Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach to severe polytraumatized patient is very important for a rapid, uncomplicated recovery. Specialized centres with special beds, monitoring equipment, and a multidisciplinary team are required. The authors report a case of a 26-year-old man admitted to their department in an emergency setting for a crush injury (occupational trauma) of the lumbar, gluteal and perineal areas, complicated with septic shock and gas gangrene of the injured areas. A multidisciplinary approach to the patient, consisting in surgical and plastic surgical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the use of a special antidecubitus fluidized bed allowed complete recovery within 7 months without any motor or sphincter disorders.
