A type of bandage, it is usually a square piece of white cloth (cotton) with sides of 90 to 100 centimeters cut in half diagonally. A small triangular bandage is made by folding this in half again. It has a wide range of uses and is easy to use, so it can be used as is or folded to a suitable width. In addition to covering or fixing a wide area, it is useful for bandaging the head, chest, shoulders, and buttocks, which are difficult to wrap with regular bandages (roller belts). It is also used as a triangular bandage to support the upper limbs. When covering the head with a triangular scarf, first fold the bottom of the scarf back about 3 centimeters, turn it outward, and place the centre of the bottom at the centre of the forehead (above the eyebrows), with the tip hanging down at the back of the head. Next, hold the bottom with both hands and cover the head while squeezing the scarf at the ears to make it tight, then cross both ends at the back of the head and tie them in the centre of the forehead. Pull the tip of the back of the head downward to smooth out any wrinkles and tuck it into the crossing, or bring the tip to the forehead and tie it with the previously tied end. To use a triangular scarf with an elbow support, wrap one end around the neck and tie it, supporting and immobilising the forearm which is bent at a right angle. In the past, there were triangular scarves with instructions on how to use them dyed in, but this was thought to be intended to ensure that anyone could use it correctly in an emergency.

包帯の一種で、普通は1辺が90~100センチメートルの正方形の白布(木綿)を対角線で二つ折りに切断したものをいう。これをさらに二つに折ったものが小三角巾である。用途が広く、使い方も簡単なため、そのままの形で使ったり、適当な幅に畳んで使ったりする。広い範囲を覆ったり固定したりするときのほか普通の包帯(巻軸帯)では巻きにくい頭、胸、肩、臀部(でんぶ)などの包帯として便利である。また、上肢(じょうし)を支える提肘(ていちゅう)三角巾としても用いる。 三角巾で頭部を被覆する場合は、まず三角巾の底辺を約3センチメートル折り返し、これを外側にして底辺の中央を前額(眉(まゆ)の上)中央に当て、頂点は後頭部に垂らす。ついで両手で底辺を持ち、耳の部分で絞るようにひだをとって密着させながら頭部を覆い、両端を後頭部で交差させて前額中央で結ぶ。後頭部の頂点は下方に引いてしわを伸ばし、交差部の中に挟み込むか、あるいは頂点を前額部に持ってきて先に結んだ一端と結ぶ。提肘三角巾の使い方は、三角巾の端を首に回して結び、直角に曲げた前腕を支持固定する。かつては、三角巾に使用方法が染め描かれていたものがあったが、これは救急に際してだれもが間違いなく使用できることを目的としたものと思われる。 [山根信子] [参照項目] |©Shogakukan"> 三角巾の使用例 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
