What is Gangrene?

Gangrene is the death of body tissue caused by a loss of blood supply, infection, or both. It most commonly affects the extremities, such as the toes, fingers, and limbs, but can also occur in internal organs and muscles.

Types of Gangrene

  • Dry Gangrene: Results from reduced blood flow and typically affects people with vascular diseases, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.
  • Wet Gangrene: Occurs when tissue becomes infected, leading to rapid swelling, pus formation, and a foul odor.
  • Gas Gangrene: A rare but life-threatening form caused by bacteria that produce gas within infected tissue.
  • Internal Gangrene: Affects internal organs, such as the intestines or gallbladder, due to blood supply blockage.

Symptoms of

Vascular Trauma

Discoloration of the skin:

Skin may turn blue, purple, black, or develop red patches, indicating tissue death.

Severe pain followed by numbness:

Initial intense pain is often followed by numbness as the tissue dies.

Foul-smelling discharge from the affected area:

A strong, unpleasant odor may come from the site of infection.

Swelling and blistering:

The affected area may become swollen, with blisters forming as tissue damage progresses.

Fever and general weakness:

If the gangrene is caused by an infection, fever and fatigue may occur.

Cold or loss of sensation in the affected area:

The affected tissue may feel cold or lose feeling as blood flow is compromised.

Emergency Care and Stabilization

Gangrene is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention. Initial treatment focuses on stabilizing the patient, preventing infection spread, and restoring blood flow.

Surgical Intervention:

  • Debridement: Removal of dead tissue to stop the spread of infection.
  • Amputation: In severe cases, removing the affected limb or part may be necessary to save the patient’s life.
  • Skin Grafts and Reconstructive Surgery: After tissue removal, grafts may be used to promote healing and restore function.

Medication and Antibiotic Therapy

  • Intravenous Antibiotics: To treat or prevent bacterial infections.
  • Pain Management: Medications to alleviate discomfort and inflammation.
  • Blood Thinners: If gangrene is due to blood clots or poor circulation.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

This advanced therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helping the body fight infection and stimulate tissue healing.
