Incision care is an essential part of surgery, which is related to the healing of the surgical wound and the health of the patient. Prevention of infection is one of the most important tasks in incision care, because the occurrence of infection not only prolongs the patient's ** time, but can also lead to serious complications and even threaten the patient's life. Attention to detail is key to preventing infection in incision care.
First and foremost, keeping the surgical environment clean is a basic requirement in incision care. The decontamination and disinfection of the operating room is the basis for ensuring the sterility of the surgical wound. During the operation, medical staff should wear sterile gloves and masks to prevent respiratory droplets and sources of infection from entering the surgical wound. In addition, sterilization and sterile packaging of surgical instruments are also important links, which can effectively kill bacteria and viruses and reduce the risk of surgical wound infection.
Secondly, in incision care, it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment and bandaging of surgical wounds. The wound after surgery needs to be properly cleaned and disinfected to prevent the invasion of bacteria. When cleaning the wound, it can be rinsed with warm salt water, which is gentle and has a bactericidal effect. After the wound is treated, it should be covered to keep the wound moist and clean and prevent bacterial infection. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, some famous prescriptions can be used to assist in incision care, such as Huanglian decoction, gallnut decoction, etc., which have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, astringent and hemostasis, and can promote the healing of wounds.
In addition, proper rest and nutrition are also aspects that need to be paid attention to in incision care. After the surgery, the patient is weak and must have enough rest to regain his strength. At the same time, patients also need to consume adequate nutrients to speed up the healing process of the wound. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the diet should be based on foods that are easy to digest and rich in vitamins and proteins, such as millet porridge and aloe vera drink, which have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs and promoting wound healing.
Finally, postoperative incisions need to be observed and treated regularly. Health care providers should change the incision dressing regularly to ensure that it is clean and free of contamination. If the incision has symptoms such as redness, swelling, oozing, pain, etc., it should be treated promptly to prevent the occurrence and spread of infection. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, some drugs can be used to deal with incision infection, such as golden kudzu soup, small green dragon soup, etc., these prescriptions have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and have a certain effect on incision infection.
In summary, infection prevention in incision care is a critical task, which requires not only the strict operation of medical staff, but also the attention to detail and coordination of all links. By adhering to cleaning practices, paying attention to disinfection of sanitary ware, properly handling wounds, providing proper rest and nutrition, and observing and dealing with changes in incisions, we can effectively reduce the incidence of incision infections and ensure the health of patients and the success of surgery.
