Phu Quoc Boat Accident's Most Critically Injured Patient Can Now Eat and Drink

A 54-year-old Indian tourist, who was the most critically injured in a boat capsize incident off Phu Quoc island, has shown significant improvement and is now stable. After nearly a week of intensive care at Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the patient is conscious, no longer requires oxygen support, and his blood pressure is stable.

Doctors reported that the patient has had his pacemaker removed and is now able to eat and drink on his own, performing light activities while in his hospital bed. This marks a remarkable recovery for the tourist, who suffered severe respiratory failure due to drowning, shock, multiple injuries, and brain hemorrhage.

He also had pre-existing conditions, including diabetes and acute myocardial infarction due to coronary artery blockage. Specialists performed an emergency coronary artery recanalization procedure in Phu Quoc, a complex intervention given the patient's condition and the risk of bleeding associated with anticoagulant medication.

Following the stabilization of his condition, the patient was transferred by air ambulance to Cho Ray Hospital on July 13 for continued specialized treatment. He is scheduled for further consultations on July 20, focusing on cardiology, nutritional support, and physical therapy.
