Children died of traffic accidents suddenly increased

In the past 4 days, Ho Chi Minh City Children's Hospital 2 received 7 emergencies from Dong Nai. In which, 3 people died and 2 were in critical condition. The remaining cases, although rescued, cannot be confirmed in terms of recovery.

According to Dr. Pham Thi Kim Loan, Head of the Emergency Department of Children's Hospital 2, in fact, the emergency work showed that the number of children with traumatic injuries due to traffic accidents in Dong Nai province always occupied the highest rate. In 30 emergency cases of brain injury due to traffic accidents in November, this province accounted for 1/5. But the case of 7 serious injuries in just 4 days with nearly 50% of the above deaths has never happened. These children were all taken to the emergency in a state of excessive brain hemorrhage, which went into a deep coma.

There are children who have an accident because of a small neglect of an adult like NTA's nephew, 4 years old at Nui Tuong, Tan Phu. Because there were no people watching, I ran to the road and was hit by a motorbike, there was no conclusion. In many cases of accidents due to the lack of awareness of patients, such as 14-year-old LDM, riding a motorbike carrying 3 more people behind, could not control it, so they drove into the electric poles. This child also died.

A. is still receiving emergency treatment at Children's Hospital II (covered with white towel).

Because the skull of the child is still young, it is easy to have a brain hemorrhage when hitting a hard object. If the brain is bleeding too much, it will be life-threatening. Therefore, parents need to pay more attention to their children, especially families close to the road, with heavy traffic to minimize unfortunate accidents that may occur. " Besides, the school and the authorities need to have traffic safety education for students on a regular basis to raise the students ' awareness ," Dr. Loan said.
