Kon Tum market manager in critical condition following accident

A 54-year-old male patient, part of a group of Market Management officials, was involved in a traffic accident in Kon Tum and is currently in a coma due to a brain hemorrhage. Doctors at Cho Ray Hospital are working to treat him. The patient suffered multiple injuries, including severe anemia, broken shoulder blades and ribs, and bleeding in many areas of the brain. Doctors are transfusing blood, correcting coagulation disorders, and surgically removing hematomas in an effort to save his life.

This patient’s case is the most serious among the 15 individuals transferred to Cho Ray Hospital following the accident in Kon Tum. Six patients with milder injuries have been discharged, while the remaining 8 are being treated in various departments for Traumatic Brain Injury, Ear, Nose and Throat, and Orthopedics. Some patients required surgery for broken bones, while others are being monitored and treated conservatively.

One female patient treated at the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat had heavy nose bleeding, broken nose bones, and head and face injuries. The patient is currently receiving treatment and may be discharged in 2-3 days. Another female patient in the Traumatic Brain Injury department is expected to be discharged soon if her condition remains stable, while a male patient with fractures in the lower leg, forearm, and radius is being monitored for brain injuries prior to potential surgery.

The accident occurred when a car carrying a group of officials from the Ho Chi Minh City Market Management Department collided with a truck and fell into a sewer in Kon Tum, resulting in one fatality and 24 injuries. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
