老年患者误吞泡罩包装药品:一例沟通障碍患者的病例报告

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a common problem among elderly patients and can pose a serious health risk, particularly for those with communication barriers, cognitive impairments, or obscure medical histories. This report presents the case of a 67-year-old female inpatient who had a language communication barrier and accidentally ingested a blister pack. Effective communication was facilitated through an interpreter, and prompt endoscopic intervention was conducted to remove the foreign body safely. The patient was discharged with no further symptoms during follow-up. This case highlights the importance of prompt evaluation and intervention for foreign body ingestion in elderly patients, particularly those with communication barriers.
