Objective To investigate the efficacy of interdisciplinary therapy in critically ill patients with gas gangrene in the 2008 W enchuan earthquake．Methods Four critically wounded patients with gas gangrene caused by Wenchuan earthquake were treated by interdisciplinary cooperation．Results Two patients received debridement and decompression were not amputated．Two amputated patients did not received futher amputation．Conclusions Interdisciplinary therapy of critically ill patients with gasgangrene in earthquake could limited the area of tissue necrosis，minimized the necessity of amputation and further amputation．
Objective To analyze risk factors and therapy strategies of critically ill patients with acute pulmonary edema(APE)after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake．Methods Data including the level of hemoglobin，mean arterial pressure(MAP)，central venous pressure(CVP)，serum albumin as well as complications and liquid balance 1 week，3 days，1 day before onset of APE was collected an d an alyzed retrospectively．Resets Among 142 patients during two months after May 12 earthquake APE was detected in 17 cases for 25 times．The hemoglobin Was (86．04 ±16．31)s／L，MAP was(99．40±17．38)mm Hg，CVP Was (13．64 ±4．09)mm Hg and serum albumin was(27．80±8．10)g／L．Acute renal failure，severe infection，cardiovascular disease and extremity lost were more common in APE patients．Theliquid net intake Was (1 725．05±4 624．84)mL for one week，(1 574．70±2 857．13)mL for 3 days and (368．56±1 589．89)mL for 1 day before the onset of APE．The liquid intake Was significantly higher in young group．APE Was alleviated promptly after integrated therapy in all cases．Conclusions Traumapatients with ARF or extremity lost are prone to be compromised with APE．Severe infection and overburden of liquid may be other predisposing factors．
