What effect does antiphlogistic, analgesic and heat-dissipating compress have?
First, the role of anti-inflammatory and analgesic cold compress is

1, promoting the dissipation and limitation of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic and heat-dissipating hot compress can dilate local blood vessels, speed up blood flow and facilitate the discharge of tissue toxins; At the same time, it can promote blood circulation, increase blood flow, accelerate metabolism and enhance the phagocytosis of white blood cells. Therefore, the use of hot compress in the early stage of inflammation can promote the absorption and dissipation of inflammatory exudates; In the late stage of inflammation, heat can make white blood cells release proteolytic enzymes to dissolve necrotic tissues, thus contributing to the clearance and tissue repair of necrotic tissues, thus limiting inflammation.

2. Relieve the pain. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic and heat-dissipating hot compress can reduce the excitability of nociceptive nerves, improve blood circulation, alleviate inflammatory edema, accelerate the discharge of pain-causing substances and the absorption of exudates, thus reducing the pressure on local nerve endings. It can also relax muscles, tendons and ligaments, and relieve pain caused by muscle spasm and joint stiffness. Commonly used in patients with lumbar muscle strain, renal colic and gastrointestinal spasm.

3. Reduce deep tissue congestion.

It can dilate local blood vessels, increase body surface blood flow, and thus relatively reduce congestion of deep tissues.

Second, the influencing factors of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and heat-dissipating compress

1, by heating

The ways of hyperthermia are divided into dry heat method and wet heat method. Damp-heat method is superior to dry-heat method, because damp-heat method has stronger thermal conductivity and permeability than air. Therefore, when using wet-heat method, the water temperature should be lower than that of dry-heat method.

2. Heat dissipation components

Because of the different thickness of skin, the effect of hyperthermia in different parts is also different. Generally speaking, parts with thin skin and often without exposed skin are more sensitive to heat. In addition, the effect of hyperthermia is also affected by blood circulation, and the effect of hyperthermia is better in parts with good blood circulation.

3. Heat dissipation area

The effect of hyperthermia is directly proportional to the heating area. If the area of hyperthermia is large, the reaction will be very strong. If the area of hyperthermia is small, the reaction will be weak. However, it should be noted that the larger the area of hyperthermia, the worse the tolerance of the body, which is easy to cause systemic reactions.

4. Cooling time

The thermal effect is not proportional to the duration of high fever. Generally, the effect of hyperthermia takes a certain time to produce, and it increases with time, and the time of hyperthermia is 10 ~ 30 minutes. Too long time will have a secondary effect, which will not only offset the effect of hyperthermia, but also lead to adverse reactions and burns.

Three, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, cooling compress taboo

1. Before the diagnosis of acute abdomen is clear, hyperthermia can relieve pain, thus covering up the truth of the disease and delaying diagnosis and treatment.

2. When the facial triangle is infected and suppurated, because the facial triangle is rich in blood vessels, has no venous valve, and communicates with the intracranial cavernous sinus, hyperthermia can dilate the blood vessels and increase the blood flow, leading to bacteria and toxins entering the blood circulation and spreading inflammation, resulting in intracranial infection and septicemia.

3. When organs bleed, hyperthermia can dilate local blood vessels, increase organ blood flow and vascular permeability, and aggravate bleeding tendency.

4. Early soft tissue injury (48 hours) Soft tissue injury, such as contusion, sprain or abrasion. Don't use hyperthermia. Because hyperthermia can promote local blood circulation, thus aggravating subcutaneous bleeding, swelling and pain.

5, individual differences, according to people's physical condition, mental state, age and gender, tolerance is different, the response is also different. For example, elderly patients are slow to respond to hyperthermia stimulation because of decreased sensory function; Infants and young children have a strong reaction to high fever; Female patients are more sensitive to heat than men. Therefore, we should be more careful when using hot compress for such patients to prevent burns.

Fourth, use anti-inflammatory, analgesic and heat-dissipating compresses.

There are two applications of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and heat dissipation: dry heat method and damp heat method. Dry heat method includes thermos bottle, infrared ray, gooseneck lamp, etc. Damp-heat method includes wet hot compress, hot water sitting bath, warm water soaking method, etc. It is suggested to adopt damp-heat method.
