What is the cause of acute gastric dilatation

Acute gastric dilatation cannot be ignored, because if this problem is not solved promptly and effectively, it will have a great impact on health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause and treat and solve it in time. At the same time, you must develop good eating habits and avoid overeating.

1. Abdominal and pelvic surgery and vagotomy

It can directly stimulate the somatic or visceral nerves, causing gastric autonomic dysfunction and reflex inhibition of the gastric wall, resulting in relaxation of the gastric smooth muscle and further gastric dilatation. In case of upper abdominal contusion or severe combined injury, the occurrence of acute gastric dilatation is related to the strong stimulation of the celiac plexus. During anesthesia, endotracheal intubation, postoperative oxygen administration and nasogastric tube feeding can also produce a large amount of gas entering the stomach, causing gastric dilatation.

2. Disease status

The following diseases may cause this disease: gastric torsion, incarcerated hiatal hernia, duodenal obstruction, etc.; spinal deformity, annular pancreas, pancreatic cancer, etc. compressing the gastric output tract; plaster grommet syndrome caused by plaster grommet on the body; emotional tension, severe pain, depression, etc. causing autonomic dysfunction, resulting in decreased gastric tone or delayed emptying; the use of anticholeretic drugs, central nervous system damage, uremia, etc. can all affect gastric tone and gastric emptying.

3. Overeating

It can also cause acute gastric dilatation.
