Abstract:
The diagnosis, treatment, operation and diagnosis of two cases of occupational frostbite diagnosed in Shandong Academy of Occupational Healthy Occupational Medicine were analyzed retrospectively. In these two patients working in a low temperature environment, the finger frostbite did not arouse enough attention, one patient did not receive timely diagnosis and treatment, and one patient received timely medical treatment, but did not receive proper treatment, which ultimately led to the adverse consequences of finger amputation. The staff under the low temperature environment should strictly carry out the low temperature operation protection standard and improve their self-protection consciousness. If frostbite occurs, they should seek medical treatment in time, which can effectively reduce the disability rate.
