How is ice used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, how to apply it correctly? Bruises (emergency)

Bruises are closed injuries of soft tissues or organs without disturbing the integrity of the skin. Most often arise from a blunt-hit. In the area of ​​injury there is pain, a bruise (bruise), swelling (edema).

Giving help:

1. Put a pressure bandage on the injury site. When limbs are bruised, a pressure bandage is applied to reduce the size of hemorrhage in the tissues at the site of the bruise, reduce the amount of edema, and ensure the rest of the damaged part of the body. All this helps to minimize the pain from the injury. Applying a pressure bandage is as follows: the beginning of the bandage is held with the left hand and applied to the bandaged part of the body. The head of the bandage is held in the right hand and unwound the bandage, pulling it. Bandage left - right, bottom - up. First, they impose two round trips one upon the other, fixing the tip of the bandage. Then bandage in an oblique (spiral) direction, 1/2 or 2/3 covering the previous round (bandage turn). Tie a bandage on a thinner part of the limb, at some distance from the injury site.

2. Give limbs a sublime position. The injured limb is placed on a small soft cushion (pillow) slightly higher than the level of the chest, just such a position is called elevated. This position helps to reduce pain, swelling, stop venous bleeding, reduce interstitial hemorrhages.

3. Put a cold on a bandage at the site of injury. Cooling the bruise area reduces pain, swelling and reduces hemorrhage. Ice can be applied to the injury site, placed in a plastic bag, an ice pack (a round hot-water bottle with a large neck, convenient for filling with ice cubes), a cloth moistened with cold water. The cold is kept in place of injury for 15-20 minutes, after a 5-minute break, again impose on 15-20 minutes. If necessary, this procedure is continued for two hours.

4. If the patient has severe pain, it is necessary to give an anesthetic. To reduce pain, the victim should be given 1-2 tablets of dipyrone (baralgin, spazgana) or other painkillers.

Precautionary measures:

1. In case of head and abdomen bruises accompanied by severe pains, it is strictly forbidden to give medicine. An urgent need to consult a doctor.

2. If the pain does not subside within 30-60 minutes or, conversely, increases, you should immediately consult a doctor, as a bruise may be accompanied by bone fractures or damage to blood vessels, nerves and internal organs.

3. In the case of head injuries without marked external signs, the victim should not be sent to a doctor without being accompanied.

Bruising is the penetration of blood into the tissue as a result of physical exposure. If you use ice with bruises, you can avoid the unpleasant effects of injury and greatly reduce pain.

Any injury causes inconvenience: due to the penetration of blood into the tissues there is swelling, blueing of the tissues, pain. Some bruises are treated for a long time.

If in case of injury in the near future to apply ice, then:

• significantly reduced bleeding in the tissue;
• tissue swelling will decrease or not appear at all;
• muscle cramps will be minimized;
• soreness will decrease or disappear.

Ice must be used in the following days after injury - it helps to accelerate the healing process.

Before treatment, inspect the injury site: if it is normal bruises or bumps on the head, use an ice compress. If the victim has nausea, confusion, loss of memory, this may be a sign of a concussion. Such persons should be provided with urgent medical care.

How to use ice

Ice cubes must be placed in a rubber heating pad or plastic bag. Capacity with cubes should be tight. To prevent the occurrence of frostbite tissues should not be applied directly to the cold skin - between the container with ice and the human body must necessarily be a gasket in the form of tissue. For this purpose, you can use a towel or diaper. If there is no ice in the freezer, frozen meat, berries and other products are used with the same success.

Before resorting to ice, the injured area should be gently smeared with skin cream, and if there is damage to the skin, you should use sterile vegetable oil, but you should not use oil or cream if you have a large wound or suture after the operation.

1. A heating pad wrapped in cloth is applied to the damaged area.
2. It should take at least 5 minutes, after which the cold is removed from the injury site and the tissue color is assessed. If the skin color remains the same, you need to keep the ice for 30 minutes, but no more. When the skin area is reddened, it is not allowed to apply cold for a long period of time.
3. If the heater is tied with a bandage, be sure to check whether the bandage is not tight. If the limb acquires a bluish tint, the bandage should be immediately loosened.
4. Keep the bruised place in an elevated position - thanks to this measure, there will be an outflow of tissue fluid and swelling will decrease.
5. With significant pain, take a painkiller.

