Emergency surgery for boy run over by homemade tricycle

NDO - Dr. Cao Viet Tung, Deputy Director of the National Children's Hospital, said that the child patient in the accident where he was run over by a homemade tricycle was transferred from Nam Dinh General Hospital to the hospital's Emergency and Anti-Poison Department on the evening of May 3.

According to Dr. Cao Viet Tung, the child was run over by a homemade tricycle, causing closed abdominal trauma.

Upon receiving the patient, the on-duty team examined, performed tests and took a CT scan to assess the patient's condition. The patient was scheduled for emergency surgery with a diagnosis of left diaphragmatic rupture causing herniation of the stomach and intestines into the chest, grade 3 kidney injury, small intestine contusion and retroperitoneal hematoma.

"The emergency surgery was performed quickly at night. The surgeon stitched and reconstructed the diaphragm, preserved the baby's kidney, removed the bruised intestine, and reconnected the intestines end to end," said Dr. Tung.

After surgery, the baby was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for continued resuscitation and close monitoring of vital functions.

According to the hospital's leadership, the patient's condition is currently unstable and needs to be closely monitored and further tests performed to assess whether the patient has any bleeding or other injuries.

On the evening of May 3, a 2-minute clip was circulated on social media about an incident that allegedly occurred at Nam Dinh General Hospital. According to the clip, a man saw a child having an accident with a homemade tricycle, so he helped and took the child to the emergency room. However, when this man brought the child to Nam Dinh General Hospital, the medical staff required that the full hospital deposit be paid before the child could be given emergency treatment.

Nam Dinh Department of Health is asking the hospital to check the camera at the time of the incident to verify whether the child was given emergency care or not to report to the Department of Health.
