On July 2, Colonel - Specialist Doctor 2 Vu Dinh An - Head of the Intensive Care Department (Military Hospital 175) said that after receiving an inter-hospital alarm signal from the place where the patient was undergoing chest surgery, the medical team from Military Hospital 175 quickly arrived to assist.
At the time of approaching the patient, it was noted that the patient was in a deep coma, blood pressure was being maintained with 2 very high doses of vasopressors, respiratory failure with optimal mechanical ventilation. The SpO2 index of the extremities was only at 70 - 75% with 100% inspired oxygen.
Assessing the patient's condition as too serious, doctors from the two hospitals coordinated to quickly consult and deploy ECMO technique for the patient on the spot. After ECMO intervention, the patient's vital signs were controlled, and he was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, Military Hospital 175 for continued treatment.
Doctors in the process of life-saving intervention
After 6 days of treatment, the patient's cardiovascular function and organ dysfunction improved, ECMO was discontinued and post-resuscitation care continued. The patient fully recovered and was discharged on July 1, after 18 days of treatment.
Dr. An said that the inter-hospital red alert is a form of emergency treatment for critical, life-threatening cases that exceed the treatment capacity of the current facility. This process helps bring benefits in terms of human resources, expertise, and the best equipment to effectively intervene for patients.
Recently, Military Hospital 175 has coordinated with hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City to effectively implement the inter-hospital red alert process and has saved many critical cases.
