COMPLEX THERAPY OF GENERAL PURULENT INFECTION WITH USE OF HBO.

Practical recommendations in surgery.

For recent ten years the actuality of problem of treating general purulent infection (GP) steadily improves. This is because the reduction of sensitivity of pathiogenic microbes to antibiotics; lessening of the reactivity of sicks and long-termed period of neglecting of antiseptics contrary to improving of application of antibiotics.

As sepsis isn't a disease itself, but one of degrees of GP, and, besides, sepsis and septic state can't be exactly divided from each other, the following gradation of sepsis is proposed.

1) Purulent-resorbtive fever. Vast purulent foci; wave type development of pathology; intermittence of fever for more than 7 days after disclosing of focus. The inlocations are sterile.

2) Septicemia. These are sicks with sharp purulent infection, hard general state, strong fever, positive inlocations of blood; nevertheless metastatic purulent foci are absent.

3) Septicopiemia. All as for septicemia and presence of metastatic purulent foci.

4) Chronic sepsis. Purulent foci are present; but they are not too active.  The inlocations are not sterile. Periodical sharpening of disease with improvement of temperature.

chronic sepsis {death }

 

The transitions of these graduations of sepsis can be represented as in Table above (B.Kostuchenok et al.,1977).

Sepsis also can be gradated on the length of time of process:

1) immediate (1 - 2 days)

2) sharp (5 - 7 days)

3) pre-sharp (7 - 14 days)

 

Gradation of sepsis only by clinical forms can't be the foundation

for development of concrete form of therapy; besides the display of disease depends on the time, spent from the beginning of disease. We have gradated the period of the disease at three stages. This is certainly an abstract scheme; each concrete case has its own particularity. Nevertheless this gradation has a practical application, for it signs the essence of metabolical and pathophysiological processes, helping in the selection of identification and treating.

Three periods can be signed in phase of sharp sepsis:

1) tensed phase (1 - 3-d days);

2) catabolic phase (4 - 9-th days);

3) anabolic phase (10 - 30-th days).

The main systematic transgressions, attending sepsis.

1) nervo-psychical transgressions as a sequence of toxic encephalopathia and neirotoxicosis display themselves as apathy or excitation; diphoria; coma.

2) cardiovascular violations - tahicardia; arterial hypotension and vascular dystonia; rhythm violations; trophic violations and myocard ishemia, violations of micro circulation.

3) respiratoric transgressions - tachypnea; improvement of VPM; lowering of coefficient of oxygen utilization; hypohemia; respiratoric alkalos; roenthological displays of lung parenchyma violations.

4) violation of functioning of parenchymathous organs: jaundicity of skin; hyperbilirubinemia; hyperasothermia; isohypostenuria; pathalogy of biochemical indexes.

5) Metabolic transgressions: coagulopathies; changes of water-electrolytic balance; disproteinemia; sharp violations of acid-alkaline balance.

For their determination a complex investigation is required.

Clinical display and treating of sepsis in stage of tension.

In case of insufficient local reaction (inflammation) other systems are included to supply the security of body. Development of hypatalamo-hypophysal system causes the tension of all supplying systems. Disproportion between reducing endogen stock and improving loading cause the decay of energetic stock and hard metabolic violations.

Septic shock with sharp hemodynamic violations and toxic phenomena is dominating in clinical display. Flaccidity; apathy; adynamia (something like after injection of morphine) are being developed as well as foci (abscesses or hematomes) or diffusion (meningitis; encephalopathies; encephalitis). Hemodynamic violations mean disbalance between abilities of vascularity and volume of blood being supported by reduction of pressure or its unstability are developed. Independently of the therapy taxicardia reaches 120 - 140 per min. with slight, tender pulse. Reographic index is only 50 - 60% of normal.

Cardiac violations are released through deafness of sound, systolic noise and rhythm transgressions. Electrocardiogram can determine hypoxic violations on myocard, blockades of conductivity, hard metabolic transgressions. Central venous pressure improves. Violations of micro circulation cause the change of color of face and body. Inter vascular coagulopathia deepens cyanosis and petexial bleedings. Circulation's violations together with hypoxemia caused by lung and oxidation-reduction cycle, produces hard metabolic shifts. Tissue respiration is only 40% of normal. Sharp tachypnea (40) and improvement of VPM in 2 - 2,5 times. Hyperthermia (39 - 40 C) and hectic fever; primary and metastasic purulence improve the violations.

Bacteriologic hemolisines, with the destruction the erythrocytes (1,5 - 2,5 million), cause anemia, violate cerebral circulation. Amount of leukocytes is improving; amount of lymphocytes can reduce even to zero. Strong septic diarrhea vomity, intestine paresis and septic glossites appear.

In treating of sepsis its complete and urgent sanation is required. Further treating includes compensation of sharp cardiac insufficiency; diminishing of toxemia and bacteriemia. Application of antibacterial therapy causes limitation of size of focus; reduction of pain.

Antibacterial therapy. The beginning can't be delayed for 3-4 days to receive data of analyses; active antibiotics would be used against staphylococci (oleandimysine; eritromycine; neomycine; monomycine, ceporine); antibacterial antibiotics are also needed. Synthetic ones are more advantageous: they are more resistant against enzymes, less toxic and don't cause avitaminose.

The best identification is a visual microscopic one. The schedule of medicines for treating is represented.

Usually the applied therapy isn't enough to treat sepsis. Combination is desirable:

a) inhibitors of cellar membrane (penicillines, cephalosorines);

b) detergents (polymixines, antifungous medicines);

c) synthesis suppressers (levomecitine, tetracycline, streptomycin,

macrolides: oleandimicine, erythromycine);

d) managing of the nucleic acid synthesis (actinomicine, rubomicine,

lincomicine).

To improve the concentration of antibiotic in purulent foci the intervascular injections are preferable.

The application of antibiotics by no means reject application of antiseptics: local (furaciline, rocal, dioxydine, etc.) and general ones (1% blue metilen, chlorophillipt solution).

 

The sulphanilamines, especially prolonged ones, are also of use. They strengthen the activity of antibiotics and lessen their toxicity; they are of peroral utilization: sulphodemisine -4-6g on four receptions per day; sulphodemitoxine -1g a day; sulphacamphocain -10% solution 2ml, 4-6 times a day, injections. The displays of efficiency of therapy are reductions of inflammations; intoxication; fever; the purulent focus would compulsory become opened.

2. Specifications of catabolic phase of sepsis and their treating.

The peculiarity of that phase is improvement of protein, lard and carbohydrate catabolism, utilization of enzymes, reduction of functional abilities of organs and systems. De compensation of water-electrolyte and acid-alkaline balances as well as inactivation of enzymes take place. The zone of inflammation and destruction enlarges. Secondary infections are usual. Purulent activity improves reduction of proteins. Purulent activity is supported by endogen toxins (appearing as the result of catabolic processes and decay of necrotic tissue). All these determines the specification of therapy: treating of focus first of all by means of local antibioticotherapy and streaming aspiration method. As the control lessening of fever and local inflammations can be taken.

Local application of proteolitic enzymes (tripsin or chymopsin,10-20 mg per 30-50 ml of solution lessens the resistance of microbes and inflammation. But on the other hand it can improve sepsis. A severe control of proteolytic activity of blood is needed. The application of antibioticotherapy would be based on antibioticogram: the mistakes in selection of medicine can cause antibioticoresistance, toxic activity and disbacteriosis; allergic and toxic reactions.
