The liver is extremely vascular, meaning LOTS of blood flows thru it. If it gets ruptured you have about an hour I would guess. Your body does a lot to stop blood from leaving the body, but without surgery you're a goner. Other than the pain of the injury, its not a bad way to go. You lose blood and just go to sleep...and of course never wake up...which is a bummer.
Depends on the severity and placement on the stomach. It can take anywhere from as little as a few minutes to five hours.
In the case of a stab wound to the abdomen, first you wear a globe and explore the wound with a finger, the smaller the wound , the more suspicious I would be...this could be a deep, deep stab, maybe with an ice breaker. I will send it to routine X-Ray and Operation Room for an exploratory abdominal laparotomy and exploration to see if there is any internal organ wounded or if there is any hemorrhage, after we have review the content of the abdominal cavity and nothing is bleeding, or I don't see any wounds . I will take blood smears and cultures of the abdominal fluid. Lets close the incision. I will leave a temporary drainage through the wound stab (Penrose made of latex-like material) and wait to see what kind of material is coming out. Patient goes to ICU for post-op follow up.
how long the sweelng in the lower lims will continue after the trauma of a strong flesh wound has been suffered
Well currently I have been recovering from a stab wound in my thigh, the doctors have told me a superficial nerve has been cut but it should heal alright. I have been out of action for about 3 weeks and I have a week left so ive been told..... the wound penetrated 2 inches into my thigh and had to be packed with some sort of tissue so if i had to roughly give a guess id say 4 to 5 weeks to heal maybe longer i dont know yet il inform you when ive fully healed.
I'll take a stab at it.
Abdominal wound and bowel can be seen in the wound. what action would you take?
Depending on the depth and width, it could take up to three months.
It means to give it a try, to take a guess, to make an attempt. Example; Can you help me with my algebra homework? Sure, I'll take a stab at it.
It means to try.
A maggot infestation can occur in a wound within hours to a few days, depending on the size and depth of the wound, as well as environmental conditions such as warmth and moisture. Maggots are attracted to decaying tissue and can quickly colonize open wounds if proper wound care is not maintained.
If the wound is not deep and not penetrated to damage the internal organs, it should heal in about 3 weeks
If it's a simple wound, it would take about two weeks. It infection is involved, or if nerves and blood vessels require repair, it could take quite a bit longer.
