Abstract

Early dumping syndrome characterized by palpitation, dizziness, cold sweat, feebleness, and abdominal symptoms, occurs within 30 minutes after meals in patients who have undergone gastrectomy. This case report describes the case of a patient who presented with severe distributive shock due to early dumping syndrome; he recovered within a few hours after massive fluid infusion and vasopressor administration. Our patient was a 68-year-old Japanese man who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer and was diagnosed as having late dumping syndrome. On admission, he developed severe shock and was treated with massive fluid administration. Based on the history of the present illness, past medical history, normal findings of blood chemistry test, transient course, and Sigtad score, which helps diagnose dumping syndrome, early dumping syndrome was considered the cause of severe distributive shock. Early dumping syndrome can cause severe shock requiring massive fluid infusion and vasopressor administration. It should be considered a cause of severe distributive shock in patients who have undergone gastrectomy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 September 2018.
All research outputs
#17,990,045
of 23,103,436 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#1,934
of 3,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,313
of 337,955 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#60
of 98 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,967 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,955 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 98 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
