[Hyperbaric oxygenation in gas gangrene therapy].

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.

[Experiences of control measures against hospitalism (author's transl)].

Infection caused by gram negative germs in hospitals increased 14-fold since 1957 and measures today 66p.c. of hospital infection. The following causes are mainly responsible for this fact: inadequate hygienic measures, increased antimicrobial chemoprophylaxis and-therapy, changing pattern of antibiotic resistance, increased degree of severity of operations, and the mounting number of intensive care unit patients. 13 letal pneumonias and 1 peritonitis caused by klebsiella were observed in the Department of Surgery of the University of Tübingen Hospital. Search of the source of infection as well as control measures are described. Limitation of application of antibiotics to absolutely necessary cases (5%) and strict observation of hygienic measures are requested. A full time hospital hygienist is needed for supervision.
