On July 10, Hoang Anh Gia Lai University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital said it had just saved the life of patient N.V.T (34 years old, from Gia Lai).
Previously, on the evening of July 5, the patient was hospitalized with a serious left chest wound. Just a few hours before, Mr. T was stabbed in the chest, very close to his heart and lungs, by a pig-throwing knife.
Mr. T was given first aid to stop the bleeding and was quickly transferred to the hospital. Immediately, the patient had a chest CT scan; the results showed a large amount of left pleural blood vessel.
The knife did not leave in the chest but the ribs and lung tissue were damaged, causing dangerous blood clots, threatening the patient's life.
Doctors immediately turned on a red alert and performed endoscopic surgery. During the surgery, the doctors sucked 1,200 mL of fresh red blood.
After surgery, Mr. T's clinical condition quickly stabilized, the left chest was no longer painful, blood pressure and pulse returned to a safe threshold.
Doctors recommend that when sharp objects are stabbed in the chest or abdomen, do not arbitrarily withdraw them from the body; this action can cause heavier bleeding, endangering your life.
