On July 27, Doctor CK2 Do Thi Ngoc Khanh - Deputy Head of the Department of Tropical Diseases, Cho Ray Hospital, said that as of today, the condition of the 2 patients treated at the department has improved well, test results are back to normal, and they have been discharged and returned for follow-up visits as scheduled.
Regarding the two patients in the Pulmonary Internal Medicine Department - Cho Ray Hospital, Doctor CK2 Dang Vu Thong, Head of the Pulmonary Internal Medicine Department, said that after bronchial lavage, the respiratory condition of the two patients gradually improved. Currently, their respiratory condition is relatively stable and they are continuing to be monitored and treated.
According to Dr. Ngoc Khanh, in the sewers, there may be gases such as sulfide and methane that cause poisoning. Through the case of sewer gas poisoning, Dr. Khanh recommends that people do not go down into the sewers or sewers themselves. If the work is related to sewers where there is a possibility of toxic gases, there must be a manager checking and instructing by technical experts, and there must be protective equipment for labor safety, minimizing the risk of poisoning.
