[Hyperbaric oxygenation in gas gangrene therapy]. 1977

R Bähr, and L Koslowski

Gas gangrene which is caused by gram-negativ rod-shaped bacilli appeared longtime in war only. Now an increase of infection is noted by heavy traffic accidents. Reporting about 18 patients and treatment results we suggest for therapeutic proceeding: excision of wounds without primary amputation followed by hyperbaric oxygenation. In our opinion, surgical intervention and hyperbaric oxygenation should not be rival but complementary treatment of equal value.
