Ukrainian doctors report cases of gas gangrene, a severe infection related to the conditions of modern trench warfare. This disease rapidly destroys muscle tissue and is becoming more common due to the complicated evacuation of the wounded because of the use of drones at the front.
What is gas gangrene? Gas gangrene is caused by bacteria of the genus Clostridium and leads to the formation of gas bubbles under the skin. This disease develops from deep traumatic injuries and can lead to death if timely assistance is not provided.
Treatment for gas gangrene is complex and includes surgical interventions, removal of infected tissues, and the use of antibiotics. Ukrainian doctors have limited access to hospitals, complicating the treatment of this disease on the front.
