What to do for quick wound healing. How to smear the wound to heal faster? Healing ointment for effective wound healing

Wounded called tissue damage, accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the integument of the skin or mucous membranes.

By the type of the wounding weapon, they distinguish between stab, cut, bruised, chopped, lacerated, bitten, gunshot wounds.

Puncture wounds are inflicted with a stabbing instrument (needle, bayonet, stabbing, etc.). Their characteristic feature is a great depth with minor damage to the skin or mucous membranes, while deeply lying organs and tissues - vessels, nerves, hollow and parenchymal organs - are often damaged. Such wounds are very insidious, since in the first hours they do not always give pronounced symptoms of organ damage; for example, with a puncture wound of the abdomen, injury to the liver, stomach is possible, but there is no discharge of bile or gastric contents due to the small size of the wound, everything is released into the abdominal cavity, and clinical picture occurs after a long period of time: severe symptoms appear internal bleeding or peritonitis. Puncture wounds are dangerous in that pathogenic microflora is introduced into the depths of the tissues with a wounding weapon, and the wound discharge, not finding a way out, serves as a good nutrient medium for it, creating favorable conditions for the development of purulent complications.

Cut wounds applied with a sharp object, usually a knife or glass. These wounds are most favorable in terms of healing, since the number of destroyed cells is small, the edges of the wound are even; it gapes, creating good conditions for the outflow of contents, for treating the wound.

Chopped wounds are inflicted with a heavy sharp object (saber, ax). They are characterized by deep tissue damage, wide gaping, bruising and concussion of the surrounding tissues, which reduces their resistance, complicates treatment, and contributes to the more frequent development of infection.

Contoured wounds occur under the influence of a wide wounding weapon of a large mass or an object of high speed. Their shape is irregular (winding, stellate), the edges are uneven. Usually observed in case of car injuries, compression by heavy objects, blows with heavy blunt objects. The presence of a large number of bruised dead tissue in the wound makes these wounds especially dangerous for infection. A variety of bruised wounds are lacerated and lacerated-bruised wounds.

Scalped wounds - there is a detachment of the skin with subcutaneous tissue. Such wounds are dangerous due to shock, blood loss.

Bitten wounds are inflicted by domestic animals (dogs, cats), rarely wild ones. Wounds of various forms, contaminated with animal saliva. Particularly dangerous are wounds after being bitten by animals with rabies.

Gunshot wounds differ from all others in the nature of the wounding weapon (bullet, splinter), the distance of the victim from the source of injury; in modern conditions when using bullets with a shifted center of gravity - extensive damage internal organswhen a single bullet hits multiple anatomical areas. Gunshot wounds have a variety of characteristics (through, blind, tangential, etc.).

Wounds are classified as aseptic, infected, and purulent. Aseptic wounds are clean wounds, all others are infected. If there is a delay from the primary surgical treatment wounds (late treatment, absence of a surgeon, transport for delivery to the hospital), infectious complications develop.

According to the circumstances of the wound, they are divided into surgical (operating) and accidental (traumatic).

In relation to the body cavities (cavities of the chest, abdomen, skull, joints), penetrating and non-penetrating wounds are distinguished. Penetrating wounds are more dangerous due to the possibility of injury or involvement in inflammatory process membranes of cavities and internal organs.

Depending on the anatomical substrate of the wound, wounds of soft tissues, bones, large vessels and nerves, tendons are distinguished.

Clinic... Distinguish between local and general symptoms. Local include pain, bleeding, dysfunction of the affected organ, limbs. Common symptoms: shock, infection, acute anemia, etc.

The diagnosis of injury is difficult only in the case of the victim's unconsciousness and with multiple injuries, when part of the wounds can be viewed with an inattentive examination. The paramedic must determine the location, size and depth of the wound, whether there is damage to vital structures (on the limbs - the main vessels and nerves, on the trunk - the organs of the chest and abdomen; on the neck - the main vessels, trachea, esophagus, on the head - brain damage) ...

In case of injuries in the back, the patient is examined in order to establish damage to the spinal cord, noses, in the perineal region - damage to the genitals, urethra, rectum.

