"On the Choice of Hydrogen Peroxide and Isopropanol"
Doctors use drugs, and hydrogen peroxide and isopropanol are often the choice for cleaning and disinfecting agents. The two have their own characteristics. If used properly, it will get twice the effect with half the effort; if used inappropriately, it may cause other diseases, so it cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen peroxide is active and has strong oxidizing properties. In case of organic matter, it can quickly react and explain oxygen to achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization. And its decomposition products are water and oxygen, without residual harm, and are often used for wound cleaning, especially for deep wounds and wounds infected by anaerobic bacteria. Cover because of its oxygen release can inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria, remove foreign matter and necrotic tissue of the wound, and promote the healing of the wound. However, its oxidation is strong, if the concentration is too high, applied to the skin mucosa, easy to cause burns, so when using it, its concentration must be reviewed, depending on the depth of injury, the size of the wound and decide.
isopropanol, volatile, disinfectant power is also good. It can denature bacterial proteins, and achieve the purpose of killing bacteria. It is mostly used for disinfection of the skin surface, such as skin preparation before injection, can dry quickly and has a good disinfection effect. However, it is flammable, and it must be avoided when using open flames and hot topics to prevent the risk of fire. And because it is irritating to the skin, if used for a long time or at high concentrations, it may cause dry and chapped skin.
In summary, choose hydrogen peroxide or isopropanol, depending on the situation. Wound cleaning, especially deep or suspected anaerobic bacteria infection, should choose hydrogen peroxide; and skin surface disinfection, pay attention to quick drying and convenience, isopropanol is preferred. However, no matter what, you should abide by the usage and dosage, and weigh the advantages and disadvantages to achieve the purpose of safety and effectiveness. Doctors should not use it carelessly.
