In daily life, bumps and bumps are always inevitable, so do you know how to deal with different wounds?

Trauma refers to the damage or dysfunction of tissue structure caused by mechanical injury factors acting on the body. According to the integrity of the skin and body surface mucosa after injury, it can be divided into closed wounds and open wounds.

Closed wound

The skin remains intact, and sometimes there are scars, but without skin rupture and external bleeding, there may be skin bruising (subcutaneous hemorrhage, also known as ecchymosis or subcutaneous blood stasis).

Open wound

Accompanied by skin and mucous membrane rupture and external bleeding. Bacteria can easily enter the wound and cause infection. Therefore, open wounds must be debridement in time. Common open wounds include abrasions, lacerations, cuts, stab wounds, and bullet wounds. Open wounds usually have different degrees of contamination due to the rupture and bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes at the injured site, and are prone to wound infection.

Treatments are different for different types of wounds.

Under normal circumstances, after the injury, the wound is relatively light and can be treated by yourself. The treatment method is to disinfect the wound with disinfectant first, and then stick a Band-Aid to observe whether the bleeding stops. If the wound cannot stop bleeding, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible after bandaging.

For particularly serious wounds, the exposure of anatomical tissue can be seen, so it is not possible to treat them by yourself. You should use Hemostatic Gauze  as soon as possible to stop the bleeding, and go to the hospital in time.

If the wound continues to bleed, you can first use rope, cloth, towel, etc. to bandage the injured parts such as limbs or fingers to stop the bleeding. Pay attention to the bleeding time to avoid limb ischemia.
