According to the Department of Anesthesia and Resuscitation, People's Hospital 115, previously a young man had to be hospitalized for emergency treatment in a state of severe pain, completely restricted movement of the lower body due to falling from the roof leading to a broken lumbar spine.
Immediately, the patient was prescribed a paraclinical scan by doctors and determined that the patient had a lumbar spine fracture due to a high fall, and the injury could leave serious sequelae if not treated promptly.
According to doctors, this is not a rare case. Many young people, due to being subjective about their health and flexibility, have neglected protective measures when working. Meanwhile, the spine, the "pillar" that supports the body, is very easily damaged by strong force.
Lower back spine fractures not only cause severe pain but also pose a risk of limb paralysis, urinary and fecal disorders, long-term affecting quality of life and working ability. Extensive surgery costs, functional rehabilitation and treatment time can become a burden for the whole family.
Through actual treatment, doctors recorded many accidents originating from climbing without safety ropes, carrying heavy objects in the wrong posture or working in slippery, low-light environments.
Experts recommend that people need to use full protective gear when working on high, learn how to lift heavy objects in the correct posture and absolutely do not work when the body is tired and lacks alertness.
In particular, if spinal injury is suspected, do not arbitrarily lift or turn the victim's body. Fixing it on a hard flat surface and calling for timely emergency care can determine the possibility of recovery later.
