Nasal bleeding is a common emergency in daily life, usually caused by excessive internal heat. Parents should handle it promptly and appropriately, and in the process, stabilize the child's emotions to avoid fear and anxiety. Next, what are the nursing measures for nosebleeds introduced in the encyclopedia?
1. Hemostasis: For minor bleeding, finger pressure can be used. When there is unilateral bleeding, press the bleeding side nasal wing with your fingers. When there is bilateral bleeding, pinch the two nasal wings tightly with your thumb and index finger for about 5-10 minutes to stop the bleeding. If there is still a small amount of bleeding, repeat the procedure. Massive bleeding requires a doctor's examination for any blood disorders or other lesions.
2. Psychological care: Quickly stabilize the child's emotions, relieve anxiety and tension, and actively cooperate with treatment. Choose a clean, quiet environment, with light that is not too bright, cool colored rooms, and suitable temperature and humidity.
3. Pay attention to the position of the patient: take a semi recumbent position, with the head tilted forward (shock patients lying flat), and place a movable backrest on the bed for vomiting blood and hemostasis operations, to prevent difficulty breathing caused by uvula prolapse and edema.
4. Observe for continued bleeding: Tell the child to spit out the blood flowing from the posterior nostril into the curved disc and not swallow it. Firstly, observe the bleeding situation, and secondly, prevent the swallowed blood from causing vomiting and collapse. Notify the doctor promptly when there is suspicion of active bleeding.
5. Observe for any signs of shock: Pay attention to the child's mental state and facial changes. If symptoms such as mental exhaustion, sweating profusely, or cold limbs are found, report to the doctor in a timely manner to ensure smooth infusion.
6. Maintain oral hygiene: Take good care of your mouth to prevent infection. Rinse your mouth with mouthwash. For smaller cases, wipe your mouth with physiological saline.
7. Pay attention to eye hygiene: When the nasolacrimal duct is obstructed, there may be overflow of tears and conjunctival congestion. Eye drops can be used.