It is important to determine the nature of bleeding from the wound: arterial, venous, mixed, since in case of arterial bleeding, a hemostatic tourniquet should be applied to the limb; in the case of venous, a pressure bandage, since the tourniquet in this case will only increase venous bleeding. Unfortunately, not only paramedics, but also many doctors act according to the "bleeding - tourniquet" scheme, without complicating themselves with differential diagnosis of arterial and venous bleeding.

Blood with arterial bleeding is scarlet, is thrown out in a rather strong, often pulsating stream. When large vessels are injured, a sound resembling a buzz is heard. Here, of course, a tourniquet above the wound is needed. With venous bleeding, the blood is dark, does not pulsate, although it can also be poured out in a stream, but of much lower intensity. A loosely applied tourniquet will increase venous bleeding; a very tight tourniquet will stop the flow of arterial blood, compress the nerve trunks, and the bleeding, stopped in this way, threatens the death of the limb. If the wound is deep, the nature of the bleeding can be judged as follows: carefully dry the wound with a swab, press it for a few seconds and remove. If the wound is instantly filled with scarlet blood - arterial bleeding, if it fills slowly and the blood is dark - venous.

The dangers of injury are:

Bleeding with the development of acute anemia;

Development of wound infection;

The possibility of violation of the integrity of vital organs.

Urgent Care. For superficial wounds, treatment with 3% hydrogen peroxide or furacilin solution (1: 5000) is performed; can

use a 0.5% solution of chloramine, a slightly boric solution of potassium permanganate. The edges of the wound are treated with 2-5% iodine solution, a sterile bandage is applied, the patient is sent to the emergency room.

For deep wounds with bleeding, if it is arterial, a rubber tourniquet is applied above the wound; the time of its application is indicated in the accompanying sheet. The tourniquet is applied either on clothes, or a napkin is placed under the wound, for no more than 1.5 hours. When it is applied correctly, the bleeding stops. If there is a delay in hospitalization, then after 1.5-2 hours, the tourniquet is weakened, having carried out preliminary finger pressure on the vessel along its length. The tourniquet is usually weakened for 3-5 minutes. In winter, the tourniquet should be kept for no more than 1 hour, loosened after 30-40 minutes. The wound is treated with antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide, furacilin, chloramine). The edges of the wound are treated with 5% iodine solution, then a sterile dressing is applied. Mandatory immobilization of the limb with a splint.

With venous bleeding - a pressure bandage on the treated wound, cold, exalted position limbs.

For torso wounds, a gauze napkin (at least 8 layers of gauze) is applied, which is fixed to the skin either with glue or with adhesive plaster strips. Depending on the general condition of the victim (collapse, shock), appropriate measures are taken.

Anesthesia - solution of analgin 50% 2.0 ml intramuscularly, or baralgin, ketorol, drug. Hospitalization on a stretcher in the trauma, surgical or vascular department, depending on the nature of the damage to the underlying organs and tissues.

With profuse blood loss, shock, coma, the patient should be hospitalized in the intensive care unit.

The wound can only be touched with clean hands... The wound is washed with boiled water with some kind of disinfection - manganese, boric acid etc. It is enough to wash small wounds and cover them with fine boric acid, tie them up. Or soak a cloth with pure alcohol, or aloe juice and tie.

If blood flows from the wound without stopping, then you need to wet a clean rag in boiling water and apply, the blood will stop flowing.

For serious injuries, especially of the head, a doctor should be called. It is only necessary to put clean rags soaked in warm boiled water on it all the time before the doctor arrives, without touching the wound with your hands.

Knee wounds are very dangerous. If the bone is not affected, then a warming compress of alcohol or manganese is sufficient. But if the calyx is affected, then you need to see a doctor.

If the wound comes from a pulled off upper skin, then it is very painful, but not dangerous. In this case, you cannot use alcohol or iodine, but you must lubricate with boric petroleum jelly or, even better, rivanol ointment, then tie it up.

Dried rags with blood or pus should not be torn off, but should always be soaked in warm water with disinfection. If the wound has rotted, an ulcer has turned out, then it must be rinsed well, and then a warming compress made of alcohol or some kind of disinfection should be applied. And if there is aloe in the house, then just tie a clean cloth moistened with aloe juice to the wound, this juice very well cleans rotten wounds and heals them.

