So how is it?
If, for example, someone gets a knife stabbed in the stomach like in the movies, I'm interested in knowing if organs are damaged, for example if the knife goes into the intestine. Can something be done, such as surgery, or is there nothing more that can be done.
Intestinal injuries can already be operated.
When assessing the chance of survival, two things are important. On the one hand, whether the knife has been pulled out again or is still in the wound and on the other hand how quickly you get help. In addition, there are many bacteria in the intestine that should not enter the abdominal cavity. This increases the likelihood that even after a successful operation, a potentially fatal infection still occurs.
You can survive this, but only if the help comes fast and the knife is still as close as possible.
Hi.
depends on whether and what has been hurt. If the intestine has been perforated as in your example, it is possible to save you in an NotOP, here the risk of infection by intestinal contents would be very high.
If other parts of your body are hit, however, it can also become dangerous within a few minutes.
