DRY ICE FREEZING AS A PRELUDE TO SURGICAL AMPUTATION

Orthopedics, 1982
ABSTRACT: Emergency amputation in the critically ill is associated with 17 to 25% mortality, and a high rate of postoperative infection. Mortality arid morbidity can be reduced by freezing the diseased tissues with dry ice, and deferring surgery until the patient is rendered stable, and metabolically able to heal.
