Doctors remove 40 knives from man’s stomach

-
A man in India spent two months swallowing knives and had 40 of them surgically removed from his stomach, according to the doctor who led the operation. “He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening,” Dr. Jatinder Malhotra told  CNN.  “We were so nervous… a small mistake could have taken the patient’s life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it,” he added. Malhotra said it took his team about two days to form a diagnosis and surgery plan and the operation lasted for five hours. He revealed that they found foldable knives, which when fully extended were about seven inches long. “The patient told us that he swallowed some knives folded and some unfolded. When we took out the knives, some were found folded, some were open, and some had even started rusting and were broken,” the doctor said. The patient, a 42-year-old father of two, told  CNN  h...

1. Diarrhea → Ringer’s Lactate (RL) Rationale:   🔴Diarrhea leads to loss of both water and electrolytes, especially bicarbonate, causing metabolic acidosis.   🔴RL contains lactate, which is converted to bicarbonate in the liver, helping correct the acidosis.   🔴RL also closely resembles extracellular fluid, making it ideal for volume replacement. 2. Vomiting → Normal Saline (NS) Rationale:   🔵Vomiting causes loss of hydrogen ions (HCl) from the stomach, leading to metabolic alkalosis.   🔵NS (0.9% NaCl) helps restore chloride and sodium, which helps the kidneys excrete bicarbonate, correcting the alkalosis. 3. Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) → Albumin Rationale:   🟡HRS is a functional renal failure in advanced liver disease.   🟡Albumin, a colloid, expands plasma volume and helps improve renal perfusion by increasing oncotic pressure, especially when combined with vasoconstrictors. 4. Sepsis → Crystalloids...
