Clean Surgical Wound Hydrogen Peroxide
On cleaning surgical wounds with hydrogen peroxide
Nursing of surgical wounds is related to the recovery of the injured, which is the most serious. Among them, there are quite a few points to be investigated about cleaning wounds with hydrogen peroxide.
In the past, hydrogen peroxide was often used to clean wounds because of its oxidative properties and its ability to cause bacterial protein denaturation. However, today's medical understanding is not what it used to be.
Cover a surgical wound and have its own healing mechanism. At the wound, new granulation tissue and various cells are trying to repair the wound. Although hydrogen peroxide can disinfect and sterilize some bacteria, its strong oxidative properties will also damage the healthy tissue cells around the wound, delaying the healing process of the wound.
And when hydrogen peroxide decomposes in the wound, a large number of bubbles will be generated. Although this seems to be able to "clean" foreign bodies, it will actually disrupt the coagulation mechanism of the wound, causing bleeding or affecting the coagulation effect.
Today's medicine advocates that when cleaning a surgical wound, an appropriate cleaning method should be selected according to the specific situation of the wound. If it is a superficial wound that is cleaned, rinsing with normal saline and disinfecting with iodophor is sufficient to ensure the cleanliness of the wound and promote its smooth healing. If the wound is heavily polluted, or there is a suspicion of infection by special bacteria, the specific antibacterial lotion should be selected according to the type of pathogen.
In short, the use of hydrogen peroxide to clean surgical wounds has been a commonly used method, but today, in view of its potential disadvantage to wound healing, doctors should be cautious, not follow the old method, but according to current medical knowledge, choose the best wound cleaning and care for the injured, so as to help the injured recover quickly.
