Ensuring emergency treatment for traffic accident injuries

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the hustle and bustle of spring's arrival is palpable both inside homes and on the streets. Everyone is busy preparing for a joyful and warm Tet. Traffic accidents are something no one wishes for, yet they become more likely due to increased travel needs and crowded streets.

Dr. Cao Manh Lieu, with years of experience in the Orthopedics and Traumatology department at Hanoi French Hospital says, "Injuries from traffic accidents vary in severity and can have long-lasting health impacts if not treated promptly.”

Common injuries from traffic accidents include:

• Head injuries
• Chest and abdominal trauma
• Limb and spinal injuries, including pelvic bones

With the ability to communicate fluently in Vietnamese, English and French, Dr. Lieu has treated many patients and always keeps up to date with the most advanced techniques. Doctor notes that the most dangerous aspect for those injured in traffic accidents is external or internal bleeding. The risk of ruptured hollow organs or pneumothorax is also significant. These conditions can threaten a patient's life.

Accordingly, in the event of a traffic accident injury, it is crucial to urgently transport the patient to a medical facility equipped to intervene and treat them promptly.
