First, it is not appropriate to use band-aid wounds.
1, the wound is suppurated
After being burned or scalded, the wound will fester and yellow water will flow, so you can't use a band-aid, otherwise it will cause poor drainage of secretions and secondary infection.
2, mild skin abrasions
If the child only scratches a little skin, don't wrap the wound with a band-aid or gauze. Exposed wounds will heal faster. As long as you apply iodine or alcohol to the wound, you can prevent infection.
3. Wounds with severe trauma
Don't use a band-aid until the wound is debrided. You should go to the hospital and let the doctor handle and treat the wound.
4. Infected wound
If the wound is infected and there is secretion or pus on the wound, you can't use a band-aid.
5. Deep and narrow wound
For example, a wound stabbed by a nail or a knife tip cannot be bandaged with a band-aid. The wound should be exposed after hemostasis to prevent tetanus toxoid from infecting the wound. You should go to the hospital to consult a doctor and inject tetanus serum if necessary.
Second, the use of band-aid precautions
Even if it is a wound suitable for sticking a band-aid, you should pay attention to the following questions when using a band-aid.
1. Clean the wound before use: Before using the band-aid, check the wound for dirt residue. If yes, clean the wound first, and then stick the band-aid when the wound is dry.
2. The band-aid is moderately elastic: too loose can't protect and stop bleeding; too tight will make the wound airtight, causing anaerobic infection; too tight will easily block the blood circulation of the injured part, resulting in ischemic necrosis.
3. Band-AIDS should be replaced in time: Band-AIDS should not be used for too long, and generally need to be replaced every day, no longer than two days. If it is soaked in water during use, it should be replaced in time. Pay attention to observe the wound surface when replacing. Once the wound is red, swollen and suppurative, be sure to stop using it and seek medical advice in time.
4. It is not recommended for children under two years old to use band-AIDS: Because infants and young children have delicate skin and muscles, it is not recommended for children under two years old to use band-AIDS.
