Objective To find effective ways for controlling the hospital infection to the skeptical gas gangrene patients.
Method From May 14th to June 24th, the hospital set up triage spots originally and dealt with the wounded based on their specific conditions in different stages and optimized the flow of admission of the wounded.

If the wound have been stitched, the stitches should bee taken out, and open the wound and take the debridement for it completely, then treat it with b antibacterial after debridement by sterilization and isolation about operation of gas gangrene.
Result Up to June 24th, none of 67 cases of doubtful gas gangrene from the disaster area died and no hospital cross infections happened in courtyard. At present, amomg the 67 cases, 32 were highly suspected of gas gangrene infection, 26 cases were discharged, while 6 cases were undergoing treatment in the hospital.
