How to stop blood if severely cut finger on hand

Cut a finger on the arm: a shallow wound

In cases of shallow cuts, blood usually stops on its own within 10 minutes. Of course, if a person has normal blood coagulability, and he does not take medication that violates thrombus formation or clotting.

Suppress a little finger, let the blood come off as much as necessary. Then it would be good to rinse the wound under a stream of running water from the water pipe. It is necessary to wash off the dirt, the dust from the wound.

Take 3% hydrogen peroxide, soak a cotton swab and pour a peroxide on the wound. Peroxide begins to hiss, foam and wash out unnecessary dirt and foreign remnants from the wound. So you can simultaneously and disinfect and wash the cut site.

Before applying the bandage, wrap a finger with a paper strip soaked in hydrogen peroxide, this will help to avoid pain when changing the bandage with a new one. After a gauze or a bandage can stick to the wound, you'll be ripped off - it will hurt. A strip of paper will insure against uncomfortable sensations.

Remember that the superimposed bandage should gently squeeze the finger.

For small-sized lesions, the application of a bactericidal plaster will suffice. If we cut a finger, before bandaging it will be good to hold your hand above your head and shake it in the air for several minutes. So you can avoid heavy bleeding.

If the blood no longer oozes and the bandage remains dry, the dressing should be removed to treat the edges of the wound with a solution of green( diamond green).Then re-apply a bactericidal plaster or bandage.

Strongly cut a finger on the hand: a deep wound

If the bleeding is severe( intense) and prolonged, the blood does not stop, the edges of the wound do not converge, the function of the fingers is broken and the person experiences pain that is worse when moving with the fingers - the wound is deep enough. What is especially unpleasant - deep stabbing wounds, in which the entrance of the wound channel is narrow, the finger swells quickly, and the blood does not stop and accumulates inside the arm.

What should I do?

1. Inspect the wound carefully.
2. Let as much blood as it is necessary( so a deep wound cleans the dirt), but, of course, if the blood pulses, and even more lashes - it is necessary to stop the bleeding by applying a tourniquet to the wrist.
3. At home, you can remove the outer remnants of dirt, rust, sand, glass, earth. To do this, pour the wound with hydrogen peroxide.
4. Apply a bandage( not too tight) to the finger and brush of the injured person from a medical bandage, gauze. Let the dressing remain soaked with blood.
5. Let the victim hold the affected hand in the upper position at the face level, so the bleeding will noticeably decrease or cease altogether.
6. Take the victim to the emergency room, hospital or call an ambulance.

Question-answer

Question: "To which doctor to go with a strong cut of the finger?"

Answer: "Direct road to the surgeon, traumatologist".

When Do I Need a Doctor?

Independently, it is not always possible to stop blood. There are wounds deep enough, and bleeding is too strong due to damage to large vessels - arteries and veins. Seeking help from a surgeon to suture the wound is necessary in the following cases:

1. Blood flows under the head with a stream, pulsation is noticeable. This is a sign of damage to the artery( arterial bleeding) or veins( venous bleeding).It is necessary to apply a tourniquet above the wound, thus cutting off the blood supply of the entire finger. Harness or elastic band carefully, tightened, saw that the pulsation of blood stopped - everything, enough pressure.
2. The victim notices that the sensitivity of the fingers is lost, he can not move his finger, bend and unbend it in the phalanx. This is a sign of damage to tendons, nerve pathways. It requires surgical intervention.
3. The wound is large, the blood constantly permeates the bandage.
4. Surface of wound is contaminated, inside is foreign particles, the edges are red and inflamed. The finger can swell. Disturbs the throbbing pain in the finger. This is a sign of inflammation with suppuration.

Deep wounds in the area of ​​the joints, palms and feet, head, neck, face are dangerous.

There is always the danger of getting into the wound of tetanus pathogens! Especially dangerous in this regard are closed wounds, that is, deep punctures. There is a favorable environment - without air - for tetanus( anaerobic infection).Therefore, contaminated wounds can not be left, even with bleeding stopped. Go to the hospital, let you make an injection of tetanus antiserum if the last time you were vaccinated more than five years ago.

Home first-aid kit: first aid for cuts

Pre-take care of the quality of the first-aid kit. To timely provide first aid to abrasions, cuts, and especially with bleeding, you should always have at your fingertips:

1. vial with potassium permanganate( in the form of dry powder - potassium permanganate) - only a few crystals dissolve in a glass of water and you can wash and disinfect the wound;
2. hydrogen peroxide 3% or 6%;
3. solution of brilliant greenery( zelenok) - doctors do not recommend filling the wound with iodine, it only treats the edges of the wound, otherwise it "burns" young cells, slowing down the regeneration process;
4. tablets "Furatsilina";
5. several sterile bandages of different sizes;
6. cotton wool;
7. strips of paper;
8. bactericidal plaster.

In addition, put a tourniquet( belt, belt) in case of emergency stopping of blood.

The above items - No. 1, 2, 3, 4 - are the means to handle the wound - rinse it from dirt and disinfect. It is not necessary to use all means at once. Rinse wounds with one or the other.

Necessary information for cutting a finger at home

Nicholas Serfoord in his video will tell you a lot of interesting things.

Sliced ​​fingers are a scourge of modern cuisine. Some landladies do not even quite justifiably hurl their husbands for stupid knives in the house, whereas this is in fact their salvation from frequent cuts.

If you still cut your finger, in no case should you lower it under a tap of tap water *( popular opinion - note of the author of the site ).

First, if the water is cold, there is a risk of infection, because the water in our pipes is far from ideal, although cold water can still slow down the process of blood loss.

Secondly, in cases with hot water, the capillaries will expand, even more and the blood will not be stopped soon.

All blood circulation in this area of ​​the body is carried out by capillaries. It is the cut capillaries that bleed in this case.

To prevent blood from oozing from the cut finger, it is necessary to raise it upwards.

To treat the wound around the cut site, you must use either iodine or zelenok.

It's very important to treat the wound itself with hydrogen peroxide, while carefully checking that the zebra and iodine are not there - it kills living cells that are ready to generate their own kind. But the rapid generation of new cells will allow for faster healing.

In some cases, a finger is not simply cut, but a piece of flesh is cut off. Thus, it is very important to save the wound in its original position and not bring microbes there that will provoke the rot of flesh and internal tissues.

To prevent these processes, use a sheet of paper soaked in pre-peroxide, then fold into a tube, enveloping the wound and the entire finger in a circle. The width of the sheet should be exactly the same as the length of the phalanx with the wound.

Newsprint paper is by no means suitable, since it contains printing ink, which will only harm the wound.

Properly performed procedure will not only keep the wound walls in its original position, but also greatly simplify the dressing and bandaging processes. Wash furatsilinom frozen paper in the wound is much easier than getting out bandages from there.

After the blood is stopped and the wound is rendered harmless by the action of microbes, a bandage should be applied. The first few layers must be made tight enough, after which you can fix the bandage with a patch.

Thus, we will protect ourselves from microbes for at least 24 hours, since the bandage will need to be replaced the next day.
