When using a hot water bottle
More attention should be paid to preventing low-temperature burns!
In addition to using qualified hot water bottles, timely discovery and replacement of aging hot water bottles, Ma Rui, deputy director of the emergency department of Ningbo Beilun District People's Hospital, reminded the general public that when using hot water bottlesMore attention should be paid to preventing low-temperature burns. "To put it simplyLow-temperature scalding is when you think that this hot water bottle is not hot, but if you leave it in the same part for a long time, the heat will be hoarded, and you will be burned. Especially in the elderly, the sensations of the body are not as sensitive as those of young people, and they are more prone to low-temperature burns. ”
Recently, many people have suffered from low temperature burns. 
Recently, Mr. Zhao from Jiangsu fell asleep holding a hot water bottle and woke up to find a stinging pain and blisters in his left calf. Diagnosed,Although Mr. Zhao's burns were small, they were three degrees deep. It is reported thatThe third degree of depth** is scalded, the healing is extremely slow, and sometimes surgery is required. The doctor said that every winter is the peak of low-temperature scalds, and low-temperature scalds of hot water bottles account for 20%, and there should be a protective sleeve and ** isolation when used.
Alert: Even if it's not hot, it can hurt people!
These four groups of people are more likely to be "injured".
Chen Junfan, chief physician of the ** Department of the Third People's Hospital of Hangzhou, told reporters: In everyone's impression, burns and scalds are mostly formed after contact with high-temperature objects, such as boiling water, hot oil, hot soup, and the edge of a hot pot. Actually, it's notWhen you come into contact with objects higher than your body temperature for a long time, you are also likely to get burned. For example, a 45 percent of low-heat objects are in contact with ** for more than 30 minutes, and burns may occur. This kind of burn is called "low-temperature burn". As the temperature rises, so does the damage. Dr Tan said: Young children.
Elderly patients with diabetic neuropathy, hemiplegia, paraplegia, unconsciousness, etc., and drunk people are most likely to suffer from hypothermia due to peripheral dysesthesia, confusion and other reasons.
What's even more terrifying is that unlike "high-temperature burns", low-temperature burns are not as painful as high-temperature burns. But it is also because the temperature is not high that the wound is difficult to detectOnly redness, swelling, peeling or whitish on the **, the area is not large, and it does not look serious. However, the wound is deep, and in severe cases, it can even cause deep tissue necrosis, and if it is not treated properly, severe cases will ulcerate and cannot heal for a long time.
It is understoodFor example, heating equipment such as hot water bottles, plug-in electric heaters, "warm babies", heating lamps, etc., as well as overheated electronic devices, "power banks", etcDirect contact or irradiation can cause "low-temperature burns".
What to do after a low temperature burn?
Ma Rui, deputy director of the emergency department of Ningbo Beilun District People's Hospital, reminded that in the event of a scald, the public should immediately take emergency measures
To remain calm, gently rinse the scalded area with clean, cold running water
After rinsing thoroughly, the laundry can be carefully removed in cold waterIf the garment sticks to the flesh and cannot be forcibly peeled off, it can be cut with scissors
If the burned area is still very painful, soak the burned area in cold water for 30 minutes or more to relieve the pain
After the above simple treatment, it is important to take the doctor to the hospital in time to avoid permanent damage.
Burns and burns may cause scarring and aesthetic damage. If the recovery from severe burns is not satisfactory, subsequent infection, and the wound is decomposed and necrotic, skin grafting may be required. ”
Chen Junfan, chief physician of the ** Department of the Third People's Hospital of Hangzhou, suggested that the wound should be washed with running water immediately, cold compressed or cold compressed with a towel wrapped in ice cubes. In general, it is best to last more than 20 minutes until the wound is painless or the pain is significantly reduced. But**Never touch the ice directly or rinse with ice water to avoid local frostbite and further aggravate the injury. If you find that there are blisters or epidermis ulceration in the local area, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for regularization**. Never apply any colored potions or strange things such as soy sauce or toothpasteso as not to affect the judgment of the wound or even further infection. **丨Qianjiang Evening News, Ningju, Healthy Hangzhou, @我苏特稿, Popular Science China, etc
