The benefits of applying ice immediately after trauma.
Ice is used extensively in sports medicine but strangely, it is used rather seldom or never in emergency medicine.
Head or backbone trauma can cause death, paralysis, etc, because the nervous tissue is restrained from swelling by bone. Applying ice immediately greatly reduces swelling and hence tissue death. Applying ice around open wounds causes vasoconstriction and promotes coagulation, greatly reducing blood loss and risk of death. It also slows down or stops bacterial proliferation reducing the risk of infection. |
