Question

When controlling bleeding from a scalp laceration with a suspected underlying skull fracture you should?

Answer 1

When controlling bleeding from a scalp, apply firm pressure to the wound with sterile gauze or a clean cloth. But don't apply direct pressure to the wound if you suspect a skull fracture.

Scalp injuries are common injuries. The clinical assessment should identify the associated serious head trauma, galley laceration, or bone defect in the skull. After hemostasis is achieved and the wound is washed, the scalp injury is usually closed with surgical staples under local anesthesia.
