Bach Mai Hospital Director provides health information on female student with broken heart after accident

The 21-year-old female patient is a student at a university in Hanoi . After 3 weeks of intensive treatment, the girl is awake, has no neurological sequelae (despite circulatory arrest), and can return to normal life.

On the evening of February 28, the girl was returning home after tutoring when she suddenly got into an accident. The collision left the girl in critical condition and she was rushed to Thuong Tin District Hospital (Hanoi) before being taken to a central hospital.

Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, informed about a special case that was saved after 3 weeks of treatment.

At Bach Mai Hospital, the girl was taken to the emergency room in a coma and stopped circulating. Doctors immediately performed CPR. The patient's circulation returned and she was immediately taken to the operating room.

In the operating room, the cardiologist discovered the patient's ruptured heart and removed about 1.5 kg of blood clots and blood. The surgery was urgent. During the surgery, the doctors had to transfuse 10 liters of blood . "The interdisciplinary coordination helped us save the patient's life," Associate Professor, Dr. Co said.

In addition to inter-departmental coordination, first aid is important to save the patient's life. "If the patient is given emergency treatment outside the hospital and the first aid is effective, we will have the opportunity to save the patient," Associate Professor Co said.

Associate Professor Co suggested that A9 Emergency Center, together with the Vietnam Association of Resuscitation and Anti-Poison, and the resuscitation department coordinate to provide out-of-hospital emergency training for many people in the community, so that more patients with strokes, cardiac arrests, and accidents can be saved.

In Japan, the United States and many other countries around the world, not only medical staff know how to perform CPR and first aid for victims, but also university students are trained in first aid. When more people have first aid knowledge, the more chances of saving lives in accidents in the community.
