The patient is Mr. D. X. D (born in 1979), a medical staff member working in the offshore platform area. Previously, the patient had cramping pains in his left chest spreading to his left arm, recurring every 2-3 minutes with shortness of breath.
At about 3:10 am on June 19, the patient was taken to DK1/12 Oil Rig for emergency treatment. Through online consultation with doctors of Military Hospital 175, the patient was diagnosed with monitoring myocardial infarction and stroke. Doctors determined that the patient was at high risk of developing heart shock, arrhythmia, coma and severe prognosis, so they ordered emergency transportation to the mainland for treatment.
Implementing the order of the Ministry of National Defense, the flight crew of Southern Helicopter Company and the air ambulance team of Military Hospital 175 led by Captain Ta Van Bach departed from Tan Son Nhat airport to DK1/12 rig.
After safe landing, the medical team quickly received the patient, implemented resuscitation measures to stabilize vital signs before putting the patient on the helicopter. Throughout the flight back to the mainland, the patient was monitored and given special care to ensure safety.
Providing information about the transportation process, Captain Ta Van Bach said that the patient had serious cardiovascular problems, reduced blood circulation in many organs, slow consciousness, anxiety, panic, shortness of breath, and slow heart rate of only 40-50 beats/minute.
Under the effect of cardiovascular support drugs, the patient's blood pressure is improved and more stable. However, the team always closely monitors health developments, and prepares a plan to place a temporary percutaneous pacemaker, treat heart rhythm disorders and use mild sedatives when necessary to ensure safety for the patient throughout the transportation process," Captain Ta Van Bach said.
After being brought back to the mainland, the patient was transferred directly to the Emergency Department, Military Hospital 175. Here, the patient continued to be screened for lesions, undergoing in-depth tests and inter-specialty consultations to develop appropriate treatment regimens.
