Medical specialists at Bach Mai Hospital in Vietnam have successfully performed high-stakes emergency surgeries involving rapid response protocols.

In early September, surgeons at the hospital’s Ninh Binh facility utilized a high-tech technique to repair a right ventricle rupture in a 63-year-old woman. The team performed the repair on a beating heart without an extracorporeal circulation machine, using biological glue and the patient’s own pericardium to stabilize her after acute myocardial infarction.

Later in the month, the hospital’s urology department responded to a case of testicular torsion in a 14-year-old boy. Following an internal “red alert” protocol, surgical teams restored blood flow to the tissue within 19 minutes of the patient’s arrival, an intervention intended to preserve the organ and future fertility.
