    Gangrene is the death and decay of body tissue caused by a lack of blood flow and oxygen. There are several types of gangrene, including dry gangrene which affects extremities, wet gangrene which occurs after injury and infection and leads to swelling and odor, and gas gangrene caused by bacteria that release toxins. Gangrene symptoms include cold, discolored skin that becomes shriveled in dry gangrene and swollen and smelly in wet gangrene. Treatment involves antibiotics, oxygen therapy, maggot therapy, and sometimes amputation to remove dead tissue.

    Gangrene

    By Nolan Quinn and Maddy


    Sorel

    What

    Gangrene=Death and
    decay of body tissue
    caused by insufficient
    blood supply, Usually
    following disease,
    infection, injury, blood
    vessel disease, or
    surgery.
    Thrive where there is no
    oxygen

    Types and Where

    Dry Gangrene= affects bodies extremities


    1. arteries get blocked= tissue slowly dies
    2. Affected body parts feel cold and turn
    dark, it will dry and wither/eventually
    falling off
    3. Mostly affects extremities such as
    fingers and toes
    Wet Gangrene= occurs with injury and
    infection
    1. Injury restricts blood flow to the certain
    area
    2. Blood cant flow to tissue so cant fight
    infection= infection sets in,
    3. Swelling from infection= even less
    blood flow= fast spreading
    gangrene=life threatening
    4. Become swollen, discolored, and
    smelly.

    Necrotising Fasciitis= Caused by


    serious bacterial infection, sometimes
    referred to as flesh-eating bacteria

    Bacteria enters a cut and spreads


    quickly, releases toxins
    Block blood to surrounding skin,
    causing death of skin
    Mostly attacks people with very low
    immune systems

    Gas Gangrene= just like Necrotising


    except develops deep in body ex)
    muscles (mostly from surgical wounds)

    Releases gasses and toxins to kill


    living tissue, then spreads
    Loves to be in low oxygen areas

    Types/Where continued

    Internal
    Gangrene=affects internal
    organs
    1.
    2.

    3.

    Blood flow to internal organ


    is blocked
    Happens when
    complications occur with a
    hernia
    Usually affects organs such
    as intestines, gallbladder,
    or appendix.

    How
    Occurs when there is dead tissue
    On toes, fingers and limbs
    It spreads by killing off more tissue
    It spread extremely fast usually must
    amputate

    Symtoms

    Three types: Dry, Wet, Gas


    Dry: affected area-cold numb red to brown to black and
    shriveled
    Wet: swollen- decays, extremely painful, smelly, oozing
    then turns black and affected person develops a fever
    Gas: brownish red discharge oozes, Gas produced by
    Clostridia may produce a crackling sensation, painful,
    then high fever and increase in heart rate

    Where
    Toes, fingers, limbs
    Internal organs
    Feet legs (most common)
