Last night at about 12:00, Mr. Fu, who lives in Jiangning, was sent to the emergency department of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital by his family in a taxi. It turned out that when Mr. Fu was eating dinner, he was talking to his family while eating, and as a result, he inadvertently swallowed a piece of chicken bone that was about 3 cm long and sharp at both ends like a spindle. At once, Mr. Fu felt pain in the lower part of the esophagus, and radiated to the back and neck, Mr. Fu, who is a medical professional himself, knew the situation was not good, and rushed his family to take a taxi to the local hospital. After CT examination, it was found that the bone was too big for the local hospital to take, so he was rushed to the emergency department of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital. Immediately, the emergency department doctors called the gastroenterology doctor on duty, through the use of gastroscopy, about an hour later, the cross-stemmed chicken bones in Mr. Fu’s esophagus was removed, but the esophagus has been poked by the sharp ends of the chicken bones, Mr. Fu also need further hospitalization. It is no coincidence that shortly after Mr. Fu came to the hospital, Ms. Li, who lives in Hexi, also accidentally swallowed a bent bullfrog bone because she was happy to talk with her family during the reunion. Ms. Li then also felt chest tightness and back pain, but “past experience” let her not immediately go to the hospital, but their own folk remedies, drinking vinegar, swallowing rice, jumping ground non-stop, the results did not help at all, and feel more and more pain, and then sent to the hospital by her family. After CT examination, Ms. Li swallowed two small bullfrog bones by mistake, one of the scimitar-shaped bones stuck the most powerful, also cross-stemmed in the esophagus, if a little later to the hospital, the esophagus is likely to be punctured. According to the report, since New Year’s Day, the gastroenterology department alone receives 4-5 patients who are stuck in the throat with foreign bodies such as fish spines, chicken bones and duck bones every day because of inattentive eating, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people and children. It is pointed out that foreign bodies in the throat and esophagus mostly occur when eating in a hurry or inattentiveness, and are commonly found in the upper and middle part of the esophagus, with fish spikes, chicken bones and duck bones as the common types of foreign bodies. The wall of esophagus is very thin, and once it is punctured without timely treatment, it is very likely to become septic and infected. In addition, foreign bodies sometimes continue to slide in the esophagus, and if they puncture the esophagus or even the aorta, they may end up killing themselves. If a foreign body gets stuck in your throat, you should rush to the hospital as soon as possible. If the foreign body is stuck at the entrance of the esophagus, such as the throat, it can be removed by otolaryngology. However, if the foreign body has entered the esophagus, a CT scan is needed to check the size and location of the foreign body, which will help the doctor to make a judgment. Most foreign bodies can be removed by gastroscopy, but some foreign bodies that are too deep, or poke through the esophageal wall to form abscesses or esophageal fistulas, must be treated by cardiothoracic surgery. Therefore, it is important not to ignore the common foreign body stuck in the throat. In the past, the number of patients with foreign bodies stuck in the throat during the Spring Festival holiday is also exponentially higher than usual, so he reminded that the general public must pay attention when eating, as little as possible to talk, and must chew slowly, the elderly with dentures, more attention. Finally, reminded that if the family dining throat suddenly choked by something, should observe whether choking, breath-holding, breathing discomfort, to determine whether there is a foreign body in the trachea. When this happens, he should first be encouraged to spit things out by himself. When a foreign body is estimated to be stuck in the esophagus, try not to let the patient drink vinegar, swallow large pieces of steamed buns, rice and other foods as well as bounce these methods, because this will not only not get rid of the foreign body, but make it poke deeper and less likely to be removed. In the case of emergency anesthesia surgery, as it is necessary to fast for 6 hours before the surgery, swallowing food in this way will delay the surgery. So the right thing to do is to rush to the regular hospital for medical attention.
