Last modified: 15/01/16 Print PDF  I was recently asked to share some literature I had placid regarding superintendency of amputations and amputated parts. Ambulance services worldwide have specific treatment guidelines for traumatic amputations and superintendency of amputated parts. Treatment of the patient for haemorrhage, shock, pain etc. is assumed, and here we are specifically looking at the vestige supporting superintendency of the amputated part. Little literature exists on storage and preparation of an amputated limb prior to transfer to a reconstructive plastic surgical unit for possible macroreplantation. The key concept paramedics must withstand in mind is that warm ischemia time should be limited, and this, withal with other aspects of superintendency of amputated limbs are often misinterpreted by healthcare professionals (Oomann et al.) This can be achieved by wrapping the amputated soul part in saline-soaked gauze or by indirect cooling (placing the soul part in a container and then placing the container on ice). Simple though this may seem, it is worldwide for potentially replantable limbs to be inadequately cooled or remoter damaged and hence unsalvageable, as described by Lloyd et al. The endangerment for successful reattachment decreases the longer the warm ischaemia time. The extremity should not be exposed directly to ice. According to a study by Sapega et al., metabolic deterioration in amputated limbs progressively declined with decreasing temperature of tissue to 10 degrees Celsius. However, at 5 degrees Celsius, no spare goody was detected, and at 1 stratum Celsius tissue forfeiture was noted. Many unsalvageable limbs are as a result of coming in uncontrived contact with ice. The unstipulated overall translating can be summarised as: Rinse part(s) with Normal Saline* if grossly contaminated Wrap part(s) in sterile gauze moistened with Normal Saline* or dry dressing. Place part(s) into plastic bag or container. Place bag/container into separate container filled with ice. Do not indulge part(s) to come into uncontrived contact with ice, do not freeze, and do not submerge in water. *The American College of Surgeons Guidelines for Management of Amputated Parts in 1996 recommend using Lactated Ringers instead of Normal Saline.
