Abstract des Autors
Abrasion and laceration management begins with controlling bleeding, assessing the wound site, and determining the patient's tetanus status. Abrasions are treated with thorough irrigation, a topical antibacterial agent, and an appropriate dressing. Laceration treatment includes anesthesia use and wound cleaning, suturing under sterile conditions, application of an appropriate dressing, and timely follow-up. Cyanoacrylate skin adhesives are a promising alternative to suturing for some wounds. Guidelines for return-to-play decisions are included. Verf.-Referat
