Sword Stuck in Mans Chest
The man suffered from dementia, schizophrenia, diabetes and hypertension. His relatives found him in a deep coma with a Japanese sword sticking out of his chest. Amazingly, he survived, recovered and was transferred to a psychiatric ward. |

Re: Sword Stuck in Mans Chest
91-year-old male stabbed his chest and abdomen and cut his head with a katana. Emergency thoracotomy was performed in the operating room and the patient temporally exhibited pulseless electrical activity due to massive hemorrhage, and fluid resuscitation resulted in spontaneous circulation. Injuries of the lingual, left pulmonary artery, and diaphragm were found, and primary closure of the pulmonary artery with clamping of the pulmonary hilum, primary closure of the diaphragm, and lobectomy of the lingual region were performed. The abdominal stab wound did not reach the intra-abdominal cavity and was also closed. After the operation, the patient developed pyothorax and was treated with antibiotics. He achieved a full somatic recovery and was transferred to a psychiatric hospital. The patient was successfully treated, despite his advanced age and severe shock state. Amazing the old trooper survived. |
