Mr. Wang, 46, was diagnosed with appendicitis and intestinal obstruction due to stomach pain, and was found to have had an “intestinal stroke” at Nanjing Military General Hospital after being transferred to several hospitals. Because he was sent here too late, he was forced to have his intestines amputated for two meters, but he was lucky to get his life back. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. One morning in July this year, Mr. Wang, who was driving a cab, went out early in the morning and felt a vague pain in his abdomen, and started vomiting soon after. He rushed to the nearby hospital and the doctor suspected that the food was unclean resulting in gastroenteritis. After hanging water, Master Wang thought it was okay to go home, but unexpectedly abdominal pain again in the middle of the night. Master Wang still did not care, in the following days, he Chinese medicine, Western medicine to eat in exchange, but the symptoms are getting heavier and heavier, and has been dragging until he could not hold on. “I let my brother-in-law drive my cab all the way to the General Hospital of the Nanjing Military Region,” recalled Master Wang, the pain was too much to bear, sweat dripping from his hair, “the intestines are like ripped out.” The general surgery department of the General Hospital of the Military Region, Dr. Ding Weiwei, found after examination that Master Wang’s symptoms were not like gastroenteritis or appendicitis, and highly suspected “acute mesenteric ischemia”, also known as “intestinal stroke”. The results of the abdominal CT examination confirmed the experts’ suspicions, but because of the late delivery, part of the intestine was blocked by blood clots, intestinal ischemia for too long, has been partially necrosis, can only do intestinal amputation surgery. Surgery a total of about two meters of intestine amputation, filled a pot or two, close to half of a normal person. The good thing is that the intestines of normal people are 4-6 meters long, and being cut off 50% will not affect the quality of life. Abdominal pain is not trivial, abdominal CT is the gold standard for diagnosis “Like Master Wang, there are six or seven patients in our ward.” Wu Sex Jiang, chief physician of general surgery at Nanjing Military Region General Hospital, introduced that intestinal stroke is actually the common name for acute ischemic enteropathy. The embolus on the wall of the blood vessel falls, if the blocked thrombus runs to the brain, it will occur cerebral thrombosis also known as stroke. If the embolus runs into the intestinal vessels and gets stuck there, then intestinal stroke occurs. However, because of the insidious onset of this disease, early symptoms are mainly manifested as stomach pain, often easily confused with gastroenteritis, appendicitis, intestinal obstruction and even pancreatitis, which is easily misdiagnosed. As with other strokes, the treatment of intestinal strokes is valuable in the word “early”, clinically there is a “6 hours golden time”, more than 6 hours, the intestine will easily necrosis. Therefore, experts remind, once the abdominal pain, doctors can not clearly diagnose, pain can not be relieved, we should be highly suspicious of intestinal stroke. The way to confirm the diagnosis is also very simple, is to do an abdominal CT angiography examination can be. The “intestinal stroke” has entered the season of high incidence, Wu sex Jiang introduced, suffering from high blood pressure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar of the three high people, especially the middle-aged and elderly, is the “intestinal stroke The most popular target of “intestinal stroke”. In addition, long-term use of birth control pills for women, patients with deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs, patients with long-term fasting after spleen removal are also high-risk groups. It is reported that previously, “intestinal stroke” used to be more common in foreign countries, with an incidence rate of 20/100,000, and in the past two decades, this disease has gradually increased in China due to the influence of dietary habits such as large fish and meat. In the past, when encountering this disease, generally everything will be done, cut off three quarters of the intestine, although the patient’s life was saved, but the remaining intestine in the body is too short to support the body’s digestion and absorption, the quality of life will be significantly reduced. Wu sex Jiang told reporters that, at present, academician Li Jieshou led the creation of the first intestinal stroke green channel in China, through the “ladder treatment model” to help many patients end the pain. For patients with early intestinal stroke, minimally invasive treatment can avoid surgical trauma. For acute intestinal stroke patients, if intestinal necrosis occurs after more than 6 hours of prime treatment, surgical removal is required. “We came up with the concept of ‘damage control’, which in a simple phrase is: save life first, treat the disease later.” Lai Jieshou introduced, the patient came, they will be the first time vital signs maintenance, “first find a way to get the patient’s blood vessels, so that the patient retains more intestines, to ensure the quality of life thereafter.” It is understood that the General Hospital of the Military Region has treated 106 patients with intestinal strokes by applying the “stepwise treatment model”.
