The child, T.S (Cambodian nationality), suffered a serious traumatic brain injury. According to medical records, nearly a month ago, a serious traffic accident occurred suddenly while S was driving an electric bicycle in his home country of Cambodia. The collision caused the child to fall into a deep coma, seriously damaging many organs: left collarbone fracture, lung contusion, liver and kidney injury, especially severe traumatic brain injury.
During the first 10 days at home, the child was given a ventilator through the endotracheal tube, feeding through the stomach, receiving blood transfusion and receiving intensive treatment. Although it has passed the critical period, hope for recovery seems to be a distant thing. The family had no choice but to take the child to Vietnam, looking for recovery opportunities at City International Hospital.
Pediatrics were admitted to City International Hospital in a state of serious central nervous system damage, liver and kidney damage that had not recovered, muscle loss, weak reflexes. The child lost the ability to communicate and move, and was completely dependent on medical care.
Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Cam, Department of Pediatrics, City International Hospital, said: We not only treat organ damage, but also have to activate each vital ability of the child, from active breathing, swallowing reflex, alertness, to emotions and recognition. It is a process that requires patience, professionalism and deep empathy.
The treatment regimen is comprehensively implemented: intravenous nutrition with personalized nutrition, treatment of acute ulcers, infection control, combined with daily physical therapy to maintain respiratory function and restart central neurological activity.
10 days after admission, the child began to show signs of recovery, combined with daily physical therapy to maintain respiratory function and restart central neurological activity.
Currently, the patient has been discharged from the hospital, but the recovery journey of patient S. is still long. The child will continue to practice physical therapy at home, monitor neurological indicators, practice movement and gradually communicate. But the miracle was written from the patient herself, a weak Cambodian girl who was once at risk of living " plant life", now smilingly receiving a lot of hope ahead.
