What is one critical feature of evisceration treatment?

In the treatment of evisceration, one critical feature is to keep the exposed organ warm and covered. This is essential because exposed organs are at risk of dehydration, hypothermia, and infection. By covering the exposed area with a sterile, moist dressing, it helps to protect the tissue, maintain moisture, and regulate temperature, which is crucial for preserving the viability of the organ.

Moreover, maintaining warmth is vital in preventing further complications that can arise from exposure to the external environment, such as tissue necrosis or shock. This approach promotes better outcomes until definitive surgical treatment can be performed.
