Hoan My Binh Phuoc Hospital dramatically saved the life of a patient with a perforated chest.

(DNO) - The Emergency Department of Hoan My Binh Phuoc Hospital has just received patient HVD (43 years old, Dong Nai province) in critical condition with multiple injuries.

HVD patient is being monitored post-operatively at Hoan My Binh Phuoc Hospital after 2 surgeries.

The patient was admitted to the hospital in a state of drowsiness, slow contact, unmeasurable blood pressure, pale skin, pale mucous membranes, hemorrhagic shock, multiple penetrating chest wounds with complex wounds on the left arm. Paraclinical results showed that the patient had a penetrating chest wound, left lung puncture, massive bleeding in the pleural cavity along with crushed muscle wounds and severed veins in the left arm.

Recognizing this as a life-threatening critical case, the medical team promptly performed intensive resuscitation, consulted, and decided on emergency surgery. Immediately, the patient was assigned to undergo two parallel surgeries: Thoracic surgery to treat the wound that penetrated from the back to the front of the left chest cavity, causing a punctured lung, the pleural cavity containing many blood clots. Left arm surgery to treat the wound in the middle third of the left arm causing ruptured tendons and veins in the arm.

The two surgeries lasted more than 2 hours under the participation of Specialist Doctor 2 Thai Viet Hung, Head of Surgery Department, and a team of experienced staff of the Anesthesia and Resuscitation Department. Despite many difficulties due to the patient's severe blood loss, with smooth coordination and high determination, the surgery was successful.

The patient is now out of danger, in stable health and is being monitored post-operatively.

With a team of experienced and highly specialized doctors, along with thorough investment in equipment, Hoan My Binh Phuoc Hospital once again affirms its role in health care and saving lives in emergency situations.
