Road Accident Victim Saved by DESUN’s Swift Medical Team !

Desun 24 hr. Emergency with Specialist Doctors.

Mr. Amal Ghosh, a 46 years old male from Diamond Harbour is the only earning member of a family of five people.  He had a massive road accident which almost killed him.  He was on bike and was hit by a goods truck.  The accident took place at night.  The pedestrians picked him up and took him to a nearby nursing home.  The nursing home charged initial deposit money for admission which nobody had at that moment.  One of the persons in that group remembered that DESUN Hospital does not charge initial Deposit money at the time of admission.

The patient was immediately shifted to DESUN in gasping condition.  Immediately he was tested with Chest X-Ray and subsequently with CT Chest.  The tests revealed multiple rib fracture with fracture scapula and clerical resulting in severe lung injury.  This caused pneumo and haemothorax (rupture of lung resulting in accumulation of air and blood in chest). Observing this critical condition of the patient the doctors decided to put chest drain immediately on both sides of the chest.  He was then intubated and ventilated.

The accident had made its injurious impact on almost every part of his body.

He was suffering from tendon and muscle injury of right foot.  A medical team, comprising of specialist internal medicine doctors, cardiothoracic surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, pulmonologist and plastic surgeon reviewed him daily.  Since the patient was in shock he was haemodynamically unstable.  This critical condition required proper management and tremendous skill with supporting infrastructure to make the patient stable.  Ultimately the doctors were able to make him haemodynamically stable. Next he underwent t blood transfusion.

Another problem he was suffering from was pneumonia due to lung injury.  Pneumonia is caused due to infections.  He developed severe infection called sepsis.  His culture report showed the presence of ESBL producer Klebsiella and multi drug resistant pseudomonas.  To normalize his state the doctor gave him optimal antibiotic therapy along with supportive medications.  All these medical efforts made him haemodynamically stable.  After 10 days he was shifted from the ITU to general ward.  He was discharged 7 days later.

He is now fit and back at his job and is supporting his wife, two daughters and mother in his family like before.  This has been possible because of DESUN’s infrastructure  and swift intervention.

Corollary Accidents are frequent mishaps that often take away lives of people.  Such emergencies need swift admission and very quick medical treatment.  If the treatment is delayed the result can be fatal.  The is where DESUN Hospital is of greatest help.  It has 24 Hour Emergency Ambulance Cell which helps the patient at any time of the day or night to be picked up from their area in the shortest possible time and bring the patient over to DESUN.  Further, Deposit Free Emergency Admission at DESUN is a blessing for such patients as they do not carry so much money with them.
