- \nConnecticut<\/span> scan may show fascial thickening, edema<\/span>, subcutaneous gas and abscess formation.<\/li>\n
- \nMagnetic resonance<\/span> The scan shows similar findings to CT but is less specific as tissue enhancement can mimic other inflammatory processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Surgical exploration<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Surgery is the gold standard for diagnosing necrotizing fasciitis: fascia<\/span> It separates from the surrounding tissue.<\/li>\n
- Little incisions<\/span> with local exploration are useful to identify necrotic<\/span> tissue in other cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n \n \n \n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/span>What is the treatment for established wet gangrene?<\/span><\/h2>\nTreatment for gangrene depends on the location and cause, but focuses on:<\/p>\n \n- radical surgical debridement<\/span> +\/- amputation<\/li>\n
- Spread spectrum antimicrobial<\/span> Therapy: Penicillin G, clindamycin, vancomycin, and gentamicin can be used for empiric therapy for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), gram-negative, gram-positive, and anaerobic<\/span> organisms<\/li>\n
- Hemodynamic support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Administration may also include:<\/p>\n \n- \n
Worm debridement therapy: Worms consume dead and infected tissue<\/li>\n - Vascular surgery to improve circulation.<\/li>\n
- Hyperbaric oxygen, especially in patients with diabetes or peripheral vascular disease.<\/li>\n
- \n
Intravenous immunoglobulin<\/span> \u2013 This can limit the inflammatory response by binding staphylococcal and streptococcal toxins.<\/li>\n- Treatment of underlying conditions such as diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
the incidence<\/span> of wartime gas gangrene has been markedly reduced with case identification and isolation, and early debridement, amputation, and supportive treatment.<\/p>\n<\/span>Which is the forecast<\/span> for wet gangrene?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe prognosis in wet gangrene depends on the extent of the disease, the underlying cause, and the timing of appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n Anaya et.al have constructed a clinical score to predict patient outcomes for infectious gangrene based on several clinical criteria:<\/p>\n \n- Heart rate > 110 beats per minute<\/li>\n
- Temperature <36 grados cent\u00edgrados<\/li>\n
- Serum creatinine > 1.5 mg\/dL<\/li>\n
- Age > 50 years<\/li>\n
- WBC > 40,000 per uL<\/li>\n
- \nHematocrit<\/span> > 50%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Patients with few of these findings had a risk of death of 6% in this study, while patients with several findings had a risk of death of up to 88%. The prognosis can vary widely due to the aggressive nature of gangrene if early treatment is not accessed.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lo que esta mojado gangrena?
