of height above the wound, maybe even more - the ointment is superimposed uncomfortably, it is somewhat hard, so it must be gently( it hurts very much) to smear on the wound and seal with adhesive tape so that a layer of ointment remains between the wound and plasterIt is intuitively understandable.to the wound do not want anything to touch.
Next over the patch bandout to avoid contamination of the wound.
And so we live a week, changing bandages 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening. To wash your hand, put on a cellophane bag.
I immediately bought a lot of wide patches.
A week later( perhaps, probably earlier), I stopped pouring ointment, and after a couple of days, there was just a wound similar to the dried eggs of red caviar - but did not bother.
I think the full restoration will take 3 weeks.
