Hi, folks. My friend got a wound few days ago. He is hospitalized. As a sign, there is a crepitation in the wound. I would really like to know if this is a sign of the gaseous gangrene. I would really appreciate if someone could share this piece of info with me. Thank you in advance.

Hi to you too. Gaseous gangrene can be a dangerous condition. The tissue around the wound is usually swollen. If you press your fingers on it, you can feel crackly sensations. These crepitations come from gas. It is the one producing this sound. The tissue that is infected is completely destroyed. It is well that your friend is hospitalized. He will get there the best possible treatment. Bye!

Hi. Crackly sensations are indeed one of the most characteristic signs of gaseous gangrene. A patient can also have blisters full with red fluid. Heart rate can be increased. Fever can vary from moderate to high. This condition can give some severe complications. That is why it is good that your friend is hospitalized. I hope this helps. Good luck with all! Bye!
