Cover news reporter Lai Fangjie photo report
Drinking soup while talking caused a 3.5 cm long chicken bone to mistakenly enter the esophagus, almost causing a catastrophe.
On November 13, the cover news learned from dujiangyan People's Hospital that the gastroenterology department of the hospital recently treated a patient with chest pain caused by foreign bodies in the esophagus.
"The patient said that he was stuck by the chicken bone, and at first the doctor thought it was a chicken bone fragment, but after examination, it was found that the upper part of the patient's esophagus was stuck with a thick and pointed chicken bone."
Qiu Changwei, director of the Department of Gastroenterology of Dujiangyan People's Hospital, introduced that the patient was 49 years old, and when he came to the hospital, he was very painful, with sore throat and chest pain, and the CT examination found that there was a very large foreign body in the esophagus, and it was judged that this was the chicken bone that was accidentally swallowed by drinking chicken soup.
Qiu Changwei said that at that time, the entire esophageal cavity of the patient was occupied by this foreign body and was very tightly blocked. Considering that the esophageal muscles are relatively thick, and the upper section itself is relatively narrow and difficult to release, it is difficult to release, so a painless gastroscope is used, and the foreign body is pushed to the gastric cavity first, and then the foreign body is smoothly removed from the esophagus with the withdrawal sleeve and the trap. The entire procedure took only 25 minutes. After the foreign body was removed, the doctor found that it was a chicken bone about 3.5 cm long. Patients recall that it may be that drinking soup while talking at that time led to the accidental swallowing of chicken bones.
Qiu Changwei said that such a large volume of esophageal foreign bodies, if close to or injure the large blood vessels around the esophagus, the risk will be higher, it may cause esophageal perforation, mediastinal infection, esophageal mediastinal fistula, esophageal organ fistula, etc., if necessary, the need to use traditional surgical treatment, so you should go to the hospital in time.
It is understood that the gastroenterologist of Dujiangyan People's Hospital has also encountered cases of accidental swallowing of embroidery needles, fish spines, jujube nuclei, dentures, and can lids in clinical work. Doctors also especially remind everyone that when eating fish with thorns or foods with bones and nuclei, you must chew slowly and pay attention to prevention. Once a foreign body of the esophagus occurs, it should be consulted in time, and the sooner the foreign body is removed, the faster it will recover.
