When the doctors performed an X-ray of her torso, they were shocked to see what looked like a key in her esophagus.
They asked him questions about it and he admitted to having lost his keys to the house the night before, but could not explain how they ended up in his body.
According to the Chinese information website Sohu, he was as surprised as doctors when he saw the x-ray.
Staff at the Dongguan Hospital badyzed the situation and decided that it was too risky to let the keys pbad through Chang's digestive system and be eliminated naturally, as the hard object could tear his intestines or cause an obstruction intestinal tract that can be life threatening. At the same time, trying to remove it using endoscopic equipment could cause a rupture of his esophagus. The third option was emergency surgery.
Dr. Zhang Yuyu told reporters that they had first tried to remove the keys with the help of a gastroscope, but had encountered problems trying to remove the key through the narrowest part of Chang's esophagus, near the gorge. The key was too big and too strong could have torn the esophagus, which would have had "unimaginable consequences". They therefore abandoned the procedure and reconsidered their options. To make matters worse, most of the hospital staff was on vacation for a holiday, but thankfully an anesthetist and the deputy director of the hospital's gastroenterology department canceled their plans and came to help out. the emergency situation.
After the anesthesiologist administered a drug that relaxed his muscles, a gastroenterologist was able to remove the metal key and plastic access card from the man's esophagus.
How Chang finally swallowed his keys remains a mystery that will probably never be solved, because he remembers nothing of his evening filled with alcohol.
