Peritonitis 2

Peritonitis is a serious and serious complication that can occur with injuries to the abdominal cavity or diseases of its organs. It manifests itself in the form of acute inflammation, which is accompanied by infection and the formation of pus in the abdominal area.

The causes of peritonitis can be different, but the most common are the following: - abdominal surgery, such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy or others; - acute diseases of the abdominal organs, for example, acute pancreatitis, peritonitis of the acute abdomen or acute appendicitis; - abdominal injuries with damage to internal organs

**Peritonitis** is a serious and dangerous disease that can lead to death if not treated promptly. This is an infectious inflammation of the abdominal cavity, which occurs when infection spreads from damaged internal organs or the abdominal cavity. Peritonitis can occur as a result of injury, abdominal surgery, or other illnesses.

Acute peritonitis is an acute inflammatory purulent lesion of all layers of the abdominal cavity with subsequent involvement of the peritoneum in the inflammatory process. Typical pathogens of peritonitis are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, less common are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other microbes. The main role in the occurrence of purulent peritonitis is played by abdominal trauma. Diseases of the digestive tract and surgical operations play a significant role. Patients with massive blood loss often develop endotoxin shock, which can also cause peritonitis. In addition, such patients may develop hypovolemic shock due to large loss of fluid from the surgical wound.
