5- How do you deal with cuts and abrasions? ( a few quick notes )
A- Stop bleeding, Direct pressure for 10 to 15 mins without let up. Do not look under the pressure dressing to see if bleeding has stopped. It takes the muscles in the arteries that long to react and develop a clot. Tourniquet if necessary. If a tourniquet is necessary – consider this a medical emergency.
B- Wash the wound with soap & potable water. Debride if necessary to get clean.
C- Bandage with sterile Dressing. Antibiotic cream at your discretion.
D- If bleeding starts again or soaks the dressing – Apply direct pressure over the dressing for 15-20 mins without let up. Find and apply pressure at pressure points found in the upper arms or legs. If large amounts of blood are lost – prepare to treat the patient for shock. If the patient goes into shock – consider this a medical emergency.
E- If “butterfly” stitches or “Steri Strips” are necessary. Clean & dry where they must adhere. Apply the first 2 legs of the stitches on opposite sides of the wound. Then pull each across to the other side. That should pull both sides toward the middle. Apply stitches in pairs till the wound is closed.
F- Observe the patient. Document and continue to document what happened. Document how the patient was treated. Document all subsequent observations. Document who you turned the patient over to (including parents). Note in your documentation what date and time things happened.
