How to deal with a deep knife wound

It is very common to be accidentally scratched by a knife in life. If the knife scratches the skin and is not treated in time, it will easily cause wound infection, which will have a great impact on health. It is also very common for the incision to be deep, and deep incisions are not easy to heal. It is necessary to do a good job of disinfection to prevent the incision from being infected by external bacteria, and it is also necessary to bandage it with gauze in time.

1) Treatment of general knife wounds:

1. Wash your hands and clean the wound with boiling water;

2. Apply disinfectant, such as hydrogen peroxide. Disinfectants or anti-inflammatory drugs that are too harsh can damage wound tissue, so use them with caution;

3. Cover with sterilized gauze and bandage to secure.

2) Emergency treatment of severe knife wounds:

1. Compression hemostasis method: Press the wound directly with gauze, handkerchief or towel, and then bandage the wound forcefully. This may temporarily slow the bleeding.

2. The so-called hemostatic point acupressure method is the artery point near the bleeding wound close to the heart. Find the hemostatic point and press it hard to prevent the blood flowing out of the heart from flowing smoothly to the wound, thereby reducing the amount of bleeding.

3. Tourniquet method: When the bleeding is severe and does not stop, tie a cloth strip, triangular bandage or rope on the bleeding point and tie it tightly; loosen it slightly every fifteen minutes to avoid tissue necrosis. It is best to seek medical attention within forty minutes.

3) If it is a small wound, you can rinse it with clean water or saline solution (rinse around the wound in a circular motion) and then disinfect it with a bandage. Do not use cotton! Please use clean gauze. When the wound is tangled, you don't need to bandage it! If it is a big one, do not rinse it. Stop the bleeding first and then cover it with clean gauze. Do not forcefully remove the blood clots, as this will cause a second wound.
