An emergency situation occurred when a 20-year-old patient suffered severe damage to his arm while operating a straw rolling machine. The injury resulted in the need for immediate medical attention, and the victim was first given first aid at a nearby medical facility before being transferred to Xuyen A Long An General Hospital.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Doctor Nguyen Tuan Khanh, Head of the Department of Trauma and Orthopedics, assessed the patient’s condition. After examination and CT scan, it was determined that the patient had severed blood vessels and nerves, requiring amputation to save his life.
The medical team performed the necessary surgery to shape the stump of the patient’s arm and closely monitored his recovery process. Following the surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital with instructions for wound care and infection prevention.
Doctor Khanh emphasized the importance of following safety protocols to prevent such accidents in the future and urged individuals to use proper protective equipment while working. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention in case of any accidents to ensure the best possible outcome.
The incident serves as a reminder of how dangerous machinery can be when not handled properly. It is essential for individuals working with heavy machinery to take safety precautions seriously to avoid similar accidents in the future.
