Wounded in swimming – the “flight – fashion” of a young accident victim

Date:

In a bad accident, a young Ukrainian (18) in Lower Austria crashed into the concrete of a swimming pool and injured injuries on the cervical spine. The first aid worked quickly and perfectly. But then the young patient had to be laid several times by helicopter …

An emergency call, a flying decision, three clinics – and a patient moan with pain. What was now in Litschau in the Waldviertel is no exception, but a lesson about the balance between medical skills and structural limits.

Rescue Helicopter was quickly on site
After all, the “yellow angel” started minutes after the bad accident. The emergency patient-a 18-year-old refugee from Ukraine-lane an “unstable cervical spine fracture” when he jumped into the cold wet wet. In the air, the possibility was first clarified in two specialized centers: Krems and Vienna-Meetling.

Krems: No acute MRI available
But the reality that day was more difficult than any algorithm. Because the state of emergency situation was raging in Meidling. Acute poor injuries in parallel food made it impossible to take. The “Odyssey” continued. In Krems the doctors continued to stabilize the young man, but the urgently necessary acute MRI was not available.

Another flight to St. Pölten
Again, the rescue transport had to take off. On the way to St. Pölten University Hospital. The urgent necessary magnetic resonance image formation can be carried out there. Dan: Back to Krems. Back to those who had prepared the intervention – and eventually performed it successfully. According to the treating doctors, the man is now on his way of improvement.

“Exercise and diagnostic opportunities”
“We take our responsibility very seriously towards all patients. They are treated according to clear medical criteria and in close coordination between the institutions.