When wild meat begins to grow from the bottom of the ulcer (a bright red mass), then you need to put a lotion of alum or oak bark on this meat (a teaspoon in a glass of water). Change the lotion four times a day until the meat disappears. And then heal the wound as usual.

If the wound has become weeping, then it is good to sprinkle it with a mixture of alum and charcoal. But when large and deep wounds decay, you need to see a doctor.

If the body suddenly begins to turn black around the wound, heat, pain, weakness appear throughout the body, while the blackened place remains cold to the touch and insensitive to touch, then these are signs of gangrene, that is, necrosis of this part of the body. It is necessary to immediately consult a doctor, since it is possible to save from death with gangrene only by amputation. In the meantime, put rags soaked in warm water on the wound, and give alcohol inside to maintain strength. When a limb is affected, keep it raised. If for some reason the doctor is not there (or will not come soon), then we must try to stop the gangrene ourselves, for which purpose burn the blackened place with a hot iron (nail), as is done with a snakebite.

When you have to wash dirty wounds from machine damage, you first need to wash the circumference of the wound with gasoline or turpentine (moistening cotton wool), and then the wound itself. Then apply a bandage. The stronger the discharge from the wound, the more often it is necessary to bandage it, each time washing it with a solution of carbolic acid or mercuric chloride (1: 1000), in general with some kind of disinfection, then sprinkle it with something, as indicated above, covering it with soft gauze, cotton wool, and bandage.

For abrasions on the legs, rubbing of shoes, blisters on the heel, it is good to do warm foot baths, then apply boric ointment, tie. Or order such a very good ointment: wheat starch and glycerin - 15 g each, pure tar - 4 g.

It is useful to have turpentine water in the house for washing wounds, which is prepared as follows: two tablespoons of purified turpentine per bottle of digested water. This bottle must be shaken for a whole week, then used for washing wounds, topping up each time with boiled water.

Folk way treatment of gangrene and abscesses

Do readers know that Russian healers traditional medicine saved tens and tens of thousands of hands and feet, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of fingers and toes from amputation (with gangrene)?

Doctors with gangrene almost always resort to a knife. In the case of gangrene and abscesses, the healers of Russian traditional medicine use the following remedy.

Take black, freshly baked, preferably ryebread and, having salted it, chew it thoroughly. The sore spot is covered with a thick layer of chewed bread with salt and bandaged. This remedy is sure and extremely powerful.

Several Russian doctors of official medicine tried to improve this "wild" method of folk healers by eliminating the chewing of bread. To the black bread and salt, the doctors tried to add some of the pharmacological wisdom, which, in their opinion, should have replaced the chewing of bread. All such attempts have come to nothing. When chewed, bread and salt are mixed with saliva, and the latter, apparently, plays an important role in the treatment of gangrene and abscesses.

Although the described folk remedy is strong and reliable, in most cases you should consult a doctor, because gangrene is a very serious thing ...

Unforgettable ... In the thirties, a Russian lady in San Francisco had a malignant abscess on her finger, which soon turned into gangrene. The finger began to turn black, and the Russian doctor who used the patient recommended surgery and ... amputation of the finger. The operation was scheduled two days later at ten o'clock in the morning. The unhappy lady, with tears in her eyes, began to call all her acquaintances on the phone ... Fortunately for her, one of them knew the aforementioned remedy for gangrene, and the lady immediately began treatment with this remedy. On the day of surgery, the doctor sterilized and boiled all surgical supplies. Removing the bandage from the patient's finger, the doctor was amazed at the wonderful metamorphosis: the patient's finger was white "instead of black." Having definitely stated that the operation was completely unnecessary, the doctor became interested in the method of treatment. The lady told me willingly.

In the author's secret archive there are several recipes that are as effective as the remedy described above, but these remedies cannot be placed in a medical book due to the fact that the preparation of a medicine requires enormous experience, knowledge and skill. The layman in most cases will not be able to properly prepare this remedy and ... as a result, the amputation of the entire hand instead of a finger or a leg instead of a toe, etc.

Some powerful healer's white and yellow traction plasters also often cure infected wounds, cancerous abscesses and gangrene, including the remedies of this remedy (see remedies for wounds and cuts). In the author's secret archive, there are also more powerful exhaust plasters, but, as mentioned above, they require great precision, both the selection of the quality of the components, and very skillful preparation.

