Doctors at MBAL-Pazardzhik Saved a Man's Life After a Severe Electric Scooter Fall

A 29-year-old patient was discharged from the Neurosurgery Department after a severe injury sustained in a self-collision with an electric scooter in Pazardzhik. He arrived at the hospital’s Emergency Department in life-threatening condition and was transported by a team from the Emergency Medical Center.

Following serious injuries to the head, chest, and pelvis, the teams of anesthesia and intensive care, as well as surgeons and neurosurgeons, conducted interventions to save his life and stabilize his condition.

The injured man was placed in a medically induced coma and treated in the intensive care unit for nine days, after which treatment continued in the Neurosurgery Department. During his stay, several life-saving surgical interventions were performed.

According to Dr. Georgi Stoilov, head of the Surgical Department, a life-saving neurosurgical operation was performed to remove an epidural hematoma, and a thoracentesis was carried out to remove accumulated air and reduce pressure on the lung to aid breathing.

The man has now been discharged from the Neurosurgery Department and will continue his recovery at home. Doctors are calling for heightened safety awareness when using electric scooters and for the necessity of stricter prevention and regulation of the vehicle, as such cases are becoming more frequent and can end badly.
