Hydrogen Peroxide Open Wounds Safety
On the safety of hydrogen peroxide for open wounds
In the world, there are injuries and the wound is cracked. For doctors, what medicine to choose to treat it is related to the speed and afterward condition of the disease. Hydrogen peroxide is often used in the medical tract, but it is used in open wounds, and there are many opinions on its safety.
In the past, doctors often used hydrogen peroxide to clear the wound. Because hydrogen peroxide encounters wound tissue and decomposes to produce oxygen, this oxygen can wash away the filth and bacteria of the wound, and has a certain degree of bactericidal ability, so it is often regarded as a good agent for debridement.
However, today's medical community is gradually disagreeing. First, the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, although it can kill bacteria, it also hurts the normal tissue of the wound. The newly formed granules at the wound are delicate and fragile. The action of hydrogen peroxide may cause damage to the wound, delaying the healing period of the wound. Second, when hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce oxygen, if it is in the deep wound, gas or emphysema are rare, but it is also a disease.
According to many clinical experiences, small and shallow wounds should be moderately used with hydrogen peroxide, and subsequent proper treatment may not be a big problem. If it is deep and large, it needs to be used with caution. The doctor should weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to the condition of the wound, the depth, the degree of pollution and other factors, and then decide whether hydrogen peroxide is available or not.
In short, the use of hydrogen peroxide in open wounds cannot be generalized. Medicine is subtle, and when taking medicine, it must be carefully reviewed, with the safety of the patient as the top priority, so that the medicine can be used to its fullest extent and help the patient leave the disease early and return to health.
