Treatment for head impact in infants

Infant head impacts cause our children to suffer tremendous physical torture at a young age. We have seen many friends' children around us suffer from infant head impacts, and parents have tried every possible way to treat our children. This situation is a manifestation of abnormal function of a certain aspect of the child's body, and we ourselves often experience this situation. Many people do not understand this situation very well, nor do they know effective treatment methods. So what should we do when this happens? Blind treatment has disadvantages. Here we will introduce the treatment methods for infant head impact.

Treatment:

1. Treatment of scalp laceration

Scalp lacerations are mostly caused by sharp objects directly hitting the scalp. Because the scalp is rich in blood vessels, it is not easy to close on its own after rupture, and the bleeding is more severe.

First aid: For smaller and shallower wounds, you can cover them with sterile dressings and apply local pressure to stop the bleeding. However, for scalp lacerations caused by blunt objects, if a skull fracture is suspected, it is not advisable to use pressure bandages. Instead, you can use a towel or cloth strip to make a ring larger than the wound, place it around the wound, and then bandage it to prevent the fracture fragments from sinking into the brain tissue due to pressure and causing greater damage. Skull fractures are treated in the same way as large wounds with severe bleeding, and finger pressure can be used to stop bleeding.

2. Treatment of scalp hematoma

Scalp hematomas are mostly caused by minor blunt force or collision injuries to the scalp. Scalp hematomas generally do not require special treatment. After an injury, there is no need to rub the swollen lump repeatedly, just apply local pressure or cold compress. For larger scalp hematomas, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

3. Treatment of open craniocerebral injury

Victims of open head injuries often show symptoms such as impaired consciousness, dilated pupils, loss of light reflex, respiratory failure, accompanied by headaches, vomiting, and weak pulse. Brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid and blood were flowing out of the wound.

First aid: The victims of open craniocerebral injuries are in critical condition and most are in a coma. It is very important to keep the airway open during first aid to avoid suffocation. Immediately use your fingers wrapped in a handkerchief or towel to remove mucus, vomit, and blood clots from your mouth, and remove your dentures. Untie the injured person's collar, belt and other restraints. In patients who are in a deep coma, the tongue may fall back and block the airway.

The above content introduces us to the treatment methods of infant head impact. Through the above understanding, we can dispel many unnecessary concerns, and we can also use the correct methods to treat the phenomenon of infant head impact that occurs in ourselves. We can do it in a timely and effective manner, so as to avoid the deterioration of the disease and restore our health as soon as possible.
