1. Disinfection. Take disinfection of the skin as an example. Take the part that needs to be disinfected as the center, and rotate it in one direction in front for disinfection, with a diameter of more than 5 cm. A cotton swab can only be used once and cannot be recycled to avoid cross-infection.
2. Press the wound. Press normally to stop bleeding. Take subcutaneous injections (vaccination shots) and intramuscular injections (buttock injections) as examples, just press the cotton swab parallel to the wound.
2. Press longitudinally. Taking intravenous injection (mainly for blood tests) as an example, the general nurse's needle insertion technique is to pierce the subcutaneously from the top or side of the vein, and then sneak into the vein along the vein. So generally after the needle is removed from this kind of wound, it looks like one wound from the surface of the skin, but you are actually two wounds. If the pressing technique is not correct, the skin around the needle inlet will appear bluish-purple color. In fact, this is caused by congestion in the wound in your skin. Don't worry if you encounter this situation. The congestion will usually disperse on its own in about a week.
3. The time the cotton swab is pressed. The pressing time of the cotton swab after needle removal is also very particular. Generally, people who are older than 40 years old, have good blood coagulation function, and have not taken anticoagulant drugs, usually about five minutes. People who are over forty years old or who have taken anticoagulants should press for about ten minutes or longer, depending on individual circumstances.
4. Taboo of cotton swab pressing. The most taboo thing about pressing the cotton swab after removing the needle is to press it for two minutes and pick it up to see if it bleeds. Under normal circumstances, as long as you press for less than five minutes, the wound will bleed. And the act of picking up the cotton swab from time to time will only cause bruises around your skin, turning into a bluish purple.
