Acute perforation of ulcer

Introduction to acute perforation of ulcer disease Acute perforation of ulcer disease is one of the serious complications of ulcer disease. Among all ulcer patients, acute perforation accounts for about 10-15%. The majority of ulcer perforation is duodenal ulcer perforation, and the ratio of perforation of gastric ulcer is 15:1. The acute perforation of ulcer disease is acute and rapid, and if it is not treated in time, it may be life-threatening due to peritonitis. Perforation of ulcer disease is the result of active ulceration gradually eroding deep into the serosal membrane. As a result of acute perforation of ulcer disease, about 70% have a long history of ulcer disease, and the symptoms of ulcer disease are aggravated before perforation, about 10%. The patient does not have a history of ulcers, but a perforation occurs suddenly. Before perforation, there are often predators, irritating foods, emotional or excessive fatigue. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: peritonitis shock

2. Abdominal puncture to extract purulent fluid.

3. Referral.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of acute perforation of ulcer disease

In a few cases, it is also necessary to distinguish from the following diseases.

1. When acute appendicitis ulcer disease is perforated, the contents can flow along the ascending colonic sulcus to the right lower abdomen, causing pain in the right lower quadrant, which may be confused with appendicitis, but the general symptoms of acute appendicitis are not as severe as perforation of ulcer disease, and most of the onset is Metastatic right lower quadrant pain can be aggravated by paroxysmal, without shock symptoms and no pneumoperitoneum.

2. The similarity of acute pancreatitis is sudden onset of severe pain in the upper abdomen, accompanied by vomiting and peritonitis. However, acute pancreatitis is painful in the left upper abdomen and can be released to the waist. Early peritoneal irritation is generally not obvious. There is a history of high-fat meal, no pneumoperitoneum at the time of examination, elevated serum amylase, and more than 85% of patients with acute pancreatitis can be found to have enlarged pancreatic enlargement.

3. Acute gallbladder patients with acute gallbladder, generally have a history of biliary tract disease, the pain is mostly confined to the right upper abdomen, to the right shoulder and back, the right upper abdomen can touch the enlarged gallbladder, ultrasound examination can be found in the gallbladder or gallbladder With stones, general identification is not difficult.
