Upon admission, the patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for intensive treatment. Doctors quickly performed resuscitation measures such as oxygen support, antibiotic infusion, blood pressure medication, blood sugar control with insulin, and intensive respiratory care.
After 7 days of intensive treatment, the patient's health gradually recovered, fever subsided, breathing became easier, eating normally, vital signs were stable and he was discharged from the hospital and continued his personal schedule.
Dr. Nguyen Phi Hung, Medical Director of Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital, said that for international tourists, encountering health problems while traveling is very difficult. Therefore, the hospital is always proactive in approaching, diagnosing, treating and providing language support, helping patients feel secure as if they were being cared for at home.
