Home Emergency

homc tTBeHCy
But these are the problems OF
the surgeon after he has arrived
on the scene. For the home emer-
gency, the housewife need not de-
part from the old idea that the
burn should be covered with some
oil or grease. Preferably it should
be surgically aseptic, but if the
burned one is screaming with pain
anything will do.
The National Research Council
recommended-"All burned sur
faces, except the hands, face and
genitalia. should be literally
coated with a water-soluble jelly
containing 10 per cent fannie acid
and 5 per cent sulfadiazene.
Burns of the face, hands and
genitalia should be covered with
water-soluble emulsion contain
ing 5 per cent sulfadiazene."
Those should be provided in your
home emergency medicine closet,
but if they are not vaseline will
have to do. If the vaseline has
been dispensed in a collapsible
tube it will be sterile.
Depth and Extent of Burn
Surgeons have classified burns
as of three degrees, but all the
home emergencies needs to know
is the depth and extent of the
burn-the amount of skin de-
stroyed. For the small area burn,
the above emergency treatment is
satisfactory. For extensive, deep
burns put the victim in a bath
tub filled with lukewarm water.
The water will protect the burn
from the air, just rs well as
vaseline. Cut the clothes off the
burned area: do not try to pull off
clothing that is stuck to the sur
face: cut around it. Do not try
to indicate the water. Wait till
the doctor comes.
Injuries due to falls, slipping,
etc. The important thing is TO de-
termine whether there is fracture
or dislocation. The usual attitudes
of the home first-aider is to say
"Oh! it's just a sprain." That is
wrong. Assume the worst, and
eliminate fracture or dislocation
first. The fracture victim usually
feels the bone break. There is loss
of funct'on-the hand or foot or
arm or leg bangles or will not bear
weight. Swelling with fracture
comes on rapidly. If convinced
you are dealing with a fracture do
not pick the victim up or attempt
to move him. Put a pillow under
the injured member and call the
doctor.
