    MANAGEMENT OFFACIALSPACEINFECTION

    HOST, NOT ANTIBIOTICS CURES INFECTION

    Presence of infection :- local and systemic sign.

    State of host defense :- depressed defense may be a)

    physiological, b) disease, c) congenital, d) drug induced.

    Principles for choosing antibiotics:1. Identify causative organism aerobes and anaerobes, GPC-Str GPC-Strp, GNB-E.coli GNB-fuso

    bactereobes

    2. Determine sensitivity: Majority is sensitive to penicillin

    3. Use a specific , narrow spectrim antibiotics:- Broad spectrum resitance , super injections.

    4. Least toxic.

    1. Bactericidal rather than bacterostatic

    1. Less resistance to hostt.

    2. Faster results.

    3. Flexibility with dose.

    Cost and patient complaince- od 80%, bid 69%, qid 35%

  • 8/6/2019 Space Inf Yuva Ppt

    51/95

    2.Principles of antibiotic administration

    1. Dose- 3-4 times MIC

    2. Time interval- 4 times t1/2.

    3. Proper route4. consistency in route

    5. combinations

    3 . Patient monitoring

    4. Causes of failure:

    Inadequate surgical drainage Depressed host defence

    Presence of foreign body

    Antibiotic problems- not reaching, adequate wrong choice, diagnosis.

  • 8/6/2019 Space Inf Yuva Ppt

    Incision and drainage

    Hiltons method:

    Objectives:

    To drain pus and maintain drainage.

    Relive pressure - vascularity( o2

    supply)

    By increasing vascularity- access to bodies defence mech. And

    antibiotics to reach the site.

    Converts spectrum of organism present- Anaerobic Aerobic

    environment.

    Reduces the load and narrows spectrum of antibiotics required.

  • 8/6/2019 Space Inf Yuva Ppt

    Principles in placing incision:-

    Healthy skin

    Esthetics

    Dependent drainage

    Explore and break compartments

    Place drain and suture

    Dont leave the drain for long period

    Regular re-exploration and irrigation

    Management:

    DEATH IS DUE TO AIRWAY

    OBSTRUCTION NOT BY SEPSIS

    Anatomic reasons- tongue pushedbackwars obscures visualising airway by

    broncoscope.

    Swelling in neck make the task of

    performing tracheostomy difficult.

    Management:

    Use of muscle relaxant ,sedative and

    norcotics are avoided as it can cause more

    respiratory depression. Incision and drainage is preferred to reduce

    pressure around airways.

    Bilateral submandibular and submental

    incisions are placed. If required intra oral

    Management:

    Aggressive antibiotics, exentsive surgical

    debridement like fasciotomy irrigation with
