Respuesta :
Peritonitis may result in shock because fluid shifts from the bloodstream into body tissues.
Peritonitis is usually contagious and can be fatal. It is caused by intestine leakage or a hole, such as a burst appendix. Inflammation can occur even if the fluid is sterile. Pain, tenderness, rigid abdominal muscles, fever, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms. Antibiotics, as well as surgery or drainage, are almost always required.
Peritonitis is always treated as an emergency by healthcare providers because it can become severe very quickly, especially if it is infectious. Septicemia is a type of infection that spreads to your bloodstream and causes your entire body to go into shock, shutting down vital organs (septic shock).
A common cause of this type of shock is a ruptured obstructed colon, which results in feces saturated with bacteria flooding the peritoneal cavity. As a result of the pre-existing obstruction, the patient is most likely already in negative fluid balance.
