Stomach perforation intensive care unit usually stays for a few days

Patients with gastric perforation generally need to stay in the intensive care unit for 3-7 days.

If the gastric perforation area is small, the amount of bleeding is small, the discovery is timely, and there is no large-area damage to the stomach tissue, the condition is relatively mild, and the time required to stay in the intensive care unit is relatively short, usually about 3 days. If the gastric perforation area is large, the bleeding amount is large, and it is discovered late, leading to large-area necrosis of stomach tissue, and also causing complications such as enteroparalysis, bacterial peritonitis, acute diffuse peritonitis, etc., the condition is more serious at this time, usually requiring about 7 days in intensive care unit.
