Write short notes on the Splint |
Answer» Splint : A splint is a device used for support or immobilization of a limb or the spine. It can be used in multiple situations, including temporary immobilization of potentially broken bones or damaged joints and support for joints during activity. Splinting immobilizes injured extremities and prevents further injury, decreases pain and bleeding and allows healing to begin. Splint is most commonly used during fractures, dislocations and sprains. Advantages: • Stabilization of an extremity fracture with a splint will preserve proper bone alignment and alleviate discomfort. • After reduction of a dislocated joint, anatomical positioning is maintained by application of a splint. • Splints may be used to give desired . position at rest and functional positioning to the involved active joint. Temporary splints can be used to alleviate pain and to prevent additional injury during transport to an emergency department or while awaiting evaluation by a specialist. Contraindication: 1. For injuries that are prone to severe swelling, even a splint can become restrictive as the swelling increases. Extra padding may be placed under the splint if extensive swelling is anticipated, allowing room for expansion. 2. When neurovascular compromise is present as a result of a fracture or dislocation, splints should not be placed without first attempting immediate reduction. 3. Use appropriate universal precautions for potential exposure to body fluids when open wounds are present. 4. Whenever possible, use sheets or pads to protect the patient’s clothing during splint application. |
