Michel Cymes reveals his advice
On RTL, Michel Cymes revealed some advice to follow if you suffer a domestic accident. He explained :” It seems trivial to treat a small woundthat’s precisely the trap.”
The doctor clarified: “It seems so banal that it sometimes leads to mistakes. I’m talking regarding a wound that can be described as superficial. In other words, first or even second degree burns.”
“But also abrasions, cuts which affect the epidermis, and from time to time the dermis. But in this case superficially. So, you must have two first reflexes,” explains the professional.
Michel Cymes indicated: “First, wash your hands thoroughly with soap. And dry them with a clean towel. If you don’t have soap on hand, you use your hydroalcoholic gel. It’s better than nothing “.
Afterwards, he emphasized: “Second, stop the bleeding. And to do this, there are not 36 solutions. You have to exert a lot of pressure where it flows. So, use a clean cloth and be patient.”
Be careful with cold water
The man clarified: “It might take around ten minutes. Which is short in theory, but long when it comes down to it. I point out in passing that for reduce bleeding there are some tips« .
He advised: “You can lie down or lay down the affected person if the wound is on a leg or arm, you raise the limb so that the wound is above the heart.”
“Once the blood stops flowing, there are three stages. Namely: cleaning, disinfection, protection. Cleaning is done with water or physiological serum. He The water should be lukewarm or at room temperature« .
Michel Cymes also added: “I do not recommend cold water because it slows down circulation. And can therefore delay healing. So not really cold water. Except in case of burns, cold water.
In the latter case, cold water remains magical, because it “reduces the pain and prevents the burn from gaining ground. Afterwards, we move on to disinfection and we always disinfect starting from the center going towards the outside of the wound.”
One last tip to apply
The expert reported: “You use a compress soaked in an antiseptic. Be careful with Betadine. It is an antiseptic that contains iodine. It is contraindicated if you are pregnant, if you have thyroid disease or if you are obviously allergic.”
Michel Cymes continued: “Step three, you protect the wound with a bandage. If you only have adhesive tape, stick it on a sterile pad. And in the event of a burn, you opt for a fatty dressing.”
Of course, “if you have a fever, notice redness around the wound, or fluid leaking from a suspicious color like green, red, yellow and well, you have to consult« .
The doctor said: “If not, then the matter is continuing its course. However, you must change the treatment every day without forgetting to clean the wound once more, always with a sterile compress, always with an antiseptic.”
