Diabetic foot attack
Diabetic foot is the reason for admission for 20% of patients with diabetes mellitus. The term "Diabetic Foot Attack" involves urgency: if the extremity receives no intervention, in a matter of hours, it can progress and become a threat for the lower limb, which may require amputation. Hence, this condition requires urgent on-call assessment, if possible, within 24 hours. Once established a diagnosis, referrals and their paths, clear protocols, and early intervention, 3 clinical presentations stand out. The diabetic foot attack is that which shows inflammation and tissue necrosis and progresses rapidly. It requires necrotic tissue debridement, drainage of collections in the affected anatomical compartments, samplings for cultures, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics followed by a rapid correction of ischemia when present. |
