Children's Hospital 2, HCMC: Emergency treatment for many children in accidents

The first case was a child named NTN (5 years old, residing in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province) who had a fish bone stuck in his throat. The child was ordered to have an X-ray and CT scan, which determined that the foreign object was stuck in the esophagus causing inflammation and edema, and emergency endoscopy was performed to remove the foreign object. Two days later, the child recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

The second case is a child named TK (2 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City), who suffered burns to the entire oral cavity, could not eat or drink, and showed signs of infection with high inflammation indexes due to accidentally drinking drain cleaner powder. Doctors administered intravenous fluids, used drugs to protect and heal the mucosa, drugs to reduce secretions, and antibiotics to control the infection. The child underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy to assess the damage, and the results showed that the child had a second-degree esophageal burn. Immediately after that, the child had a gastric tube inserted under endoscopic guidance for feeding. After a week of active treatment, the child was able to eat and drink again and was discharged from the hospital.
