A person reports 4 hours after having a clean wound without laceration. He had taken TT 10 years before, the next step in management is:
- Full course Tetanus vaccine to be given
- Full dose TT with TIG
- Single-dose TT
- No need for any vaccine
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
To determine the appropriate management for a clean wound without laceration in a person who received a Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccine 10 years ago, we need to consider the guidelines for tetanus prophylaxis in wound management. The main factors to consider are:
- The type of wound (clean or high-risk).
- The patient's immunization history.
According to the guidelines:
- For clean, minor wounds, if the last TT vaccine was administered more than 10 years ago, a single booster dose of TT is recommended.
In this scenario, the patient had a TT vaccination 10 years ago and has a clean wound. Therefore:
- The appropriate management is to administer a Single-dose TT to provide adequate protection against tetanus.
