サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, we delve into **acute cholecystitis**, a common inflammatory condition affecting the gallbladder, and its impact on **critical care** patients. We’ll explain what causes this condition, the role of gallstones in triggering inflammation, and how patients without gallstones can still develop **acalculous cholecystitis**, which is often seen in critically ill patients. We'll discuss the symptoms, risk factors, and why early diagnosis is key to preventing complications. You'll learn about the primary treatment approach—**early laparoscopic surgery**—and why it’s the preferred option. For patients at high risk for surgery, we'll explore alternative treatments like **percutaneous cholecystostomy**, a less invasive procedure to manage the condition. Whether you're interested in learning about gallbladder issues or want to understand the options for treating this condition in **intensive care** settings, this episode provides a clear and accessible overview. Tune in as we explore how timely care can lead to better outcomes for those dealing with acute cholecystitis.
