The patient's family said that after using the toilet, the child stood on the toilet to hang things. The toilet suddenly broke, causing sharp pieces of porcelain to cut deep into the child's back, causing severe bleeding. The family immediately took the child to a nearby medical station for initial first aid and then urgently transferred him to Thong Nhat Hospital.

Dr. Nguyen Thuy Trang - Head of the Emergency Department recommends that parents absolutely avoid letting children climb in the bathroom or stand on porcelain, glass, or fragile materials.

In case of an accident that causes heavy bleeding, stay calm, use gauze or a clean towel to apply direct pressure to the wound, then quickly take the child to the nearest medical facility for timely treatment. At the same time, equip children with daily safety skills to help limit the risk of unfortunate accidents.
