    Study Notes

    Cellulitis, Abscess, and Fluid Therapy in Surgery

    Cellulitis:

    • Acute bacterial infection of the skin characterized by redness, warmth, swelling, and pain.
    • Caused by a break in the skin, local trauma, or bacteremic spread of infection.
    • Common causative agents are Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci.
    • Symptoms include fever, chills, erythema, swelling, tenderness, and pain.
    • Diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, CBC, and culture and sensitivity.
    • Mild cases can be treated with oral antibiotics, while severe cases require intravenous antibiotics.
    • Complications include blood infection, bone infection, inflammation of lymph nodes and heart, meningitis, shock, and tissue death.

    Abscess:

    • A localized collection of pus composed of tissue debris and dead and alive bacteria.
    • Can be caused by trauma, infection, neoplastic growth, or iatrogenic factors.
    • Commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Symptoms include fever, pain, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, heat, swelling, tenderness, redness, and thin, white or yellow skin.
    • Complications include bacteremia, rupture into nearby tissue, bleeding, loss of function of vital organ, antibioma, and chronic discharging sinus.
    • Treatment includes drainage, antibiotics, and aspiration.

    Fluid Therapy in Surgery:

    • IV fluids are chemically prepared solutions given to patients who cannot take orally.
    • Used to replace fluid loss or help in giving IV medication.
    • Indications include rapid restoration of fluid and electrolytes in dehydration, total parenteral nutrition, and replacement of special fluid loss.
    • Disadvantages include hospitalization, cost, infection, pyrogenic reaction, and discomfort.
    • Fluids classified according to their ability to cross capillary membrane and tonicity.
    • Common types of IV fluids include colloids, crystalloids, and blood and blood products.
    • Drip factor formula is total volume in ml x drip factor ÷ time in min = flow rate (drop/min).
