Because accidents can happen anytime, and sometimes they can be as serious as “broken bones.” If you have to face that situation alone or find that someone in your house has a broken bone, providing first aid before going to see a doctor at the hospital correctly is an important thing that you should not overlook.
Classification of fractures can be divided into several forms based on the nature and cause of the fracture. Generally, they can be classified into 2 types as follows:
Closed Fracture : A fracture that occurs where pieces of bone remain in the tissue and do not break through the skin, resulting in no open wounds on the skin. This type of fracture is common and has a good chance of recovery if properly treated โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที. It is often caused by falls, accidents, or other types of impact.
Open or Compound Fracture : This is a fracture in which the bone has penetrated the skin, creating an open wound and the bone may be exposed to the outside. This may be caused by a severe impact or twisting of the bone. This type of fracture is at high risk of infection because the bone has been exposed to external pathogens.
First aid when a fracture is suspected
- Do not move the patient, do not adjust the bones, do not examine or move any bones that are suspected to be broken. Call for emergency personnel and wait until they arrive to help.
- When bleeding occurs, use a clean cloth to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
- Find a stick or a strong material to support the broken part first.
- Apply ice to the area to reduce swelling and bleeding.
- While waiting for the staff, help comfort the patient so that he or she does not panic.
- Patients should not eat or drink anything in preparation for treatment, as they may need anesthesia or emergency surgery.
