if your appendix burst how
much time do you have to get to the hospital before you could die
I burst mine when i was like 5, 8 years ago and they didn't know that it was
burst and it was burst for about 5 days beofre they found out and then if i
didnt get the surgery i wouldve died so just go as fast as you can to the ER
maybe i can help... My burst inside of me when i was 12. I went to a dr twice
when it was inflamed she told me it was my glands. A week later i seen another
dr and he said its my appendix and called an ambulance. i went into surgery
straight away but there was nothing left the surgeon hadnt seen anything like
it. The estimated it being burst for aprox. 72hrs so 3 days. They didnt think i
was gonna make it they stuck draining tubes in me and hoped for the best. Im now
22 so 10 years later im still alive but i have to have ops every 3 years because
of adheasions from the mess it made. So to answer you question it is possible to
live but everyone is different and everybodys body will react different there is
on set time. I was one of the lucky ones. If you think its about to burst go
straight to a hospital dont sit around
This depends on the individual's size, age and current health status. A ruptured
appendix will relieve immediate pain but the peritonitis that follows takes time
to develop. It can, in some cases, take several weeks for the infection to reach
a stage at which it becomes bothersome. But, again, there's no hard and fast
timeline. However, peritonitis is a surgical emergency and you would have
exquisite pain and abdominal rigidity. You would not be able to tolerate it and
so would get yourself to an ER right away. Complications develop rapidly.
Consequences of untreated peritonitis are shock and death.
If what you were hoping for was "Oh, well, you'd have about 3 hours" you're not
going to get an answer like that.
This is a difficult question to answer, but a ruptured appendix is a true
emergency. Once it ruptures a pt can become septic very quickly and it depends
on how well they can fight the sepsis
Not very long. You would have to go immediately.
GO FAST!
