First Aid: What To Perform On Minor Cuts & Burns

FIRST AID is really important irrespective of how minor a wound or damage is. Being knowledgeable in first aid allows you to be much more confident in reacting to emergency situations.

You’ll find in this post a number of helpful first aid tips in managing simple Cuts & Burns. There are cuts which could bleed a lot even though they are only minor ones. However, even when the cut does not bleed to much, it does not mean that you will not treat it at all. Normally, if they are minor cuts, nicks, and grazes, you don’t need to see a doctor however make sure that proper care will be applied to prevent infection. When you get a cut, the thing that you have to keep in mind is to stop the bleeding. Implement direct but gentle pressure on the cut to stem the blood flow. Put a bandage or cloth over it for about 20 minutes if the bleeding does not stop. Furthermore, do not forget to clean the injury immediately with water and soap. Wipe it dry immediately after cleaning. To avoid the risk of being infected, apply antiseptic cream and cover it using a sterile gauze, plaster, or bandage. Normally, minor cuts don’t require stitching. However, if the cut is deep, say more than 1/4 inch, or if there is a flesh or fat protruding, it may require a stitch. If this is so, take the victim right away to the nearest hospital.

On the other hand, the most common causes of burning are boiling water, sunlight, heat, or fire. Depending on its severity and the type of treatment that it needs, a burn may be categorized as first, second, or third degree. You might want to see a doctor if the burn covers around two to three inches in size. This is also true if the burn is on your face, over a major joint, on the hands and feet, or on the genitals. Lastly, if it is a third degree burn, it requires immediate medical attention. It is vital that you cool the burn at least 20 minutes whenever someone has been burned. The purpose of this is to stop possible damage to the tissue under the skin. Perform this by running cold water over the burned part but do not make use of ice over the burn. If you have no source of running water, dip the burned part in cold water or put cool wet clothes on the victim’s skin. If you see blisters that have formed, do not attempt to break them. You may also want to use any burn antibiotic ointment to the wound and apply dressing or gauze however ensure that the gauze is not adhesive.
