What is the principle of wound treatment after dog bite?


Healing hearts, healing lives.
If a normal person is bitten by a dog, and the dog is not injected with rabies vaccine or stray dog, then in this case, the patient first ties a tourniquet at the proximal end of the injured limb, then squeezes out the blood as much as possible, washes the part repeatedly with soapy water or clean water under running water, then applies iodophor disinfection, disinfects and dries, covers sterile excipients and band-aids, and it is best not to contact water within 2 weeks. Patients need to go to the emergency department of a regular medical institution or to a community institution for active rabies vaccination within 24 hours according to local conditions. After vaccination, patients should pay attention to rest, do not drink, do not stay up late, do not tire, and promote the mobilization of the body's self-immune mechanism. Patients should note that rabies vaccine generally requires 5 injections and should be actively vaccinated according to the plan.
