[nabilebraheim]

@mgspw13 the disease is very bad

[mcksvnssn1]

[nabilebraheim]

[Vivasaurus]

[Sexyhotcocoa]

i am so scared to catch this. how common is this disease?

[nabilebraheim]

@Sexyhotcocoa not common

[SharptonsRaceCard]

I had NF in my right arm. Doctors thought I was drug seeking, and let me lay there for three days with no pain control while it ate half of my arm away. Good times.

[nabilebraheim]

@SharptonsRaceCard sorry

[bboyStuntZ]

@SharptonsRaceCard How is your arm now?

@nabilebraheim That's where I first heard of this disease and after seeing this video and reading more information on it, its not a very happy disease to have.

[nabilebraheim]

@Something6000 WE CAN HELP THESE PATIENTS

[headhunter7766]

@Something6000 Someone doctor said he used Micronyn or whatever it's called to cure his son from it.

[Ash2good99]

My dad had this. Was in an induced coma for 2 weeks. It was cured though.

[nabilebraheim]

[nabilebraheim]

@bcount1 sorry

[appievanheerlen]

verry good video, I had Necrotizing Fasciitis last year November, but I am still recovering from it and I hope to get at work in October or November. I got at the hospital at 12.30 and I got surgery at 13.00 hr. I am happy that I survived!!

[nabilebraheim]

@appievanheerlen great story

thanks

[ema1171224]

Possible causative pathogens: Streptococcus Pyogenes Group A Streptococcus/Gram + (primary cause) Exotoxin-Cytokines target skin bacteria

Transmission of pathogen-A common entry point for the bacteria is through a wound such as a burn, cut, scape, or insect bite

Treatment-Powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics, skin grafts may be needed, hyperbaric oxygen therapy-this involves placing the patient in a chamber that delivers 100% oxygen at high pressure-if bacteria determined to be oxygen-avoiding.

I lost my father to this disease when i was 10 years old....

He got it while on a airplane flight for his work they had to make a emergency landing, im guessing he got it from the airport somehow and it was under diagnosed for i think more than 24 hours.

[nabilebraheim]

@InfestedPunxx sorry to hear that

[girlinterrupted4life]

I lost a very close family member to this. 5 days after diagnosis.

[nabilebraheim]

@girlinterrupted4life SORRY TO HEAR THAT

[tsbialecki]

For the skin grafts, do you use autograft or allograft?

[nabilebraheim]

@tsbialecki autograft

[kamelg1]

Very educational video!!

[nabilebraheim]

@kamelg1 great

[ajwassef]

Great illustrations!

[nabilebraheim]

@ajwassef THANKS

[kaleidoscopekay]

Fascinating video!

Does the small cut in the limb have to be a deep laceration, to start necrotizing fascilitis, or can it start from a small scrap?

[nabilebraheim]

@kaleidoscopekay

It can start without a wound

[TCMAUMEE]

Great case examples and easy to understand.

[nabilebraheim]

@TCMAUMEE great

[chinafox1]

very useful video!

Give us the information of necrotizing fasciitis. Early diagnosis and treatment could save the limb and the life.

I like the video.

[nabilebraheim]

@chinafox1 thanks

[mwidmer84]

Thorough, yet to the point. Excellent video!

When doing the debridement, is there a special type of antibiotic wash that is used?

[nabilebraheim]

@mwidmer84 debridment is important

antibiotics according to the culture

treatment should be early

[AnimalGuardian71]

@nabilebraheim - Speaking of anti-biotics, would you treat empirically while waiting for the CXs, or would you just treat with a broad spectrum ABX while awaiting CX results?

[nabilebraheim]

@AnimalGuardian71 yes i agree with you ..

treat with vanco,clinda and penicillin

then give specific antibiotics when you obtain the result of the culture and sensitivity

[AnimalGuardian71]

@nabilebraheim - Makes sense. I just wasn't too sure what the protocol is for something like that. I was a trauma RN for 15 yrs, before changing careers, but never really had to delve into the longterm care aspect of medicine. Great video by the way :)

[nabilebraheim]

@AnimalGuardian71 thanks,spread the word
