The cutting-edge multidisciplinary treatment at Narayana Hospital saved the life of a 24-year-old polytrauma victim of a car accident. Mr. Pranoy Kumar (name changed) was sent to Narayan Hospital following a serious car accident in which he sustained numerous injuries, including fractures. He was sent to Narayana Hospital for advanced care after being stable at another facility for a while.

When Kumar arrived at the Emergency Room (ER), his condition was serious despite his consciousness and cooperation. He had multiple injuries, including fractures in his lower limbs, right wrist, and left upper limb, as well as bilateral intercostal drains in situ for chest injuries. The hospital’s trauma team moved swiftly to give him the best care possible, under the direction of skilled orthopedic surgeons and with the assistance of a multidisciplinary team.

The patient was diagnosed with multiple fractures of the left shinbone, the smaller bone in the lower leg, the inside and rear of the right ankle, the right thighbone, the upper arm bone on the left side, and the right wrist following a thorough examination that included CT scans and X-rays. Considering the intricacy and gravity of his wounds, the Narayana Hospital team decided on a surgical strategy that would be implemented gradually.

Kumar had his first medical procedure for his leg injuries on May 24. The patient had a second procedure on May 29, 2024. During this treatment, the fracture in his right wrist was stabilized with special plates and screws, the nerves were examined, and the damaged bone in his left upper arm was mended.

On June 3, 2024, Mr. Kumar was released from the cardiothoracic team in stable condition following the removal of his intercostal drains. With a considerable decrease in discomfort and stable vitals, his post-operative recovery has shown promise.

The story of Mr. Kumar is a brilliant illustration of how the state-of-the-art amenities, highly qualified medical staff, and patient-centered, compassionate care provided by Narayana Hospital can work together to produce extraordinary results, even in the most trying circumstances.
