Their patient was the 4-year-old girl with trombastenii Glantsmana. It is a rare disease characterized by chronic epistaxis . Traditional methods of treatment in her case did not help and the doctors decided to try to stop the bleeding with a swab made of bacon. For this, they were cut thin strips of meat products and fat removed from them. Slices of cured bacon, wrapped in gauze, put the girl in the nose, and the bleeding stopped almost immediately.
About the healing benefits of bacon doctors knew before, however, considered this way of stopping bleeding harmful and little effective. The main argument against such a procedure was a risk of human infection with animal bacteria in the meat. But when doctors had to rescue the juvenile patient (the girl's condition was so severe that health workers was a serious reason to worry for her life), the doctors decided to take a risk, and it has paid off. Slices of bacon coped with the task, even when modern means stop nasal bleeding We were powerless.
What to do when epistaxis :
1. Ask the victim slightly tilt your head forward (so that blood does not leak into the nasopharynx).
2. Attention! In no case can not blow your nose!
3. On the nose put a chill.
4. Pinch the nostrils for a few minutes.
5. If the bleeding does not stop, try to put cotton swabs soaked in hydrogen peroxide in the nasal passages and squeeze their fingers to the nasal septum for 15-30 minutes.
The tampon can quickly make a cocoon wool length of 2-3 cm and a thickness of 1-1, 5 cm (children 0, 5 cm).
If the bleeding does not stop, call "ambulance"
ATTENTION!
A person with epistaxis can not lie: in this case, the blood flow of the nasal passages will not be swallowing. This can result in vomiting blood.
