About this document
Dressing and Bandaging Techniques by Jess De Baras is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dressing and bandages are used to cover wounds and stop bleeding. A dressing covers a wound to prevent infection while a bandage applies pressure to stop bleeding. Proper techniques for applying dressings and bandages include washing hands, using sterile materials, securing the dressing beyond the wound edges, and checking that bandages are still comfortable. Common wound types include punctures, abrasions, incisions, lacerations, and avulsions. Square knots are used to securely fasten bandages.
