How to treat cuts, gashes The following is one of a series of articles furnished by the Utah State Medical Assoc. and published In cooperation with the local newspaper. These articles are scheduled to ap-pear every other week through-out the year in an effort to better acquaint you with prob-lems of health, and designed to improve the well-bein- g of the people of Utah. Almost all of us suffer a cut or gash now and then. The cut hurts, it bleeds, it might get infected, it might cause tetanus. Even minor cuts and lacerations deserve respect (and prompt attention. The first thing to do when you gash your hand on a nail or smash a finger while hook-ing a mower to a tractor is to stop the bleeding. Some tiny little cuts bleed profusely. And sometimes a really serious gash bleeds verylittle. Cuts on the head, hands and feet usu-ally bleed more because of ex-cellent blood supply to those parts. A wound sustained from a sharp object, which might puncture an artery, usually bleeds more than the wound from a blunt object, which crushes blood vessels. In my opinion, the first aid technique mentioned in many handbooks" of using pressure points to, control bleeding is, at best, doubtful. This means applying pressure to the ar-tery supplying blood to the in-jured' part. Simple pressure di-rectly over the cut will do a better job of controling bleed-ing in all but the most ser-ious wounds. Keep up the pres-sure long enough to ,allow the severed vessels to contract and for the blood to clot. Tourniquets can be ' danger-ous and should be used only as a last resort. Constriction of a part for too long can cause gangrene. Ice or cold packs are ineffective in con-troling bleeding. Control of infection is the next step after bleeding is stopped. This means cleansing the wound. Warm, soapy wat-er is best, particularly if the soap contains hexachlorophene.
