On July 3, Dr. Dao Ngoc Viet, Head of the Emergency Department at Tuyen Quang General Hospital, gave an update on a child who was being treated for severe burns. The child received fluid replacement, anti-shock drugs, pain relievers, and antibiotics and was in serious condition. After consultation, the doctor decided to transfer the child to Hanoi for intensive burn treatment.

In other news, doctors are urging caution when working or moving in areas with power grids, especially during rainy and humid weather near power stations or high-voltage power lines. In case of an electric shock, it is crucial to act quickly and safely to assist the victim.

If someone has been electrocuted, it is important not to make direct contact with them and focus on disconnecting the power source immediately. Do not attempt to free them from a high-voltage wire but wait for professional assistance instead. When providing first aid to an electric shock victim, ensure your own safety by standing on a dry insulating surface and using insulated gloves or a dry cloth to handle them. Move them to a well-ventilated area away from the power source and seek medical attention promptly.

It is essential to prioritize safety and follow proper procedures when dealing with electrical accidents. Prompt response and appropriate action can make a significant difference in the outcome for the victim.

Stay informed and be prepared to act swiftly in emergency situations involving electric shocks.
