Bari Alibasov suffered severe burns of the stomach and esophagus by accidentally drinking a pipe cleaner. What is dangerous chemical burns of the stomach, which stages stand out and what to do before the ambulance arrives, says Gazeta.Ru
According to Vladimir Levkin, a former member of the Na-Na group, Alibasov cleared the pipes at home, put glasses of juice and pipe cleaner nearby and sipped the product by mistake.
As Levkin told the Moscow news agency, Alibasova could be operated on.
“I don’t have any information about coma. I have the latest information about the serious condition and that I have to wait three days to decide what to cut or not to cut. For three days he will lie on painkillers before doing the operation and making any conclusions at all, ”said the executor.
Representatives of Alibasov said that doctors diagnosed a fourth degree esophageal burn, a second degree stomach burn, and a respiratory tract burn, threatening with severe poisoning and perforation.
Lawyer Sergey Zhorin in his twitter told about the will of Bari Alibasov. According to him, the document was compiled 7 years ago.
“7 years ago Alibasov wrote a will in which he indicated me,” wrote Zhorin.
Alibasov can cope with a burn in a month, but the consequences can affect much longer, said Viktor Shilov, head of the department of toxicology, extreme and diving medicine of the SSMU named after Mechnikov.
The fourth degree of burn, according to the expert, means penetration through almost all tissues of the organ and needs relatively long treatment. However, later on at the site of severe burns, scars are formed. “They can block the esophagus,” said Shilov, adding that such a situation would require an operation.
A burn of the esophagus is never detached, it is combined with a burn of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and in some cases of the bronchi and stomach. The most common cause of chemical burns of the esophagus are acids and alkalis. With an acid burn, the area of damage is large, but the burn is superficial. Acids cause more damage in the stomach than in the esophagus. Alkali, on the contrary, leads to a small area, but deep tissue damage. Both types are accompanied by severe pain.
As a result of the rapidly increasing inflammation, the victim has a copious salivation, frequent and painful vomiting. A burning pain in the mouth, in the throat, behind the sternum and in the epigastric region appears from the moment the caustic substance hits. It is aggravated by swallowing, coughing, and vomiting.
There are four degrees of chemical burns of the esophagus and stomach. When the first degree of burn injures the upper layer of the epithelium. The patient slightly reddens mucous, there are small painful sensations. Usually, with such a burn, medical care is not needed, and the burn symptoms pass through the pen for weeks.
In the second and third degree, the mucous membrane and the deeper layers of the muscle tissue of the esophagus are damaged. As a result of damage, ulcers form on the mucosal surface, edema appears, making it difficult to swallow. If timely medical care is provided to the victim, the burn will heal within a month without consequences for the body.
The fourth degree is the most severe type of burns of the esophagus and stomach, which affects the layers of these, as well as the adjacent internal organs.
The patient is in a state of shock, experiencing excruciating pain. With a successful outcome and timely assistance at the site of injury, scars will remain, and for complete healing may take a long time. Failure to provide timely medical care increases the likelihood of death.
With a high degree of burns of the esophagus, tissue breakdown products enter the bloodstream and cause intoxication of the body, negatively affecting the work of the heart, kidneys, liver and other organs. Intoxication, coupled with painful shock, can be fatal.
For any kind of chemical burn, you must call an ambulance. Neutralizing agents can be used as first aid - a soda solution in case of acid burns and a weak solution of vinegar or citric acid with alkali burns. Vomiting is contraindicated, since renewed vomiting contains a caustic substance that, in contact with the esophagus, can cause perforation if vomiting is too much.
