📋 Tender Overview
At the Nefteyugansk District Clinical Hospital named after V.I. Yatskiv, an emergency operation was performed on a child who had swallowed four neodymium magnets.The surgical intervention was performed by pediatric surgeon Nikita Rudash.
The child was taken to a medical facility with severe abdominal pain, high body temperature, severe lethargy and weakness.At the time of hospitalization, he had been ill for three days.
As doctors established, the child swallowed the first magnet with a diameter of up to 5 mm five days before hospitalization, and three more two days later.On the x-ray, experts found four magnets that were attracted to each other.
During the operation, doctors discovered that the magnets had already left the intestinal lumen into the abdominal cavity.As a result, four perforations were formed, which surgeons closed.
After the operation, the child spent two days in the intensive care unit under the supervision of specialists.After his condition stabilized, he was transferred to the surgical department for further treatment.The patients condition improved significantly and he was discharged on the 10th day after hospitalization.
Further recovery of the child will take place on an outpatient basis.He was prescribed therapy aimed, among other things, at preventing the formation of adhesions and correcting postoperative scar changes.
Experts note that small neodymium magnets pose a serious danger if swallowed.By being attracted to each other through the intestinal walls, they can damage tissue and lead to the formation of perforations.If you suspect that a magnet has been swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
Providing timely and specialized medical care to children is one of the important components of state policy in the field of protecting family and childhood health.In Ugra, this work continues within the framework of the national project Family, aimed, among other things, at creating conditions for preserving the health of children and supporting families.
