The risk of slipping and falling during thawing is as high as during freezing. Vascular surgeon Danil Naumov told socialbites.ca about the most popular injuries from falls on the street.
“Soft tissue injury is the simplest and most common injury. The treatment is also simple – use anti-inflammatory ointments and apply cold to the injury site for the first 1-2 days, then use dry heat,” he said.
According to Naumov, it is also possible to damage ligaments, fractures, concussion and even lung injury in the event of a fall on the street. “Symptoms of atelectasis (lung contusion) are chest pain, shortness of breath, and bruised lips,” he warned.
Spleen injury is a rare but life-threatening injury and may present with the following symptoms: weakness, whitening of the skin, and low blood pressure within the first 10-20 minutes.
“General actions after any fall – do not rush to stand up suddenly, try to soberly assess your situation and listen to the body. If something worries you or you notice the above symptoms, it is better to seek help from passers-by and call an ambulance, ”advised Naumov.
In order not to fall, the surgeon advised me to buy a medical plaster and stick a few pieces on the base.
