According to Thai Enquireor, the female was in the middle of surgery when there was an earthquake. Police Lieutenant Colonel Jiramrit said, “When closing the abdominal wall, a earthquake occurred. The surgical team decided to stabilize the patient and go to a safe place.”
“On revaluation, it was determined that the patient needed to close the stomach immediately to prevent the risk of intestinal herniation and prevent the potential risk of the bowel loop in the outer air. Given the urgency, the surgical team moved forward with the final bandh of the abdominal wall in a sterile environment outside the operating room, completing the process within 10 minutes,” he said.
The surgeon said that the patient and child are now in a stable position and recovering in a hospital room.
This remedy was taken because the hospital did not have a specific earthquake response plan, and it followed the Fire Equivalence Plan 3, which prefer patient safety.
Patients were transferred to three designated areas, while civil engineers assessed buildings for structural integrity.
