Overview of Common Surgical Conditions
While working in a sub centre, you may come across various cases of injuries,
fractures and burns etc. So you should be able to identify these acute conditions,
provide immediate first aid/ stabilization care, take appropriate measures to
prevent further problems and make appropriate referral. If you come across such
patients in a subcentre you should be able to take prompt action and advise the
relatives for care enroute to higher health facility. You also need to develop skills
in identifying congenital malformations and warning signals of cancer so that
you can take decision for referral of such patient to appropriate health facility.
This block will enable you to develop knowledge, skills and competency in
identifying the common surgical conditions and providing care as per protocols
appropriate to sub centre. Some of the conditions are very life threatening so you
should immediately refer such cases without any delay.
