8 Fresh Water Aeromonas
9 Aeromonas Causes cellulitis, abscesses, and necrotizing infections Often ß-lactam resistant People with liver disease, cancer more susceptible
10 Aeromonas Fluroquinolones 3 rd Generation Cephalosporins Bactrim and Tetracyclines may be effective, but resistance is showing up.
11 Mycobacterium marinum Papules Eblows Knees Dorsum hands/feet Ulcerate and scar
12 Salt Water
13 Vibrio vulnificus Salt Water
14 Erysipelothrix sp.
15 Erysipelothrix Common in fishermen and seafood workers who suffer minor trauma while handling contaminated shrimp, crab, or fish.
16 Water injury treatment Wound Care Copious Irrigation OR Washout
17 Water injury treatment Hospitalize Liver failure Cancer Immunosuppression Clinical signs of systemic infection
18 Water injury treatment Empiric Treatment 1st Generation cephalosporin OR Clinda PLUS Levofloxacin PLUS Flagyl OR Doxy
19 Bite Wounds
20 The Animals Cats People Dogs and other mammals
21 Cat bites
22 Cat Bites 89% are provoked More common in females and adults In addition to usual suspects Bartonella henselae (cat scratch fever) Long skinny teeth allow inoculation of germs into deeper tissue, including periosteum

26 Fight Bites
27 Fight Bites Includes self-inflicted bites in nail biters, thumb sucker, and mentally ill Includes skin flora and mouth flora
28 Dogs and other Mammals More often non-provoked More common in males and children May cause more mechanical trauma Broken bones Penetrating skull trauma
29 Workup of Bites No cultures if no infection If infection Wound cultures Aerobic and anaerobic Blood cultures Aerobic and anaerobic
30 Workup of Bites X-ray Deep wounds warrant evaluation Bone injury Joint injury Foreign body
31 Workup of Bites Ultrasound Abscess Foreign body Bone injury
32 Workup of Bites CT Dog bites to the head can penetrate the skull
33 Treatment ABCs of trauma Direct Pressure to bleeding wounds Neurovascular assessment of affected area
34 Treatment Wound care Meticulous wound care for abrasions/lacerations
35 Treatment Deep punctures Trim superficial devitalized tissue Remove foreign bodies or gross contamination Superficial irrigation, avoiding high pressure irrigation Avoid removal of deep tissue (coring)
36 Primary Closure Treatment Do not close:» Crush injuries» Puncture wounds» Bites to the hands or feet» Wounds more than 12 hours old» Cat or human bites, except to the face» Bite wounds on compromised persons» Immunocompromised» Splenectomy» Venous stasis» DM
37 Treatment Delayed Closure Cleans wound on day 1 Debride wound on day 1 Close wound after 72 hours
38 Prophylaxis Antibiotics Tetanus Rabies Viral
39 Prophylaxis Antibiotics» Deep puncture wounds» Significant wounds with crush injury» Compromised vascular or lymphatic structures» Wounds in hands, genitalia, face, or in close proximity to bone or joint» Wounds requiring closure» Bite wounds on compromised persons» Immunocompromised» Splenectomy» Venous stasis» DM
40 Prophylaxis Tetanus Vaccine for anyone with broken skin not up to date Immune globulin for those who have never been vaccinated
41 Prophylaxis Rabies Complex decision making based upon the type of animal. See guidance at:
42 Prophylaxis Viral HBig and Hep B vaccine if the biter is positive and victim not immune Transmission of HIV and Hep C is considered very low risk
43 Treatment of Infected Bites Remove sutures Gram stain, aerobic and anaerobic culture of drainage Blood cultures Consult surgeon for significant infection I&D abscesses Empiric antibiotics based on organisms as described earlier
44 And Don t Forget PTSD Especially for children
