新北市林口區頂福巖清水祖師廟於今日舉行傳統過火儀式,期間發生信眾腳底燒燙傷意外。
新北市林口區頂福巖清水祖師廟今午舉行「過火清淨」儀式時,多名信眾赤腳踩過炭火後,傳出腳底燒燙傷送醫;新店耕莘醫院提醒,高溫接觸造成的傷害,不能只憑傷口大小或疼痛程度判斷,尤其腳底是承受體重、維持行走的重要部位,受傷後應立即以清水降溫並就醫評估,後續也須妥善照護,避免感染與反覆摩擦影響癒合。
耕莘醫院急診醫學部醫師呂昀峰表示,接觸炭火後,即使已經離開熱源,皮膚仍可能因殘留熱能持續受損,第一時間應先移至安全處,以流動、乾淨的自來水沖洗患部約15至30分鐘,並注意身體其他部位保暖;切勿直接冰敷或使用冰水,以免造成進一步傷害,也不要塗抹牙膏、醬油、油膏或來路不明的藥物。
呂昀峰指出,民眾可掌握「沖、脫、泡、蓋、送」的急救原則,輕柔移除未與傷口黏住的鞋襪、衣物;若已沾黏,切勿強行撕除。降溫後,以乾淨紗布或不易沾黏的敷料輕覆傷口,儘速就醫;若傷勢廣泛或身體不適,應立即撥打119,不要為了完成沖泡步驟而延誤送醫。
「有水泡不要自己刺破,沒有很痛也不代表傷得輕。」呂昀峰提醒,若皮膚出現發白、焦黑、感覺變鈍,可能涉及較深層傷害;腳底受傷後若有起水泡、破皮、持續疼痛或無法正常踩地,也應由醫師評估,糖尿病、末梢循環不佳或感覺異常者,更不能僅憑疼痛程度判斷傷勢。
耕莘醫院整形外科主任李秉綸表示,燒燙傷治療不只處理當下疼痛,還要持續觀察傷口深度、癒合情形與功能恢復。所謂二度燒燙傷仍有深淺差異,不能一概認為都能在相同時間內癒合;若傷口較深、出現壞死組織或癒合不佳,可能需要清創,部分患者須進一步評估植皮。
針對腳底傷口,李秉綸提醒,恢復期間須依傷勢調整站立與行走量,避免赤腳踩地、長時間站立及鞋襪反覆摩擦,必要時由醫療團隊評估減壓與輔具需求。待傷口完全癒合後,再依皮膚狀況進行保濕與疤痕評估;若有疤痕增厚、緊繃或影響活動,可由醫師評估矽膠產品、壓力治療及復健需求,切勿將除疤產品直接用於尚未癒合的傷口。
