The key to the treatment of bone trauma caused by the earthquake is fast

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-07-31

  In recent years, the occurrence of earthquakes has been continuous. The main reason people are concerned is that there have been major casualties. Most of the bone trauma caused by the earthquake is serious, such as: open fractures, spine injuries, crush syndrome, fracture fragments stabbing blood vessels and causing massive bleeding. With the professionalism of an orthopedist, the treatment of bone trauma caused by an earthquake must be quick.

   First, get out of the dangerous environment quickly. After the earthquake caused bone trauma, many of the wounded may still be buried under the rubble. Since the existing injuries will limit their activities, aftershocks may continue to cause secondary injuries, so it is the first priority to get the wounded out of danger as soon as possible.

  Second, quickly judge the injury. Bone injuries caused by earthquakes often involve injuries to important parts such as internal organs, brain, chest, etc., so don’t be too specialized in saving lives. The shortest time to judge the most important problem of the injured is the embodiment of the quality of an emergency doctor. In addition, the scene must pay attention to those relatively "silent" wounded, the heaviest patients are often among them.

   Third, fast braking and hemostasis. Bone trauma will cause local deformity. Due to pain or handling, the broken fracture piece will continue to move, which will cause the fractured end to stimulate blood vessels and nerves. Therefore, after rescuing the person, the injured part must be braked. Active bleeding must be dealt with on site .

Fourth, fast debridement and fixation. Open bone injury will lead to wound infection in the future and affect fracture healing. It is emphasized that the wounds are cleaned as soon as possible under conditions. Early surgery is of great significance to maintain maximum limb function.

After the above-mentioned on-site ambulance, the wounded should be transferred to the hospital for treatment quickly and safely. During the transfer, it is necessary to pay attention to light and steady movements to prevent vibration and damage to the injured limbs, so as to reduce the pain of the injured, pay attention to their warmth and proper activities.
