On September 24, Mr. Vu Van Giap, deputy director of Bach Mai Hospital, said that after 2 weeks of treatment, patient MHTN - a victim of a landslide caused by flash floods in Lang Nu village (Phuc Khanh, Bao Yen, Lao Cai) - has shown some improvement. The patient is awake, can talk, and eat through a tube.
However, the patient is still in serious condition, requiring a ventilator, a combination of antibiotics, nutrition, and rehabilitation.
"The patient's serious problem is still the lungs due to inhaling mud and being submerged in water for a long time. X-rays show that the lungs still have many abscesses, and he is coughing up a lot of phlegm... This afternoon, the hospital will continue to consult to focus all the best resources to treat the child," Mr. Giap shared.
Previously on September 11, Bach Mai Hospital received a child patient transferred from Lao Cai province in a state of pneumonia due to drowning and inhaling mud, complications of ARDS, multiple injuries, right clavicle fracture, right liver contusion, and multiple soft tissue injuries. The child was monitored for septic shock, multiple organ failure, blood clotting disorder, and acute rhabdomyolysis syndrome.

Previously, the patient was taken to the district hospital for emergency treatment, then to Lao Cai province for monitoring abdominal and liver injuries, kidney and adrenal gland injuries, and a broken leg. The most serious was the open skull wound, with the risk of anaerobic bacterial infection that could be life-threatening.
After being transferred to Viet Duc Hospital, doctors held an interdisciplinary and inter-hospital consultation to treat the child. After consulting with neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery specialists, the doctors decided to perform surgery to cover the open skull wound.
The surgery lasted 5 hours, the doctors were able to cover as much of the scalp as possible. In addition, they removed a lot of mud and pus from the child's eye sockets.
Currently, the patient's health is stable, his psychology is normal, and his post-operative wound is stable. The patient is receiving intensive treatment at the hospital.
