IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION
Immediate hospital attention should be given personnel who sustain equipment related injuries
while operating the system. In such cases, it is vital that medical personnel be apprised of all
facts relevant to such injuries. Therefore, all operating personnel should be provided with
waterproof emergency medical alert tags or cards, describing the nature of their work and the
possibility of injury inherent in the use of water jetting equipment. The below example of a
standard card can be photo copied, laminated and used as medical alert tag.

MEDICAL ALERT
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This patient may be suffering from a water jet
injury. Evaluation and management should
parallel that of a gunshot injury. The external
manifestations of the injury cannot be used to
predict the extent of internal damage. Initial
management should include stabilization and
a thorough neurovascular examination.
X-rays can be used to access subcutaneous air
and foreign bodies distant from the site of
injury. Injuries to the extremities can involve
extensive nerve, muscle, vessel damage, as
well as cause a distal compartment syndrome.
Injuries to the torso can involve internal
organ damage. Surgical consultation should
be obtained. Aggressive irrigation and
debridement is recommended. Surgical decompression and exploration may
also be necessary. Angiographic irrigation
studies are recommended pre-operatively if
arterial injury is suspected. Bandages with a
hygroscopic
solution (MgSO
4
) and
hyperbaric oxygen treatment have been used
as adjunctive therapy to decrease pain, edema
and subcutaneous emphysema.
Unusual
infections with uncommon
organisms in immune competent patients
have been seen; the source of the water is
important in deciding on initial, empiric
antibiotic treatment, and broad spectrum
intravenous
antibiotics should be
administered.
Cultures should be obtained
