How to Use Ambulance Dressings
To use the Steroplast Ambulance Dressing effectively, follow these steps:
- Ensure the wound area is clean and dry before applying the dressing.
- Open the sterile packaging carefully, maintaining the dressing's sterility.
- Remove the dressing from the packaging, taking care not to touch the wound-contact side of the pad.
- Apply the non-adherent wound pad directly to the injury site, ensuring it covers the entire wound.
- Secure the dressing in place using the attached cohesive bandage strap. Wrap the bandage around the affected area, applying firm but comfortable pressure to control bleeding and protect the wound.
- Check the dressing periodically to ensure it remains in place and monitor for any signs of continued bleeding or infection.
- Seek further medical attention as needed, particularly for severe wounds or persistent bleeding.
Remember, these ambulance dressings are designed for use by trained professionals in emergency situations. If you are unsure about how to properly apply the dressing or have concerns about the severity of the wound, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
When to Seek Medical Assistance
While Steroplast Ambulance Dressings are designed to provide effective emergency treatment for severe wounds and heavy bleeding, it is essential to seek further medical assistance in the following situations:
- If bleeding persists or increases after applying the dressing, despite maintaining firm pressure on the wound.
- If the casualty shows signs of shock, such as pale, cold, or clammy skin, rapid breathing, or a weak and rapid pulse.
- If the wound is the result of a severe trauma, such as a gunshot, stabbing, or a serious road accident.
- If there are signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or discharge around the wound site.
- If the casualty has a pre-existing medical condition that may complicate their recovery or increase the risk of infection.
- If you are unsure about the severity of the wound or the appropriate course of treatment.
Remember, ambulance dressings are designed for temporary use in emergency situations. They are not a substitute for professional medical care. Always follow the guidance of healthcare professionals and seek further medical attention as needed to ensure the best possible outcome for the casualty.
