摘要
body packer这个词指的是在一个人的身体里携带非法物品,目的是走私。据估计,2015年全球约有5%的成年人至少使用过一次非法药物。虽然大多数身体包装者没有症状,但由于肠梗阻等并发症,一小部分人需要手术干预。在本报告中,我们将介绍卡塔赫纳市一家医院急诊科收治的一例患有这种并发症的患者。
Body Packer: An Experience in a Reference Hospital
The term body packer refers to the carrying of illegals in the body of a person with the aim of contraband. It is estimated that around 5% of the world’s adult population used illicit drugs at least once in 2015. While most body packers are asymptomatic, a small percentage requires a surgical intervention due to complications such as intestinal obstruction. In the current report, we will present the case of a patient admitted with this complication to the emergency unit of a hospital in the city of Cartagena.
