In daily life, none of us can predict which one will come first, either of us will come first, tomorrow. Sometimes, maybe one second you were having a meal with your family happily, and the next second you were stuck in your throat with a fishbone. Don’t underestimate this small fish bone. If it is stuck, it is really a fatal risk.
Disappointed by fish bones are common
The tragedy of fish bones is always happening frequently. There was a 35-year-old Ms. Zhou (pseudonym), who had always felt pain in the sternum and back, so she came to the hospital for treatment. When doing gastroscopy, the doctor did not find any abnormalities. until gastroscopy, he found a fish bone deeply piercing into the esophageal wall of in the middle of the esophagus. According to the results of the imaging examination, the fish bone had pierced into Ms. Zhou's aorta. When the gastroenterologist was doing his best to take out the fish bone under the endoscopy, he did not expect the aorta to rupture and Ms. Zhou passed away.
Ms. Zhou was not the only one who died after ignoring this small fish bone. Not long ago, a middle-aged man in his 40s in Suzhou was stuck in his throat. The fish bone was stuck in his throat, causing severe edema. When sleeping at night, the laryngeal edema was too severe. The man suffocated in his sleep caused brain death from , and eventually died.
Regarding the tragedy caused by the fish bone stuck in the throat, many netizens left messages saying: "A junior high school classmate of mine had his throat stuck because of the fish bone. His father asked him to swallow steamed buns. Later, the fish bone pierced the aorta and finally passed away. It's a pity." "Don't try to drink vinegar when the fish bone stuck in the throat. The method of swallowing steamed buns will sometimes backfire." "It's so shocking. A small fish bone can kill people. It's really surprising." "I just want to know how it kills people after being stuck in the fish bone?"
How does fish bone kill people?
I believe many people like to eat fish very much. Whether it is cooking or boiling, fish bones cannot be avoided. The most troublesome thing about eating fish is picking fish bones. Once the fish bones are not picked cleanly and we accidentally eat them, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, how did the little fish bone kill people?
1,
, near the throat, If you want to understand the question of how fish bones kill people, we must first understand which parts of the body will usually be stuck in fish bones. The epiglottis, tonsils, and the root of the tongue are all extremely easy to get stuck by fishbones. Once is not removed in time, the fish bones penetrate deep into these parts, which can easily cause local infection and eventually form an abscess. If such an abscess compresses the trachea for a long time, it is very easy to cause suffocation and death.
In addition, such fishbones can easily penetrate the large blood vessels in the neck. Like the middle-aged man in Suzhou in the news case we mentioned earlier, he died of suffocation because fishbone stuck in his throat, causing edema, and finally suffocated. So, if a fishbone is stuck near our throat, it will also be a fatal risk.
2. Passing into the esophagus and running towards the aorta
People who study medicine should know that the esophageal tube and the aorta are almost stuck together. Especially in the middle part of the esophagus, the front of it is close to the heart, and the back of it is close to the aorta. If a fish bone penetrates the esophagus, it will run towards the aorta. If you are not lucky, you can easily pierce the aorta. What is the concept of fish bones piercing the aorta?
Let’s give an example. If a very bulging hydrogen balloon is gently pricked by a needle, you will hear a "bang" sound and the entire hydrogen balloon turns into pieces. The heavy bleeding caused by the puncture of the aorta is the same as this principle, because the blood flows continuously, and a person can die in a minute.
If the fish bone does not completely pierce the aorta, but pierces part of the aorta, at this time we need the doctor's professionalism to treat it in time. Once the fish bone is not removed in time, an infection will occur, and after an abscess is formed, there will also be a fatal risk.
3. Causes gastric perforation
For gastric perforation, if the disease of gastric perforation is not treated promptly and effectively, there is a risk of death. When thick and hard fish bones are swallowed into the stomach, they will be at certain risk. , especially those big and hard fish bones, cannot be completely digested by gastric acid. When the stomach is peristaltic, this hard fish bone will pierce the stomach wall , causing the risk of gastric perforation.
In addition, this fish bone will pierce into the stomach wall, then slowly pierce, flowing along the blood into the abdominal cavity or other places, causing damage to other organs and tissues, such as liver damage or spleen damage, and the fatal consequences will be unimaginable. Ms. Wang from Zhengzhou once suffered such troubles because the fish bones stuck in her lungs and suffered a cough for 12 years. After the doctor's detailed examination, the foreign object of the fish bone was removed to solve the problem of coughing.
4. Punching the small intestine
Mr. Sun from Guangdong inexplicably felt a stomachache after eating sauerkraut fish once. At the beginning, Mr. Sun didn't care, until after the abdominal pain was unbearable, Mr. Sun came to the local hospital for treatment. After colonoscopy, it was found that there was a obvious foreign body located in Mr. Sun's small intestine wall. The doctor highly suspected that the fish pierced penetrated the small intestine wall, causing peritonitis . Fortunately, the operation was timely and Mr. Sun turned the crisis into safety. It can be seen that fish bones pierce the small intestine, which is also very dangerous.
5, puncture of large intestine
If the risk coefficient of fish bones punctures the small intestine is very high, then the risk coefficient of puncture of the large intestine is also very high. Because many bacteria are grown in the human body's large intestine, once a fish bone pierces the large intestine, it is easy to cause diffuse peritonitis. This disease is very dangerous. Once rescue is not promptly done, you will die in minutes.
6, puncture appendix
When a fish bone punctures the appendix, it is extremely easy to cause inflammation. If it is not effectively treated, diffuse peritonitis will develop. At this time, appendix surgery is required. Although the appendix is not an important organ in our body, it is easy to be fatal once it becomes inflamed or infected.
What are the correct ways to deal with it after accidentally swallowing fish bones?
As the saying goes, it is best to prevent problems before they happen. In order to avoid swallowing fish bones into the abdomen, we should be careful when eating fish, try not to talk, or play with mobile phones, watch TV, etc. If fish bones are accidentally swallowed by us, we need to observe. If foreign objects are stuck and extremely uncomfortable and cannot cough out, we should go to the hospital for treatment. Don’t act on your own and drink vinegar blindly or swallow steamed buns, which is easy to backfire.
