Diagnosis and treatment of these cases in emergency departments may be difficult. The effective use of radiological imaging techniques can accelerate and facilitate this process. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old male patient, who underwent computed tomography (CT) with the suspicion of a foreign body in the rectum, was admitted to the emergency outpatient clinic. The patient was a male with a psychiatric illness who later underwent emergency surgery. Since the patient had impaired consciousness during the examination, anamnesis could not be obtained, so the initial impression upon surgical consultation was perforation due to rectal tumoral thickening. In almost all cases, plain radiography is sufficient and can eliminate diagnostic difficulties. However, this is not possible for non-opaque objects. Therefore, the CT scan played an important role in the diagnosis of this patient. A 30 cm foreign body, identified as salami, was removed from the abdomen of the patient, who was later taken for emergency surgery.

  • Bruises- Wounds
    Henry Shih OD, MD Medical Director Austin Emergency Center- Anderson Mill 13435 US Highway 183 North Suite 311 Austin, TX 78750 512-614-1200 BRUISES- http://austiner.com/ What are bruises? — Bruises happen when blood vessels under the skin break, but the skin isn’t cut. Blood leaks into the tissues under the skin. Bruises start off red in color, and then turn blue or purple. As they heal, bruises can turn green and yellow. Most bruises heal in 1 to 2 weeks, but some take longer. How are bruises treated? — A bruise will get better on its own. But to feel better and help your bruise heal, you can: o Put a cold gel pack, bag of ice, or bag of frozen vegetables on the injured area every 1 to 2 hours, for 15 minutes each time. Put a thin towel between the ice (or other cold object) and your skin. Use the ice (or other cold object) for at least 6 hours after your injury. Some people find it helpful to ice longer, even up to 2 days after their injury. o Raise the area, if possible – Raising the area above the level of your heart helps to reduce swelling. o Take medicine to reduce the pain and swelling – To treat pain, you can take Tylenol. To treat pain and swelling, you can take ibuprofen (sample brand names: Advil, Motrin). But people who have certain conditions or take certain medicines should not take ibuprofen. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or nurse if you can take ibuprofen.

The involuntarily or accidentally, and complicated cases with the retained foreign body may come to the emergency services, which may require rapid and adequate imaging assessment. Materials and methods: We share our experience with six different cases with retained foreign bodies, who visited emergency radiological services with acute presentation of symptoms. The choice of radiological investigation considered based on the clinical presentation of the subjects with a retained foreign body. Conclusion: Patients with the retained foreign body may present acute symptoms to the emergency medical or surgical services, radiologists play a central role in rapid imaging evaluation. Radiological investigation plays a crucial role in identification, localization, characterization, and reporting the complication of the retained foreign bodies, and in many scenarios, radiological investigations may expose the unsuspected or concealed foreign bodies in the human body. Ultimately radiological services are useful rapid assessment tools that aid in triage and guide in the medical or surgical management of patients with a retained foreign body.

ABSTRACT Colorectal foreign bodies are infrequently encounteredand present a dilemma for management. The diagnosis may be confirmedby plain abdominal radiographs and rectal examination, butabdominal computerized tomography with 3-D reconstruction can be decisive in thefurther management and must be advised without reconsideration. Transanal removal is only possible for very low-lying objects, while patients with high-lying foreign bodiesusually require anoperative intervention. An early decision of laparotomy should only be madeafter subjecting the patient to suitable investigations to determineexactly the localization of the object, in order toavoid any inadvertent damage to the adjoining vasculatureas well as anal incontinence. We report the case of a youngadult male who presented in the emergency department with a Hand Held Bidet Shower inserted per rectum. Transanal removal was unsuccessful and Emergent laparotomy with colotomy and primary repair was necessary for safe removal of the same.

  • Complications of Colonoscopy
    Chapter 10 Complications of Colonoscopy Muhammed Sherid, Salih Samo and Samian Sulaiman Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53202 1. Introduction Colonoscopy is a common procedure in medical practice for a variety of gastrointestinal in‐ dications. It is widely used in the United Stated, especially since 2001, when Medicare ex‐ panded its coverage for screening for colorectal cancer to include colonoscopy. An estimated 14.2 million colonoscopies were performed in 2002 in the United States, with screening indi‐ cations representing half of cases [1]. Although generally considered a safe procedure, com‐ plications of colonoscopy as an invasive procedure should be noted. Complications vary from minor symptoms such as minor abdominal discomfort to more serious complications such as colonic perforation, cardiopulmonary arrest, or even death (Table). Although most studies have focused on serious complications, the less serious complications are important because they are more frequent than reported and may have an impact on willingness of pa‐ tients and their peers to undergo future colonoscopy. Colonoscopy complications are cate‐ gorized as immediate; occurring during the procedure or before discharge from endoscopy unit, or delayed; occurring within 30 days of the procedure. We will present in this chapter these potential complications in detail. 2. Complications of colonoscopy 2.1. Death Death has been reported as a complication of colonoscopy in 30 days from the procedure. Its rate varies between studies from 0 to 83.3 per 10,000 colonoscopies [2-15]. In 3 studies with a total of 16,747 patients of mean age 59 years, there was no single death within 30 days of colonoscopy [6-8].
