Description
Jana Jaber and co-authors describe the rescue of a man whose neck was cut almost all the way around in an industrial accident. The 45-year-old arrived with a deep wound sweeping 270 degrees, heavy blood loss, and shock. Crews secured his airway, gave oxygen and fluids on the way in, and the hospital team took him straight to surgery.
Surgeons tied off torn vessels at the back of the neck, stopped the bleeding, repaired the muscles, placed a drain, and closed the skin. Afterward he was watched closely in intensive care, with nerve checks and pain control. He survived an injury class that makes up a tenth of trauma cases and often kills. The authors stress that fast pre-hospital care, careful surgery, and close follow-up together save such patients, and they call for standard protocols.