Bruise or fracture?

Before prescribing any treatment, make sure that there is no more serious injury, such as a dislocation or a fracture. When such injuries require urgent medical attention, do not try to set the limb on their own. The maximum that can be done is to immobilize the limb.

What is different from dislocation or fracture from injury?

In the event of a fracture, there is always severe pain, which is exacerbated by an attempt to change the position of the damaged area. Extremity can be in unnatural form. With fractures, the functionality of the arm or leg is always impaired - if a leg fracture is present, the person cannot even step on it. With a serious open fracture, bone fragments may be visible from the wound.

When the joint is dislocated, deformation and swelling are noticeable at the injury site, its movements are limited, and severe pain is noted. Apply to the damaged place cold and seek medical help.

For any stretching, deformation or blood enters the underlying tissues, which is likely to cause swelling, pain and, as a result, prolonged treatment. To prevent this from happening, that is, so that the body’s response to the trauma is not so violent, the affected area must be immediately attach ice.

The cold used in time will help:

• reduce tissue bleeding;
• prevent or reduce swelling;
• reduce muscle spasm and reduce pain.

At a later date, during the rehabilitation period, the cold contributes to the restoration of the normal function of the affected part of the body. The use of ice is especially effective when performing physical therapy, since, by reducing pain and muscle spasms, cold contributes to improved movement. Most recommended attach ice  during or immediately after the workout.

How to use ice

Ice cubes are poured into a plastic bag, hermetically sealed, wrapped in a tea towel and tied to a sore spot. By the way, instead of ice, you can use, for example, a bag of frozen peas and so on. Do not forget about the security measures, namely: some for greater efficiency do not wrap packages with a towel, considering that attach ice  also possible. This is a misconception, if only because an icy object taken out of the freezer and pinned to unprotected skin can cause a cold burn, and this is another unpleasant problem.

  How to apply ice

Ideally, you need to rub a small amount of oil into the area where the ice will be attached. In the course you can put any cream and vegetable oil. If the skin on the injured area is damaged or there are postoperative sutures there - you will have to do without the cream.

• Attach an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the place where you need to tie it up.
• Wait five minutes and check the skin color. If the skin color is bright pink or red, remove the package. If the skin is almost no color change, you can chill the cold and begin to conduct gymnastics.
• Attach ice  and keep from 10 to 30 minutes, however, if left for a longer time, there will be no effect from it, but the skin may well be damaged. So, in half an hour it is better to remove the ice pack.
• The bandage should not be too tight, otherwise there will be no good, but harm.

How often can a cold compress be applied?

In general, ice on the injured place can be applied every 2-3 hours for 10-30 minutes. It used to be that there was a sense attach ice  to the injured site only in the first 48 hours, when it is necessary to stop the bleeding in the tissue and prevent swelling from spreading. However, modern traumatology claims that ice is also useful at a later date, in particular, for relaxing muscle tissue.

Hot water bottle

Heat should never be used immediately after injury, as a hot bath and the like will increase bleeding in the tissues and exacerbate the problem. 48 hours after injury, warm tights, warming cream or lamp are acceptable. Hot water bottleAt this time, it can also be used, but dry heat is better.

Since heat causes dilation of blood vessels, more blood is brought into the area of ​​injury, and this has a direct sedative effect, helping to reduce pain and cramping. But do not forget that the heat should be just warm, not hot, otherwise problems can not be avoided. That is, should not burn, namely - warm.

However, it should be noted that ice often gives a better and longer lasting effect, and the analgesic properties of cold, as compared with heat, are deeper.

Safety measures when using heat and ice

You can not use cold and heat:

• on damaged skin areas;
• in areas of the body with poor blood circulation;
• in the presence of diabetes;
• in the presence of infection.

Note.   If there is a suspicion that the injured person has a problem with, do not put ice packs on the left shoulder. Even with a severe neck injury, do not put ice on the front and side of the neck. It is acceptable to use ice packs only at the back of the head.
