Previously, patient N.V.T. (53 years old, in Tho The commune, Trieu Son district) was hospitalized in critical condition, with a long piece of wood deeply stuck in his left neck, a lot of blood flowing, low blood pressure, rapid pulse and difficulty breathing.

According to the patient's family, while operating a wood cutting machine, Mr. T. was thrown a piece of sharp wood and stuck directly in his neck. Seeing the danger, the family immediately took him to Thanh Hoa General Hospital.

At the hospital, doctors quickly performed initial emergency steps, controlled blood arrest, X-ray and CT scan of the neck - chest area, quickly invited a consultation and transferred the patient to the emergency operating room.

At the operating room, doctors decided to open the sternum to approach and control the damage. This is an extremely complex technique that requires absolute precision to remove foreign objects without further damaging blood vessels.

After more than 3 hours of surgery, the doctors successfully removed the sharp wooden foreign object from the patient's neck. The torn arteries are quickly sutured, ensuring blood circulation returns.

After surgery, the patient recovered quickly: vital index was stable, no longer at risk of bleeding. Three days later, Mr. T. was alert, had good blood pressure, and could talk and move gently. After more than a week of treatment, the patient was discharged from the hospital.
