After the injury, deal with it correctly to prevent the infection from being tetanus

The tetanus is a serious disease of breeding and secreting toxins in a hypoxic environment, which is widely existed in nature in nature through the cracks of the skin or mucosa, causing poisoning. Patients will cause continuous contraction and twitching of the whole body.

Tracing wind is a serious disease. If the severe tetanus is not treated, especially the elderly and children, the mortality rate is almost 100%. Under the condition of sufficient medical conditions, even after active treatment, the mortality rate is above 10%or more. Essence Therefore, we need to attach great importance to the disease of tetanus and correctly prevent it.

Cycles are widely existed in nature

Bacarbacteriabacteria is widely distributed in nature, mainly in the soil, dust, and polluting water, and can also exist in the intestines and feces of humans and mammals. Bacarbacteriabacteria is usually existed in the form of spores. It can survive in the soil for several years, and it can be completely destroyed for about 1 hour under 100 degrees Celsius. After the bacteria enters the body, it can be reproduced in large quantities and produce tetanus and spasm toxins in a hypoxic environment. This toxin is one of the strongest toxins in nature. In other words, 1 gram of wounds and spasm toxins (peanuts size) can cause more than 6 million people to poison and die.

In life, as long as our skin and mucous membranes have broken mouths, tetanus sparbacteria may take the opportunity to enter our human body, and breeding in a hypoxic environment may cause disease. Common ways to invade the human body into the human body include: 1. The history of the skin and mucous membranes has a history of external injuries or a history of damage (such as trauma, knife injury, nail tie injury, animal bite injury, etc.); second, skin, mucous membranes, soft tissues There are a history of bacterial infection (such as chronic otitis media, periodontal abscess, perianal abscess, etc.); 3. History of gastrointestinal integrity such as digestive tract perforation (such as the perforation of the upper digestive tract, colon perforation, etc.).

What symptoms should be alert to tetanus wind

The trauma causes the skin and mucosa to be damaged, especially if it is not regulated, if the following situations occur, they should be highly vigilant and seek medical treatment as soon as possible: 1. Puttering muscle spasm causes limited mouth; 2. Facial muscle spasm causes bitter smiles; three , Separate muscle pain and persistent rigidity or paroxysmal spasms; 4. Difficulty swallowing.

According to the clinical manifestations of patients, tetanus can generally be divided into the following three clinical types:

1. Skywharma: This is also the most common and serious type. The main clinical manifestations of patients are the painful spasm of the whole body muscle. The gradual development can develop difficulty, bitter smiles, and closed teeth. Further aggravation can be manifested as stiff neck, corners, and plate -shaped abdomen.

2. Local tetanus: clinically rare. Patients are mainly manifested as a single limb or body in the area near the wound, which occurs in ankylonicity and spasm muscle contraction in a certain part of the body. Local tetanus is relatively mild.

3. Head tetanus: Head tetanus is a special local tetanus. Most of them occur in patients with injuries or chronic otitis media and chronic sinusitis. The head tetanus can develop into a whole body tetanus, which is generally comparable to the whole body tetanus.

Patients who have been tetrisy, if they are not regulated after being injured, they may suffer from tetanus.

Tombfess and spasm toxin is very toxic. The extremely small amount of tetanus toxin can cause people to become ill. After the onset, it cannot stimulate the immunity of the human body to deal with the incidence of tetanus. Even if the person who has suffered from crater, if there is no standard treatment after being injured again, there is still the possibility of suffering from tetanus. So, how can we avoid the disease again? First, regulate the treatment of wounds and eliminate the source of toxins as much as possible; second, according to the patient's previous immune history and wounds, the use of specific tetanus detoxification agents- "tetanus wind needle" is used to give the body a temporary protection; Third, make up for the immune gap to avoid getting sick again.

Correctly deal with wound prevention of tetanus

Due to the widespread existence of tetanus sparbalobacteria in nature, as long as the skin and mucous membranes are broken, the risk of infection is infected. After accidental injuries, you should press the hemostasis first, and then rinse the wound with water as soon as possible, and then cover the wound with a clean cloth to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

It should be emphasized that it is not enough to completely avoid the incidence of tetanus and wind. It is not enough to deal with the wound. It is also necessary to combine the patient's immune history for correct immunity prevention.
