On December 2, Vinh Long General Hospital said that on December 1, Ms. N.T.T (94 years old, Phuoc Hau ward), admitted to the hospital with chest pain, shortness of breath, chong matia, diarrhea, high blood pressure, only 90/60 mmHg, heart rate 36 times/minute.
Recorded heart rate: Intermittent heartbeat - a manifestation of noose failure, a dangerous irregular heartbeat disorder that can lead to cardiac arrest.
Immediately, the patient was treated with drugs to treat arrhythmia but did not respond, the heart rate was still arrhythmia, and the blood pressure did not improve.
Faced with the risk of cardiac arrest, the doctors quickly consulted. Dr. Pham Thi Mai Hau (Deputy Head of the Department of Cardiovascular Neurology - Geriatrics) and the temporary spacement team agreed to temporarily set up a temporary spacement machine to maintain a stable heart rate before transferring the machine to a permanent hospital.
After only 20 minutes of performing at the DSA room, the team successfully installed a temporary heart rate machine, helping the patient's heart rate to stabilize at 60 times/minute, reducing chest pain, eliminating shortness of breath and improving blood pressure. After that, the patient was transferred to Cho Ray Hospital safely, with stable blood pressure.
Setting a temporary heartbeat machine through a vein is a specialized cardiovascular technique, performed only at hospitals with sufficient capacity and equipment.
This technique plays a saving role in dangerous slow-ural disorders, helping to stabilize heart rate, protect blood flow, prevent sudden cardiac arrest and ensure safety when transferred to the hospital.
The successful implementation of the technique of placing temporary heart rate machines through veins at Vinh Long General Hospital marks a step forward in the interventional cardiovascular system, improving the ability to save the lives of patients with critical renal disorder, ensuring blood flow and safety when transferring to the specialized facility.