1.4 teaspoons of crushed leaves or fruits raspberriesbrew with 2 cups boiling water, drain. Drink half a glass 4 times a day. Take the infusion of fruits only warm.

2. Lubricate boils resin.Recovery occurs within 2-3 days.

3. Tibetan "black plaster".50 g black household soapgrate, add the same amount rye flour,a tablespoon vegetable oiland a tablespoon sahara.Pour the resulting mass into 3/4 cup boiling water and boil for 2-3 minutes, adding 1 church wax candle(remove the wick). Change the bandage with this mass every day. It takes two weeks until complete recovery. Painful sensations are not excluded at first. This famous Tibetan "black plaster" is used not only for the treatment of boils, but also for breastfeeding, carcasses, abscesses, udder limbs, etc.

4. Sleeping on mattresses filled with fresh fern leaves helps to heal the most severe forms of salt deposits, gout, articular rheumatism, arthritis and spondelosis.

5. Pine resin helps in lubricating wounds. Healing occurs in three days. The gum is also useful for stomach ulcers, if taken internally in small portions.

6. Long-term healing wounds should be tied with earthworms. You can apply frog skin.

7. Very effective remedy from wounds and abscesses: ointment from pork (internal) lard and naphthalene (2: 1).

8. In case of inflammation of the abrasion, it should be sprinkled with wormwood ash.

9. In case of burns, apply finely grated carrots to the sore spot. Or put raw yolk in a hot skillet. The yolk burns out - oil remains, which, as experience shows, is the best remedy for burns. Or stir fresh egg yolk with a tablespoon of butter, apply the mixture to clean gauze and apply to the sore spot. The pain will go away immediately, and soon the wound will heal.

For eczema, lichen, abscesses, boils, calluses, the famous healer Lyudmila Kim recommends:

1. For eczema, 1 tablespoon of burdock root and the same amount of dandelion root, pour 3 glasses of water and leave overnight. In the morning, boil the infusion for 10 minutes. Take half a glass 3-4 times a day.

2. Decoction of dried young willow bark. The broth is used for compresses and dressings.

3. Traditional healers also use this method: they set fire to a willow branch over a plate, where resin flows from the burning branch. She is also smeared with places of eczema.

4. 6 tablespoons of viburnum pounded in a mortar, pour 3 cups of boiling water and leave for 4 hours. Take half a glass 4 times a day.

4a. With lichen and. dry eczema, cranberry juice compresses are used.

5. It is good to sprinkle wet eczema with flour from the shells of river shells, as well as flour from the so-called "devil's finger".

6. Take any newspaper, roll it up in a small bag, set it on fire from below and hold it over a cold plate. The smoke condenses on the plate to form a yellow tar. This resin should be used to lubricate sores, and psoriasis is also possible.

7. For the treatment of lichens, traditional medicine advises. Chop, chop raisinsor raisinsand rub it thoroughly with lichen. Positive effect possible after the first rubbing.

8. Lubricate sore spots with "milk" of any kind milkweed.The juice of this plant helps in the treatment, removal of various types of warts, ulcers affected by nail fungus.

9. Sore spot should be rubbed garlicand then rub birch charcoalmixed with fresh juice burdock root.The procedure should last up to half an hour.

10. For the treatment of certain types of fungal skin diseases, it is recommended to rub the sore spot lemon juice.

11. Grate garlicand mix with fresh butterin a 1: 1 ratio. Apply the mixture to the sore spot and change it daily until recovery.

12. Legs with nails affected by the fungus soar in a decoction or milkweed infusion. Sometimes strong coffee baths help.

It also treats foot fungus, relieves pain in feet and ankles, and helps get rid of thick, flaky skin on the heels. When the procedure is repeated for several evenings in a row, the fungus completely disappears, the skin becomes smooth and the pain disappears.

Fungus on the toes.Immerse well-washed feet in strong wine vinegar.Sleep in clean vinegar soaked socks. Or else: immerse your feet in cool water, in which dissolve in a tablespoon baking soda and salt.Then rinse your feet with clean water.

