If the ruptured spleen is small and treated aggressively, the survival time is no different from normal; if the rupture is large and cannot be treated aggressively, and may result in hemorrhagic shock due to blood loss, the survival time is short and may result in death on the spot. Rupture of the spleen is usually caused by trauma, etc. The degree of injury varies from person to person, and the emphasis is on prompt treatment. If the ruptured spleen is mild and is treated effectively, it will not affect normal life expectancy. If the ruptured spleen is more severe and is not treated effectively, then normal life expectancy may be affected by hemorrhagic shock, and in severe cases, death may occur quickly. When a spleen rupture occurs, prompt medical attention is needed to promote remission with open heart surgery as well as blood transfusion therapy if necessary.
