Then and now--severe facial injuries: emergency care
Abstract:
Looking back through old copies of 'NATNews' of twenty years ago we found an article by W. D. Mackennan, then Consultant Dental Surgeon at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. Its title was 'Severe Facial Injuries--Emergency Hospital Care'--NATNews Summer 1970. Principles of care were based on the four Cs: Control of the airway. Control of the haemorrhage. Control of the shock. Control of the fractured fragments. Emergency care included clearing the airway, responses to air or blood in the chest, oedema of the neck and so on. Positioning was regarded as vital and use of trachaeostomy was discussed--'elective trachaeostomy is always preferable to that carried out in an emergency'. The discussion of haemorrhage control ranged over pressure bandaging, digital pressure and use of the recently introduced product, Surgicel.

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
