Syndrome of prolonged compression (SDS) – a kind of severe trauma caused by prolonged compression (compression) of soft tissues. It is characterized by complex pathogenesis, treatment complexity and a high mortality rate. SDS (crash syndrome, traumatic toxicosis) develops

The reason for the occurrence of SDS may be a fall in catastrophes of the wreckage of buildings and various structures, large stones, trees, pillars, etc., as a result of which blockages are formed. In this

During the SDS, the compression period and the post-compression period are distinguished. The latter is divided into early (up to 3 days), intermediate – from 4 to 18 days after the compression is removed and late

The earlier the first medical assistance is provided to the victim, the more favorable the course of the SDS and the results of its treatment. At first, it is especially important to ensure the basic vital

Phlegmon (phlegmona) – acute purulent inflammation of the soft tissues. It differs from an abscess in the absence of a purulent membrane. Depending on the localization, phlegmon can be epifascial (superficial), subfascial (deep) and specific (purulent mediastinitis, paranephritis,

Phlegmon treatment is carried out in a surgical hospital. At the beginning of the disease, with tissue infiltration, conservative methods can be used: limb immobilization, biogalvanization, electrophoresis of drugs, vibroacoustic therapy against the background of intravenous

As mentioned above, for the occurrence of a bruise, a quick and short-term action of a traumatic force is necessary. When squeezing, the traumatic force acts much more slowly over a more or less long time. Violation

Etiology of Sarcoma The etiology of malignant soft tissue tumors is not well understood. About 2/3 of soft tissue tumors are located on the limbs in the area of ​​large muscle masses. Symptoms of soft tissue tumors

Fibrosarcoma Favorite localization – soft tissue of the limbs. Arising in the thickness of the muscles, as a rule, does not lead to functional changes. On examination and palpation, a firm, fine-tuberous, well-defined, round, painless tumor, covered
