After about 7 hours of treatment in various departments of Huaxi Hospital, a man was reinforced by electric shock from his crotch and sent to ICU, with stable vital signs.
Speaking of the operation performed on the night of September 18, Ma Linzhi, the attending physician of the thoracic surgery department of Huaxi Hospital, lamented that the injured person was lucky in misfortune: after the steel bar entered the body, it perfectly avoided the important organs and did not cause massive bleeding. "If the steel bar leans left and right, that person's life may be gone." The doctor lamented: even if you do it deliberately, it is difficult to do this path of steel bars.
On the afternoon of September 18, a 37-year-old man was taken to the emergency department of the hospital. It is said that the man got an electric shock at the construction site, and then sat on the threaded steel bar about 1.2 meters when he fell. The steel bar is obliquely inserted into the anus from a position about 1 cm away, and stops when it reaches the right shoulder.
"When the injured arrived, their vital signs were stable and conscious, but they may have been frightened." Marin told reporters that after enhanced CT of the injured, it was found that there was no obvious bleeding in the man's chest and abdominal cavity. "There is no obvious damage to the blood vessels in the whole circulatory system."
Doctors of thoracic surgery, general surgery and urology in the hospital contacted the consultation urgently and opened the man's chest and abdomen. After the steel bar enters the human body, it passes through the gap between the bladder and rectum. Marin said that under normal circumstances, the bladder and rectum are connected. "The steel bar drills a gap from here, which is very difficult for people to do."
Then, the steel bar passes through the peritoneum, walks between the celiac artery and the celiac vein, and scrapes the pancreatic head upwards. "There are great blood vessels in the lower limbs and abdomen on the retroperitoneum. If it is punctured to form bleeding, the injured person will be very dangerous. " Marin introduced that, on the other hand, the pancreatic head was not penetrated. "Otherwise, the operation will involve the duodenum and biliary tract, which will be very troublesome."
Continue upward, the steel bar penetrates into the left lateral lobe from the back of the liver. "The damage of the left lateral lobe, just cut it off." Marin once again lamented the luck of the injured: if it is penetrating the right lobe, it may be difficult for a person to persist for too long. "The right lobe is rich in blood vessels."
Unfortunately, the man's luck continued, and the steel bar passed through the diaphragm, from the right pericardium to the surface of the superior vein, and penetrated the right upper lobe of the lung. "Under normal circumstances, the pericardium and lungs are connected together, and the steel bar is equivalent to drilling a gap from the middle." Another doctor said. The reporter learned that after the upper lobe of the injured right lung was punctured, there was no obvious air leakage and bleeding, only a small amount of pneumothorax. "If the steel bar is slightly crooked, it will penetrate the heart or puncture the blood vessels in the lungs, and the injured person will not last long."
The reinforcement finally stopped from below the first intercostal space and did not penetrate the skin. "It is also very dangerous to come out of the chest cavity between the first ribs, because it will hurt the subclavian artery and subclavian vein." After the man's chest and abdomen were opened, the doctor removed the damaged parts of his lungs and liver and repaired the broken small intestine. Under the close attention of multidisciplinary doctors, this steel bar with a diameter of nearly 1 cm and a length of about 1.2 m was pulled out soon.
After the treatment, the man was sent to the ICU ward. It is understood that men's vital signs are stable at present. "During the operation, the injured person lost 500 ml of blood." Ma Lin introduced that this is more than a blood donation (400 ml) 100 ml, with little impact.
Marin said that on the way through the man's body, "if the blood vessels are poked anywhere, it is difficult to survive."
