Psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and polysusbstance abuse are risk factors for foreign body ingestion. A foreign body can include sharp objects that lead to serious complications. In this case report, we present a patient with a history of psychosis who ingested a pulse oximeter in a suicidal attempt. The pulse oximeter passed uneventfully with no interventions needed, and was followed by a serial of abdominal imaging.
精神分裂症、双相情感障碍、重度抑郁症和多种物质滥用等精神病性状况是异物吞食的危险因素。异物可能包括导致严重并发症的尖锐物体。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名有精神病病史的患者，其在自杀未遂时吞食了一个脉搏血氧仪。脉搏血氧仪顺利通过，无需干预，随后进行了一系列腹部影像学检查。
