About this document
Comparison of Dry Vs Wet Gangrene-. Final by obadiahemmanuel53 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dry gangrene is caused by chronic ischemia, typically affecting distal limbs, with a gradual onset and minimal systemic effects, while wet gangrene results from acute ischemia and infection, affecting internal organs or limbs, with a rapid onset and severe systemic effects. Dry gangrene appears dry and shriveled, whereas wet gangrene is swollen and foul-smelling due to putrefaction. Prognosis for dry gangrene is better compared to wet gangrene, which is life-threatening and can lead to septic shock.
