Continuously rescuing children with accidents during the summer

Since the beginning of June, hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City have regularly admitted children due to household accidents during the summer vacation, many of which are life-threatening.

In particular, patient LTL (7 years old, residing in Ca Mau ) was transferred to Children's Hospital 1, Ho Chi Minh City, in a state of widespread infection in the eye socket, swelling, and severe pain. The results of diagnostic imaging showed that a foreign object was deeply embedded in the soft tissue, damaging the branch of the third cranial nerve, with a risk of losing vision. The surgical team quickly and successfully removed a 1.5cm piece of wood, drained a quantity of pus from the eye socket, and actively treated with antibiotics. The child is now stable.

At Children's Hospital 2, doctors also performed an emergency endoscopy on a 12-month-old patient who had swallowed a safety pin. The treatment team quickly and safely handled the situation, successfully removing the foreign object without causing any harm to the patient.
