Technique staging medical cans involves the following steps:
- Training. For the procedure you will need: any container filled with water, a towel, a metal needle, ethyl alcohol, petroleum jelly, matches and cotton wool.
- Definition of zones of setting cans. They are forbidden to be located in the area of the shoulder blades, spine and kidneys.
- Preparing the patient. A person fits on a flat surface with his belly down. The head should be turned on its side, and the hair removed. It is important that the position is comfortable.
- Massaging movements need to distribute a small amount of vaseline over the patient's back.
- Build a wick using knitting needles and cotton wool, thenDampen it in alcohol and set it on fire. Take the jar in your hand and place it inside for a second. After that, quickly install it on the back of the patient. It is forbidden to increase the duration - it can provoke a burn. The same manipulations should be done with all the cans, after which the wick must be extinguished in water. The optimal distance between them is 5 cm.
- Cover your back with a towel. The duration of the procedure is an average of 20 minutes.
- After the time is over, you need to grab the jar with one hand and press the skin down at the very bottom with the other. The air, getting inside, provides light compression.
- Remove residual vaseline from the patient's back.
- At the end of the procedure you need to rest for half an hour.
Thus, the algorithm for setting cans is not difficult, but it is important to observe security measures.
