Gastrointestinal gases become combustible when several gases reach a certain concentration. This occurs in situations where the gastrointestinal tract is obstructed for a certain amount of time. Hence, we present this case of a gastric explosion in a patient while performing a gastrojejunostomy. The reason underlying this combustion involved concomitant chronic pyloric stenosis. Operative procedures should include this information to enhance the safety of the patient and the surgical team.
当几种气体达到一定浓度时,胃肠道气体就会变得可燃。这种情况发生在胃肠道被阻塞一定时间的情形下。因此,我们在此呈现一例在进行胃空肠吻合术时患者胃爆炸的病例。此次燃烧的潜在原因是伴有慢性幽门狭窄。手术操作应包含这一信息,以提高患者和手术团队的安全性。
