Classification and manifestation of pulmonary gangrene in western medicine

Because there are foreign bodies mistakenly into the trachea and bronchi, so as not to cause acute reactions and stay, and then formed in the process of corruption, Western medicine named pulmonary gangrene, belonging to the category of traditional Chinese medicine pulmonary carbuncle, is one of the symptoms. After the occurrence of lung gangrene, patients with purulent and rotten nose, dyspnea and morning and evening cough, expectoration and other phenomena, causing lung gangrene bacteria, viruses, but also may bring more respiratory and systemic destructive diseases.

Only from the point of view of pulmonary gangrene, Western medicine can be divided into dry gangrene, wet gangrene, gas gangrene and so on. The embodiment of dry, wet and other types of lung gangrene is actually determined by the overall yang or yin qi of patients in traditional Chinese medicine. If it is Yang Qi, there is little moisture in the body, so it will show dry gangrene in Western medicine. Western medicine expresses that the artery is blocked and the venous reflux is smooth, the necrotic tissue water is less dry, the dividing line is clear, and the body surface water is easy to evaporate, so the gangrenous site dries up and shrinks, and the infection is mild.

Gaseous gangrene

Wet gangrene, in traditional Chinese medicine, is because the patient is full of yin and heavy dampness, which brings favorable conditions for the breeding and proliferation of spoilage bacteria in lung gangrene. Therefore, in Western medicine, it is said that necrotic tissue contains more water, serious infection, local swelling and prominent, and will be dark green or black. In wet gangrene, spoilage bacteria wantonly decompose proteins, produce indole and odorin to form smelly snot, toxins are also easily absorbed by the body, causing systemic poisoning and external gangrene, and even shock and death.

Wet lung gangrene caused by heavy dampness develops rapidly and spreads infinitely, and there is no obvious dividing line, which can cause many complications, such as gangrenous appendicitis, intestinal gangrene, postpartum gangrenous endometritis and so on. Therefore, wet pulmonary gangrene is especially harmful, and humidity is heavier in summer, so patients with dry, wet, and gaseous pulmonary gangrene should actively dispel moisture, especially patients with wet pulmonary gangrene should eat less wet food, and do a good job in the prevention and treatment of lung gangrene in summer.

Wet gangrene

Gas gangrene is a severe acute specific infection caused by Clostridium with anaerobic bacteria. During the incubation period of 6 hours to 6 days, the pathogen mainly grows and propagates in the wound, and there may be gas or no gas production. The tissue in the wound is necrotic and decayed, resulting in an anaerobic environment, which is more conducive to bacterial reproduction and rapid deterioration of the disease. The clinical symptoms of gas gangrene are severe pain like bulging, the wound begins to be red and swollen, the skin is pale, nervous and shining. Then the wound turns purple-black, there are blisters with dark red liquid, and malodorous liquid can flow out. The muscles in the wound are dark red and swollen, lose elasticity, and the knife does not contract and does not bleed. Systemic symptoms including toxemia appeared in the later stage.
