Year 1990, Volume: 24 Issue: 2, 82 - 85, 11.09.2006

Abstract

The acutes physical findings after cold exposure and subsquent rewarming, together and eventual depth of tissue necrosis, provide the basis for this retrospactive classification system. Cold injury is generally classified into four degrees according to the most severe injury present: I., II., III, and IV. In addition to physical finding, the follawing classsification system includes the environmetal conditions under whih the cold insult occured: Chilplains, Immersion foot, Frostbite, High altitude frostbite.
In view of the current understandig of the patholojic process, the most significant part of treating any cold Injury should be an effort the prevent collapse of the microvascular circulatory system. Body temperatures should be restored to normal without delay and further exposure to cold avoided if possibl. Frozen limb should be thawed as rapidly as possible by immersing it in warm water or phsiologic saline lolution (42-44 C). Antisludging agents and sympathectomy is also useful.
In this paper 167 cold injuried cases were reviewed. 40 of them had I. degrees, 91 of them had II. degrees, 22 of them had III degrees. and 14 of them had Iv. degrees could injury.

Abstract

Ekstremite donukları akut fizik bulgularına göre dört derecedir. l. derece hipoestezi ödem ve eritemle karakterizedir . II. derece de buna veziküller . III. derecede büller ilave olur. IV. derecede cilt kurudur, ağrı yoktur, kemik dahil nekroz gelişir. Ayrıca çevre şartlarına göre, soğuk etkisiyle, Chilblain, Trench foot, frostbite gibi klinik şekiller de görülmektedir.
Tedavide ilk adım mikrovasküler sistemin kollapsını önlemektir. Bunun için dansite azaltıcı mayiler damardan uygulanır, ekstremite tedrici ısıtılır. Daha sonra donuklu bölge infeksiyondan korunur.
40'ı I.derece, 9l'i II. derece, 22'si III.d erece, 14'ü IV.derece 167 vaka üzerinden donuklu hasta tedavisi irdelendi. 6 vakada MP ve daha distal eklemlerden amputasyonlar yapıldı. Donuklu hastanın bilgili ve titiz bakımı iyi sonuç oranını arttırmaktadır.
