The patient was taken to the hospital by his family for emergency treatment while conscious, with severe pain in the damaged area, and the wound had stopped bleeding.
Immediately upon receiving the patient, the doctors quickly conducted an examination, CT scan and performed the necessary tests to assess the damage. After consultation, the patient was indicated for emergency surgery to remove the foreign object from the head area.
Colonel, Dr. Do Khac Hau - Deputy Head of the Neurosurgery Department, 108 Central Military Hospital said: The surgery was successful, helping to completely remove the foreign object without causing more serious damage to the patient. In particular, the wound is close to the transverse vein Tube, if the lesion only deviates by a few millimeter, the patient may be in danger of death due to the lesion causing bleeding.
After a period of active treatment, the patient recovered well and was discharged from the hospital.
Doctors recommend that children are active and not fully aware of the risk of injury, so parents and schools need to equip themselves with safe knowledge and closely monitor. Important measures include: educating on accident prevention skills, basic first aid instructions, removing sharp objects, and increasing supervision at home and school. Although accidents cannot be completely avoided, with good preparation and education, risks can be reduced and children's safety can be protected.
