Instrucciones para hacer un cabestrillo
Cuide de todas las heridas antes de colocar una férula (tablilla) o un cabestrillo. Si hay hueso visible en el sitio lesionado, llame al número local de emergencias (como el 911 en los Estados Unidos) o al hospital local para mayores recomendaciones.
CÓMO HACER UN CABESTRILLO:
NO trate de enderezar una parte del cuerpo lesionada, a menos que la piel se vea pálida o azulada o que no haya pulso.
Busque ayuda médica si la persona tiene una dislocación, un hueso roto o un sangrado profuso. Asimismo, busque ayuda médica profesional si usted mismo no puede inmovilizar por completo la lesión en el sitio.
