Lucy Piper: It is inevitable that it is sometime rather you are going to have to patch up your child after a full. But cuts and scrapes can be nasty particularly to the ears and the eyes. With me now I have got Ivonne Dormer from St. John Ambulance to give us a bit of advice. I suppose wounds aren't just from cuts and scrapes.Ivonne Dormer: No, children get hold of things, they stick them in their eyes, in their ears, or the noses, you name it they'll do it.Lucy Piper: We will talk about that in a moment, but right now we are going to see what to do for minor cuts and scrapes. Sam Dunsmore is along with mom Catherine to show her what to do.Samantha Dunsmore: So what has Mallory(ph) actually done? Catherine Greenburg: She was playing outside and caught her hand in a bruised thorn.Samantha Dunsmore: Oh, can we have a look, it's quite clean cutting in so far, it's not jagged. But obviously with thorns you do still have to be very careful, at least having not fallen over, there are no bits of gravel in it. But we also give it a wash just to make sure it is clean and there is nothing in that.Mallory, we need -- get your hand down to the tap, we'll have a little bit of water. There we go, just make sure it's nice and cold, we haven't hit the hot tap instead of the cold tap and just run it through, there is no need to scrub at it, if there is bits of grit in there then what it's going to do is cause skin damage. So just run it through, there. How does that feel Mallory?Catherine Greenburg: Are you right there?Samantha Dunsmore: Alright, good, and nice good clean. Okay, let's take it out. Tissue, I will go dry it off all the way around and wounds are better of healing if they are covered up.Catherine Greensburg: So we are going to need to put a plaster on it. Yup, could you choose one, and we'll draw a face from it.Samantha Dunsmore: We'll put that in the bin. Should we hold that? Oh, you dry it off, that's it, you dry it off. There we go.Catherine Greensburg: Mummy hold your hand.Samantha Dunsmore: And very quick, there we go. Plaster is on, all done. What a clever girl.Catherine Greensburg: And you took the really big one.Samantha Dunsmore: Make sure that we have covered the wound completely. We don't want the wound being stuck on the sticky stuff. So make sure that it is covered.Catherine Greensburg: Okay, now you've got to do one for your dolly.Samantha Dunsmore: Oh yes! Where is that dolly?Catherine Greensburg: Here is your dolly. You have to stick it on, make her all better too?Mallory: Yes.Catherine Greensburg: Sam said, you've got to cover it up. That's it. So you can do the same. Oh better.Samantha Dunsmore: Is dolly better. Catherine Greensburg: There we go.Samantha Dunsmore: Good girl! Well done!Catherine Greensburg: Okay.Lucy Piper: Oh! Poor little Mallory there. Yvonne, can you tell us what to do for a wound to the eye?Yvonne Dormer: It depends whether it's only eye lid or on the eye itself, it's only eye lid you can treat it as any other wound, cover it with a dressing, just make sure the dressing goes round on the diagonal so you are not blind-folding the child.If the wound is on the eye ball it's very serious, you only get issued with two eyes and they goes for life, so they have to be treated carefully. Anywhere on the white of the eye on the colored part of your eye, serious problem, and really both eyes should be bandaged to stop them moving and get off the hospital straight-away.Lucy Piper: Okay, how about wounds to the ears?Yvonne Dormer: Ears, you have the problem with blood clotting inside the ear canal, and that can lead to hearing problems later on, so we want to allow that to drain out. So with a dressing part opened out put it against the ear, lean the child's head towards that side so any blood can drain into the dressing, it should stop bleeding fairly quickly. If you have any worries again get them checked out.Lucy Piper: Goes the doctors. And finally how about wounds to the nose?Yvonne Dormer: Well, there is the option of the -- again the external wound or the nose-bleed, external wound, fine, just normal direct pressure, probably can't bandage it, might be able to stick a plaster on. But if it's a nose-bleed common mis-conception is you stick their head back.Lucy Piper: Yeah.Yvonne Dormer: Unfortunately you don't because that makes blood go down the throat and then they are choking it. So head forward, pinch the soft part of the nose, not the bone just below the soft part of the nose, and probably about ten minutes may not be to keep the child still for that long, but that's what's needed. Lucy Piper: Okay, thank you very much, Yvonne. So to sum up for minor cuts and scrapes clean the wound and apply pressure, making sure there is nothing embedded, cover with dry-dressing don't use antiseptics and creams, and if your child does have a wound in the ear or the eye make sure it's checked by a doctor.
