Abstract:
Cold injury is very damaging. This article summarizes the mechanism, types, and rehabilitation of cold injury, focusing on the degree and clinical treatment of frostbite. Frostbite can mainly cause damage of microcirculation and capillary structure, while burn injury can mainly cause damage of cutaneous tissues. Based on this, the key point of management of frostbite is to improve microcirculation and appropriate rewarming, while that of burn injury is wound repair. Up to date, the rate of amputation caused by frostbite is still high, and the rehabilitation for sequela caused by frostbite remains a big challenge in modern medicine. It is worth paying more attention to.
