HCM CITY— Doctors of HCM City-based Paediatrics Hospital No.1 successfully saved the life of a two-day-old infant by removing a giant hematoma from his body. The immediate treatment was to look for suitable blood type for blood transfusion. “Wrong blood type could result in blood disorder and pose a higher risk of death. There was a lack of voluntary blood donors during the Tết (Lunar New Year) holiday so we had to call for help from blood banks and the city’s hospitals to look for a matching blood source,” Tâm said. The two-day infant is the hospital’s youngest hematoma patient, hospitalised in extremely critical condition.
