Overview
Surgery
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for necrotizing fasciitis.
- Immediate surgical referral remains the only method of reducing mortality and morbidity in necrotizing fasciitis patients.[1][2]
- As the patient is cardiovascularly unstable, immediate resuscitation with intravenous fluids, colloids and inotropic agents are usually necessary.[3]
- Effects of analgesia can be measured by documenting pain score regularly.
- Stop the NSAID's on admission of patients.
