Girl's heart and breathing stopped due to automatic rolling door accident

A girl in Phan Thiet City (Binh Thuan Province) fell into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing after being swept away by an automatic rolling door while the device was operating.

According to initial information, while the rolling door was moving, a girl named M. (7 years old) was hanging on to the door and was unfortunately pulled up. When her family discovered her, she was in a critical condition.

Immediately afterwards, the family took baby M. to An Phuoc General Hospital - Phan Thiet for emergency treatment. There, the patient was resuscitated, intubated and urgently transferred to Children's Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh City at 2:00 a.m. on May 24.

Baby M. had an accident while hanging onto a rolling door that was in operation. Consider before watching.

Doctors from the Intensive Care and Anti-Poison Department assessed the brain damage caused by lack of oxygen and initiated active hypothermia to protect the brain during the critical stage. After 4 days of intensive treatment, baby M. was taken off the ventilator, alert, recognized his name and age, and was able to follow medical orders.

Currently, the patient has overcome the critical stage and is being treated at Children's Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh City.

MSc. Tran Thi Bich Kim, Deputy Head of the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison, said that this type of accident can be prevented. Accordingly, families need to be more careful in choosing and using rolling doors. Specifically, they should prioritize choosing doors with safety sensors or reverse functions when encountering obstacles; place the control buttons in a high position, out of reach of children. Equip an emergency shut-off button for quick handling in case of an incident.

At the same time, parents needto educate children that rolling doors are not toys, do not climb or hang on the door; absolutely do not let children play near rolling doors, especially when the door is operating.

In case of an accident, it is necessary to provide proper first aid and take the child to a medical facility as soon as possible to increase the child's chances of survival and recovery.
