During the cast, if you need to hold the limb in a special position, have someone else support the limb with the palm of your hand. Do not press the plaster with your fingers, otherwise it will easily cause local pressure. and cause ulcers.
The hardening and setting of the plaster takes a period of time, during which the position and condition of the limbs should always be kept in a fixed state to prevent the plaster from breaking.
After the plaster bandage is fixed, use a non-fading pen to mark the date of the fracture and the status of the fracture on the plaster, so that the doctor can grasp the situation at the next review.
After bandaging, be sure to observe the skin condition of the distal end of the affected limb, mainly to see whether the color will turn purple, whether the skin temperature has dropped, and whether the limb is numb. If the above symptoms appear, it means that the plaster is too tight and blood circulation is blocked. The bandage must be cut immediately.
After a period of immobilization, the cast will gradually loosen as the patient’s swelling improves. At this time, the meaning of fixation has been lost, and the plaster bandage must be replaced in time.
