Currently, there are no generally accepted definitions for wounds at risk of infection. In clinical practice, too many chronic wounds are regarded as being at risk of infection, and therefore many topical antimicrobials – in terms of frequency and duration of use – are applied to wounds. Based on expert discussion and current knowledge, a clinical assessment score was developed. The objective of this wounds at risk (W.A.R.) score is to allow decision-making on the indication for the use of antiseptics on the basis of polihexanide. The proposed clinical classification of W.A.R. shall facilitate the decision for wound antisepsis and allow an appropriate general treatment regimen with the focus on the prevention of wound infection. The W.A.R. score is based on a clinically oriented risk assessment using concrete patient circumstances. The indication for the use of antiseptics results from the addition of differently weighted risk causes, for which points are assigned. Antimicrobial treatment is justified in the case of 3 or more points.

“…A study of injuries arising from the gases created by firearm “blank” cartridges suggests that at close range, the injuries to tissue from high‐speed gases are the same as those from projectiles striking tissue . Experimental measurement of a gunpowder “blank” cartridge firing its nitrocellulose charge through a 4‐mm‐diameter opening gave a gas energy density of 0.624 J/mm 2 at 0.3 cm (0.1 in.)…”

In this article, selected aspects of safety with compressed gas systems are discussed. Several accident case histories are described that illustrate the potential modes of injury from gas jets, pressure-driven missiles, and asphyxiants. Using high-pressure helium and nitrogen, estimates of safe exclusion distances to prevent skin injuries from gas leaks are calculated for differing pressures, temperatures, and breach sizes.
