Hola amigos. Quizás sepa que manejo casos de lesiones por quemaduras. Quiero compartir información importante porque las quemaduras pueden ser devastadoras y espero que usted nunca sufra de esta manera.

Las lesiones por quemaduras pueden ser insoportablemente dolorosas y requieren atención inmediata y cuidados adecuados para evitar daños mayores y ayudar en la curación. Ya sea una quemadura menor por tocar una sartén caliente o una quemadura grave por un incendio, saber qué hacer y qué no hacer en los momentos críticos posteriores a la lesión puede marcar una gran diferencia en el resultado. En esta guía, describiré lo que se debe y no se debe hacer durante las lesiones por quemaduras para ayudarlo a responder de manera efectiva en este tipo de emergencias.

Si Hacer:

  1. Enfriar la quemadura: Deje correr inmediatamente agua fresca (no fría) sobre el área quemada durante al menos 10 a 20 minutos. Esto ayuda a detener el proceso de ardor y alivia el dolor.
  2. Retire los elementos restrictivos: si se produce una quemadura en un área donde hay ropa o joyas, quítese estos elementos lo antes posible. Esto evita más lesiones si se produce hinchazón.
  3. Cubrir con un paño limpio: una vez que la quemadura se haya enfriado, cúbrala con una venda estéril no adhesiva o un paño limpio para protegerla de la suciedad y los gérmenes. Evite el uso de bolas de algodón o cualquier material que pueda adherirse a la herida.
  4. Busque atención médica: en caso de quemaduras graves, especialmente aquellas que afectan grandes áreas del cuerpo, busque atención médica de inmediato. No intentes tratar quemaduras graves en casa, ya que pueden requerir atención especializada.
  5. Tome analgésicos de venta libre: si el dolor es insoportable, puede tomar analgésicos de venta libre como ibuprofeno o acetaminofén para aliviar el malestar. Siga las instrucciones de dosificación recomendadas.
  6. Mantenga la quemadura elevada: si es posible, eleve el área quemada por encima del corazón para reducir la hinchazón y el dolor.
  7. Esté atento a los signos de infección: esté atento a la quemadura para detectar signos de infección, como aumento del dolor, enrojecimiento, hinchazón, calor o drenaje. Si nota alguno de estos síntomas, busque atención médica de inmediato.

No hacer:

  1. No use hielo: si bien puede parecer intuitivo usar hielo para enfriar una quemadura, en realidad puede causar más daño a la piel. El hielo puede restringir el flujo sanguíneo y empeorar la lesión.
  2. Evite reventar ampollas: Las ampollas que se forman como resultado de una quemadura sirven como una barrera natural para proteger la piel que se encuentra debajo. Reventarlos aumenta el riesgo de infección y ralentiza el proceso de curación.
  3. No aplique mantequilla ni ungüentos: contrariamente a la creencia popular, aplicar mantequilla, aceite o ungüentos a una quemadura puede atrapar el calor y las bacterias, lo que provoca una infección. Limítese al agua fría y apósitos esterilizados para el tratamiento.
  4. No rompas la piel quemada: si la piel está intacta, no intentes romperla. Romper la piel aumenta el riesgo de infección y retrasa la curación.
  5. Evite vendajes apretados: si bien es importante cubrir la quemadura, evite envolverlo demasiado apretado ya que puede afectar la circulación y causar dolor adicional.
  6. No se quite la ropa pegada a la piel: si hay ropa pegada al área quemada, no intente quitársela. Cortar alrededor de la ropa es una opción más segura para evitar daños mayores a la piel.
  7. No demore en buscar ayuda médica: si la quemadura es grave o cubre un área grande del cuerpo, no demore en buscar atención médica. El tratamiento médico oportuno es fundamental para prevenir complicaciones y promover la curación.

Si sigue estas recomendaciones sobre lo que se debe y no se debe hacer durante las lesiones por quemaduras, podrá manejar la situación de manera efectiva y brindar la atención necesaria hasta que llegue la ayuda médica profesional. Una acción rápida y apropiada puede marcar una gran diferencia en el resultado de una lesión por quemadura, así que esté preparado para manejar este tipo de emergencias.

I had the pleasure of being represented by the Law Offices of Paul Samakow. I give him and his team 5 stars. Starting with Pablo, with whom we had the consultation, Jose C., Daniel O., Beatriz O., Sofia, and Eva are some of the people who handled different aspects of my case. They were all very kind and always kept me informed about my case. If for some reason I couldn't answer the call, they always left me a voicemail with details of what they needed from me. When I called them back, I never had any problems getting back to them. Paul Samkow will always be 100% recommended by my family. Near the end of my case, Attorney Paul Samakow himself contacted me directly. He was very honest, direct, and with his experience gave me the best advice. He effectively obtained the highest possible compensation for me and my two children in the car accident we were involved in.

First class law office . Dealing with a car accident at times becomes tedious. I’ve never dealt with a car accident ever before. I felt fully prepared and knowledgeable throughout, the whole process of my case. They never sold me a dream and they also actually over achieved . The most import thing to me as a client was communication. From the concierge. To the paralegal shoutout Justin. To the attorney on my case. I just wanna say thank you for everything. Going with this law firm was one of the best decisions. I could have made. 5starsssssssssss

I recently worked with Paul Samakow and Rocco on a personal injury case, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Paul and Rocco were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to understand my needs and kept me very well updated throughout the entire process. They were always willing to go above and beyond to meet my expectations. Even when challenges arose, they remained flexible and open to compromise, ensuring my priorities were always respected.I highly recommend Paul Samakow and Rocco Turzi

I first got injured ( burned in a sensitive area) and I didn't know what to Expect or what to to next. I found Mr samakow and his group online, read.some reviews and gave them a call. Mr samakow took my call and we began the process of gathering details.Throughout this case I was anything but easy to work with - I was frustrated and upset with the insurance company often.Life was happening too fast around me to begin with, and this is without considering the stress from the case itself.However, through all of this chaos and confusion, Mr samakow remained calm, and for the most part found a way to accommodate me at every turn the case took. He was honest about his intentions, and always transparent. My case settled in roughly 15 months!Thanks to paul, and the samakow law group for your patience and professionalism!I'd use again, and I highly recommend. 👌Best regards,Ryan s.

I got in a motor accident in the beginning of the year. had the pleasure of working with the Law offices of paul A. Samakow, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease.A special shoutout to Paralegal Evelyn, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Her professionalism and compassion made a challenging situation much more manageable.The attorneys at the firm are equally impressive, demonstrating expertise and dedication to their clients. I felt confident in their hands, and they delivered outstanding results.Thank you Evelyn, and the entire team, for your exceptional service!

I've been a nursing home abuse attorney for 25 years. In Virginia the legislature codified understaffing cases for attorneys like me in direct response to the case of Alcoy v. Woodbine which Paul Samakow litigated and won! In short, nursing home residents in Virginia are more protected because of Paul Samakow. Having now gotten to know him better I am moved by how caring and compassionate he is. An attorney that is brilliant and capable coupled with a loving passion for his clients is a dangerous combination. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Paul Samakow will not let you down.

Paul is excellent I trust him with my life. He took on my case not even being in his own state, he had to get a special license to practice in my state just for my case. He took very good care of me and I was a pain in the butt! He assured me that I've made the right choices. He educated me on a lot of things, step by step process. The thing that got me the most was he goes above and beyond professionalism. He keeps you well informed. He's an excellent lawyer ! I can say that he did my case Justice and you'd be a fool not to hire him . Paul will have your best interest first and foremost I can tell you that is fact!
