Seemingly mild hot water bag, if used improperly, but may cause low temperature burns, bring unexpected pain. Today, we will talk about the first aid method after the hot water bag low temperature burns, the critical moment can reduce the damage and protect health.

First, understanding low temperature burns

Low-temperature burns, simply put, is a long-term contact with the temperature is not too high (generally 44℃ -50 ℃) heat source, resulting in gradual damage to the skin. Hot water bag cold burns in life is not uncommon. Many people are used to putting hot water bags under the bed before going to bed, and the skin may be damaged unconsciously by contact throughout the night. Because the initial pain of low-temperature scalding is not obvious, it is often easy to be ignored, and when it is found, the skin may have been red, swollen, blisters, or even more serious damage.

Second, the first aid steps against the clock

Quickly away from the heat source: Once low temperature burns are suspected, the first action is to immediately remove the hot water bag, so that the injured part is no longer in contact with the heat source, to prevent further deterioration of the burn. Even an extra second of exposure could worsen the damage.

Cool down with cold water rinse: Next, rinse the burned area with running cold water, this step is crucial. Cold water quickly removes heat from the surface of the skin, lowering tissue temperature, relieving pain and reducing swelling caused by burns. The washing time should be kept at 15-30 minutes, do not feel that the time is long, and enough washing can achieve the ideal cooling effect. If there is no running water around, you can also use a cold towel or a cold pack to apply a cold compress, but be careful not to directly contact the skin with ice to avoid secondary frostbite.

Gently protect the wound: When the burned area has been cooled, be careful to protect the wound. If the burn blisters, try not to break the small blisters, it is like a natural protective film, can reduce the risk of infection. If you encounter blisters, do not pick them at will. After strict disinfection, use a sterile syringe to gently extract the blister, and keep the blister skin to cover the wound.

Scientific disinfection and medication: Use a small irritant disinfectant such as iodophor to gently disinfect the wound, and the action in the disinfection process must be gentle and slow to avoid aggravating the damage to the wound. After disinfection, under the professional guidance of the doctor, apply such as silver sulfadiazine cream, meBO cream, Jingwanhong ointment and other burn creams. These ointments relieve pain and promote wound healing.

Reasonable choice of dressing: For small and clean wounds, exposure therapy can be chosen to allow the wound to heal naturally. However, if the wound area is large, or the environment is easy to cause the wound to be contaminated, it needs to be wrapped with sterile gauze. When bandaging, pay attention to moderate strength, not too tight, otherwise it will hinder blood circulation and affect wound recovery.

Seek professional medical help in time: Because of its special injury mechanism, the healing process of low-temperature burns is often more complex and slower than that of ordinary burns. Once it occurs, especially if the scalded area is large, the wound is serious, or the skin appears white, black, and the loss of pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Professional doctors can formulate precise treatment plans according to the specific degree of burns to minimize the impact of burns on the body.

I hope everyone can safely use the hot water bag, so that warm and safe accompanied. If someone around you accidentally suffers from low temperature burns, don't panic, follow these steps, you can reduce the pain in time, open the right way to treatment.
