Your Health
Infection Needs
to be Avoided in
Dressing Wound

BY HERMAN ~ Gt NDESFN VI d
IN TREATING a cut or q
wound, the purpose is TO bring
about healing without infection or
al least, to reduce infection TO the
minimum. Il is for this reason that
immediate treatment Of the right
sort is important when a cut or a
wound occurs.
or course. If wound is severe.
d condition known as shock may
develop.
In shock. there are prostration,
lowering Of the blood pressure,
slowing Of the pulse, and collapse.
Hence, operative treatment for
any wound should not be under
taken while the patient is in the
condition Of shock. Rather the
immediate effort must be to treat
shock by keeping the patient
warm, and by using blood trans
fusions or blood plasma.
Next 70 shock, the most urgent
thing requiring treatment in
wounds is bleeding II is fortunate
that most wounds rarely bleed to
any great extent. Ragged wounds
bleed less thsn those made by
sharp instruments. The treatment
for the bleeding or hemorrhage
will. Of course, depend on the size
Of the wound and its depth. Some
times it is necessary 10 sew up the
wound, while in other cases, pres
sure is applied to cause the bleed
ing to stop.
In minor cuts and wounds, the
first important thing is to get the
wound as clean and as free from
germs as is possible. There is some
difference Of opinion as to how
this may be done. Some physicians
favor cleansing the wound by
washing it under running water,
or by encouraging bleeding for
time. Others favor no washing, but
suggest the immediate application
Of suitable antiseptic, such as
weak iodine solution. Some may
employ hydrogen peroxide be-
cause, by frothing, it acts as
cleanser. Ether is used, but it is
painful.
If there is q great deal Of danger
from infection due 70 contamina-
ton, it may be advisable to apply
one Of the sulfa drugs in powdered
form. 1t is not, as a rule, advisable
to sew a wound up tightly when
sewing is required, since this may
seal in germs, and produce severe
infection. If a great deal Of tissue
has been damaged by an injury,
the dead tissue may have to be cut
away before the wound is sutured.
1t is important TO remember
that, in deeper wounds, tendons-
which attach muscles to bones
may be cut, or a nerve may be cut.
Hence, it is necessary that an ex-
animation be made as soon as pos
sible to determine whether or not
this type Of damage has occurred.
Immediate sewing Of the tendon
or nerve is advisable in practically
all instances, and it is fortunate
that the sewing together Of the
nerve ends allows the nerve to re-
generate, thus avoiding a perma-
lent paralysis.
