Winter skiing, ice skating and other sports are deeply loved by young people, and the incidence of sports injuries associated with them has also increased. How to perform proper first aid treatment once encountering sports injuries? Experts remind that it is essential to warm up adequately before winter sports. If accidents occur, timely and standardized emergency measures are crucial. Tang Qiang, Chief Physician of the Rehabilitation Department at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Once a sprain or strain occurs, proper treatment is crucial. Firstly, it is necessary to rest and immediately stop exercising to allow the injured area to rest and avoid further damage. The second step is to apply ice, wrap an ice pack with a towel and apply it to the wound for 15 to 20 minutes, every 2 to 3 hours, for 24 to 48 hours. Do not use ice packs directly on the skin to avoid frostbite. The third is compression bandaging, using elastic bands to moderately compress the wound to reduce bleeding and swelling. The fourth is to elevate the affected limb and promote blood reflux. If the injury is severe, with obvious deformities or severe pain, immediate medical attention should be sought to rule out the possibility of a fracture. (New Society)
