On 17/1, Doctor Nguyen Huu Tin from the Intensive Care and Anti-poisoning Department, Nhan Dan 115 Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, reported that the patient was transferred after receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation at a previous facility to restore circulation. Doctors closely monitored him and administered treatment according to protocol. After two days, the patient was extubated, gradually recovered, and returned to near-normal health after about one week of treatment.

According to Doctor Tin, electricity is an essential energy source for daily life and production, yet it carries many risks. Electric shock accidents can occur due to carelessness or electrical leakage, causing bodily harm through various mechanisms such as heat generation, cell membrane breakdown, and macromolecular denaturation. This can lead to multi-organ dysfunction, particularly cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.

When exposed to low-frequency alternating current, commonly used in daily life, electric shock victims often experience muscle spasms and become "stuck" to the power source. This increases the risk of respiratory and circulatory arrest if not detected and managed promptly.

Doctors advise that if an electric shock accident is suspected, the power source must be quickly disconnected using a circuit breaker or automatic switch. If immediate disconnection is not possible, do not touch the victim directly. Instead, use a dry, non-conductive object to separate the victim from the power source. Simultaneously, call for emergency medical assistance immediately and begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation if the victim is not breathing or unresponsive, continuing until professional help arrives.

The public, especially those working in high-risk environments, should participate in electric shock first-aid training courses. It is crucial to regularly inspect and maintain electrical systems, avoid operating equipment with wet hands or on damp surfaces. Do not use devices showing signs of exposed wiring or intermittent power, avoid overloading electrical outlets, and arrange electrical cords neatly, away from water sources, to minimize accident risks.