She also gives advice: mix crushed mint with saltand place between your toes for about an hour. Repeat the procedure until the fungus disappears.

Treatment of a festering wound

Such a wound can lead to blood poisoning, gangrene and death. Boil 250 g of alum in a liter of water, cool. Rinse the wound twice a day until it heals.

Make compresses from crushed wheat, boiled in wine or water. Apply compresses for a long time. Compresses made from gruel of boiled beans or potatoes also help. Festering wounds should be washed with wine. Rubbing with fish oil also helps.

Despite the fact that we do not want to receive various injuries and wounds at all, no one is immune from this. It is very important to know what remedies can be used to quickly heal wounds, including traditional medicine.

Means for quick wound healing

Quite a lot of people get various injuries and wounds. Everyone is subject to this, and no one is insured against accidents that cause abrasions, wounds, etc. most often children, adolescents, and, of course, people who are actively involved in sports get wounds. The reasons for this can be different, so everyone should know what means contribute to the rapid healing of wounds.

Wound healing is a rather complex and often long process that demonstrates the ability of the human body to regenerate and recover. Fortunately, there are many different ways that you can speed up the healing process while preventing complications. Of course, not a single wound will heal in a couple of days, since the process of its healing proceeds directly according to the laws of our body and, depending on what happens in it, wounds will also heal.

The healing time of wounds largely depends on the state of the human body, immunity, the presence of diseases and much more. For our part, we can only assist our body in going through all the stages of wound healing at a speed that is maximum possible. But for this you need to know what affects the rate of wound healing.

External factors affecting wound healing

If you treat the wound immediately and do it right, and then pick up correct treatment, then perhaps the recovery will go faster. It is necessary to treat the wound immediately after its appearance, but this must be done very carefully. It is necessary to immediately remove dirt and dead tissue from it, while you cannot touch the wound itself.

It is advisable to immediately consult a doctor after treatment, and if the wound is deep, then this is simply necessary. It will be better if first aid is provided by a specialist, since suturing may be necessary, and it is strictly forbidden to do this on your own.

If you see that the wound is not deep and not serious, and you think that you can cope with the treatment yourself, treat the skin around the wound with any antiseptic, apply a sterile bandage for the first time, and after a couple of hours, be sure to bandage it. Make sure that you have bandages, tweezers and scissors at home, which you constantly need to treat with alcohol, drugs that promote wound healing and antiseptic solutions.

Keep bandages and plasters in your medicine cabinet in case of injury

Important to know about wound healing

Wound healing directly depends on factors such as the state of the body as a whole and the presence of diseases. The wound will heal quickly if the body has enough resources for this, including high immunity. But each organism is different, therefore, immunity can be weakened by various reasons... if you have chronic diseasesthat slow down the healing process, do not expect a quick effect.

Even if you are completely healthy and have good immunity, if the wound and the skin around it are not properly treated, it will still heal more slowly.

Internal factors that slow down wound healing

There are a number of conditions in which wounds will heal slowly:

diabetes;

• obesity;

  dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis;

  hepatic and renal failure;

  depletion of the body (including caused by diets);

  hypovitaminosis;

  immunodeficiency;

  oncological diseases.

Also, internal factors include the state of the body after chemotherapy, and the body of a smoker. Therefore, when healing is slow, it is necessary to undergo an examination in order to identify the reasons for this. The disease must be treated or taken into account when treating wounds, otherwise they will heal for a long time.

Other factors affecting wound healing

The following factors also have an important effect on the rate of wound healing:

regularity of dressings (it is necessary to carry out one or two times a day, depending on what kind of wound, and what means is used to heal it);

regular treatment of the skin around the wound (to prevent infection);

sterility of dressing materials, cleanliness of the instruments used (prevention of infection);

a properly chosen remedy that accelerates healing (should include active substance, which stimulates healing and improves tissue nutrition in the wound area);

when choosing drug - correct accounting of the state of damage (use funds in the form of jelly while the wound is still wet, but when the wound begins to dry out, use funds in the form of an ointment).

Pharmacy products that accelerate wound healing

Eplan ointment

It is a versatile remedy that is used to treat dermatitis, burns, ulcers and wounds. The tool has microbicidal properties, thanks to which it actively fights infection.
