Emergency Wound Management

Emergency wound management involves assessing and treating injuries to promote healing and prevent infection. First, ensure safety by avoiding further harm. Clean the wound gently with soap and water, then apply antiseptic. If bleeding occurs, apply pressure with a clean cloth or bandage to control it. Cover the wound with a sterile dressing to protect it. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus. Seek medical help for severe wounds, deep cuts, or if the wound was caused by a bite or a dirty object. Proper care is essential for recovery.
