When Dak Glong District General Hospital transferred the patient to Dak Nong Provincial General Hospital, he was in a bad condition, in shock, blood pressure could not be measured, severe chest pain, and continuous and increasing difficulty breathing.

After examination, ultrasound and X-ray, the medical team of Dak Nong Provincial General Hospital determined that the patient had a metal foreign object deeply embedded in the left chest wall, causing a large amount of pericardial effusion.

During the thoracotomy to remove the foreign object, the patient was transfused with 1,000 ml of blood from the hospital's blood reserve.

After 2 days of timely emergency care, the patient is now awake, vital signs are stable, no pain or difficulty breathing, and eating well.
