"On the Use of Hydrogen Peroxide in Deep Wounds"

Doctors often need to choose drugs carefully in the treatment of wounds. In today's words, the use of hydrogen peroxide is quite important in deep wounds.

Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. Deep wounds are easy to hide filth and germs, and are in a dark and low-oxygen environment, which is conducive to the growth of anaerobic bacteria. When hydrogen peroxide is applied to it, it decomposes and releases new oxygen when exposed to catalase in the tissue. This oxygen can cause lipid peroxidation of the outer membrane of bacteria, destroying its structure and function, thereby killing germs, especially for anaerobic bacteria.

When using hydrogen peroxide in deep wounds, it is also necessary to be cautious. If the wound is shallow and small, overuse can reverse normal tissue. Although the cover can kill bacteria due to its oxidative properties, it will also damage surrounding healthy cells. Therefore, when using it, check the depth, size, and degree of contamination of the wound. Deep and heavily polluted, you can rinse with an appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide to clear dirt and kill germs; shallow ones need to be weighed to prevent excessive injury.

Also, when rinsing, the action should be slow and gentle, so that the hydrogen peroxide can reach all parts of the wound, but do not cause secondary injury rudely. After rinsing, you should also rinse the residual hydrogen peroxide with normal saline to avoid continuous injury.

In short, the treatment of hydrogen peroxide in deep wounds has its advantages and disadvantages. A doctor should understand his reasons, judge his situation, and use it reasonably in order to heal the injured and avoid the harm of improper treatment.
