It
is defined as a direct freezing of body tissues. Frostbite is most
likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart and those with
large exposed areas. Thus, it usually affects the extremities, in
particular the fingers, toes, ears and face.
Risk factors
- Smoking
- Alcohol Consumption
- Diabetes
- Peripheral Vascular disease.
- Dehydration
Stages:
There
are three stages of frostbite. Each of these stages have varying degrees of pain.
1. Stage 1
First
degree frostbite causes skin to appear yellow or white. There may also
be slight burning sensations. This stage of frostbite is relatively
mild and can be reversed by the gradual warming of the affected area.
2. Stage 2
Second
degree frostbite develops after continued exposure. This stage is
characterized by the disappearance of pain and the reddening and
swelling of the skin. Treatment in this stage may result in blisters
and it may also peel the skin.
3. Stage 3
Third
degree frostbite results in waxy and hard skin. It is at this stage
that the skin dies and edema may occur as a result of the lack of blood.
If
third degree frostbite is not treated immediately then the damage and
the frostbite becomes permanent, nerve damage will occur due to oxygen
deprivation. Frostbitten areas will turn discolored, purplish at first,
and soon turn black. After a while nerve damage becomes so great that
feeling is lost in the frostbitten areas. Blisters will also occur. If
feeling is lost in the damaged area, checking it for cuts and breaks in
the skin is vital. Infected open skin can lead to gangrene and
amputation may be needed.
Treatment
- Rewarming
should not be attempted if there is any further risk of freezing as
refreezing may increases the risk of ultimate injury.
- Rewarming must be active using warm water. And is associated with pain.
- Direct heat and rubbing must be avoided to prevent further tissue injury.
- Excessive movement of frostbitten tissue can cause ice crystals that have formed
in the tissue to do further damage. Splinting and/or wrapping frostbitten extremities are therefore recommended to prevent such
movement.
- Management
has to be done to prevent infection of affected area.
- Surgery
to remove dead tissue.
- Homeopathy-
Homoeopathic medicines will help in relieving pain, preventing infection and
speeding up the healing process along with the conventional methods.
