Dr. Huang Shichang
Effective management of head soft tissue injuries should be based on the specific nature of the injury. In cases of severe soft tissue damage, skin lacerations and active bleeding may occur. In such situations, patients should promptly go to the hospital within 6 to 8 hours after injury for wound debridement. The wound should be cleaned sequentially with povidone-iodine, hydrogen peroxide, and normal saline.
