I have seen such a scene like this before at Anthony Oke, the guy was trying to cross the express and got knocked down. The two legs were gone. He was just seated by the road side crying. It was a terrible scene. May God continue to watch over us and our family. I feel for that boy

MadCow1:



Points well noted.. However, A Tourniquet is the best first aid that can be applied at this time. High up the tigh and tied very very tight. Hopefully the open end of the artery has not receded beyond that point. Then rush the kid to the hospital as quickly as possible.

And like I said, the injury in and of itself (flesh wound) is not fatal, but the blood loss from the cut is what will kill him if something isnt done to stem it..

In his state as is in the picture, 20mins would be very optimistic. I see him entering into shock in under 5 minutes and bleeding out by 10.

Good..we on same page tho

An artery is not collapsible.it is like a rigid pipe.only artery clamps will do.
Only a vein is collapsible hence you can use a tourniquet to apply pressure

There is little anybody can do for that boy except to fix an IV (drip) till a doctor arrives to clamp that artery.

Cheers

my heart breaks

so sorry boy You will be fine in JESUS name

Amen

so unfortunate, I wish him a quick recovery

JohnnyNY:
So sad, he should be taken to the hospital ASAP. That leg can still walk again

If he's given tetanus sharp sharp d leg is safe.... If not, amputation tinz

henrydadon:


how did the terrible thing happen ..what caused it..was he running after a bus..or hit by a car..u just come here post news without detailed information

he was coming down from a bus and got hit by a car...shey u hear?

manuel80:

If it was a ruptured artery it would be better

That leg is almost off.. His bones are visible

No, A ruptured artery means he is loosing blood fast and will go into hypovolemic shock if the bleeding is not stemmed, the bones / ligaments as bad as it looks exposed can still be treated with surgery and strong intravenous antibiotics.. The main priority if you ever come across this, is to quickly apply a tourniquet to stop the bleed, then whisk the person quickly to hospital..

This is a life threatening situation..

Poor lad, instead of getting him help someone is busy taking pictures.. I feel for my people, how can a nation function without a decent emergency service..What a country

God we Save him

O really!

Thanks for the info.. I never knew that about arteries..

MadCow1:


O really!

Welcome sir..
please to add,doctors can insert arterial tourniquets also.this is not the conventional tourniquet tho.sometimes the muscle will be cut and the artery is tied with the tourniquet.

whirlwind7:

He's losing so much blood! This boy may die in a few more minutes if that bleeding is not stopped. The accident likely ruptured an artery.

See this man talking about an artery...
Can't you see the whole damn leg is gone?

dedons:
ewwww...

see what Buhari and APC caused.

May God help us.

am not a fan of APC, bt am wondering ooo, how dis buhari cause dis one na?......

SO Tourniquets (conventional) are for veins not arterial injuries.. Hmm..

And so the best bet is to chuck that kid into a vehicle and race to a hospital. Are those arterial clamps common and is it a procedure that any Doctor (GP) can perform?

SafeDavid:

Don't know why I'm gonna bother with a reply to you. Obviously, you know zilch about human physiology.
He can lose a leg but still stay alive.
But a severed major artery will make him bleed out and die within minutes.

l pray for quick recovery but government should look into this cause there is no school bus .

dedons:
ewwww...

see what Buhari and APC caused.

May God help us.

u de stupid eh!!u don refuse 2 grow up!!!who even de dash u mumu likes??slowpoke

Does that accident look like an artery would have survived?

What that boy needs is to be moved to the ER and have that limb amputated.

There's no need talking about an artery in this case.
.
Side note.


Unlike you, I chose to tow the part of enlightenment rather than hurling insults like a tout.

May the finger of God touch you and heal you,son.

Op, where did the accident happen? Cos the uniform looks like that of an Ikd sec school...
first aid should a bn administered to the boy...
the bone is crushed, I doubt he'd be able to walk again

Uchizzy:
This boy was going to school this morning, see the terrible thing that happened to him, So SAD!!!. May God Grant him quick recovery. Amen.

JESUS! how come?

You guys should quit making moronic comments , its not funny. What has the president n his political party got to do with this , how about u sympathize with the kid ? Imagine the kinda pain he's going through..

MadCow1:


O really!

Thanks for the info.. I never knew that about arteries..

That's a wrong info the guy gave you
Whether arteries are better compressible or not, tourniquet effect reduces blood loss via arteries.
In fact, tourniquet effect in trauma is created for arteries.

Arteries convey blood from the heart to a site, that's why you need to compress it to reduce blood loss from the heart. Have you wondered why POP gone wrong in orthopedics can make the site numb and the skin there become cold? It's because the pop was made too tight and so it compromised blood supply, it also becomes painful due to the resultant ischemia. This eg just demonstrates that tourniquet effects clamps down arteries and the fact that it was created for arteries actually .
Of what use will tourniquets be in trauma management if it were for veins?
Veins just take blood away from the site to the heart, so what will you achieve compressing it in blood loss? In this case, it's counterproductive because you wouldn't want to impede blood flow back to the heart, to prevent shock.

In surgeries, like in fibroid removal, you use tourniquet effects to compress the uterine arteries to prevent massive hemorrhage .......
So, when next sb cuts a limb, tie the person up and zoom to the hosp.. At the hospital, that's the first hemodynamic step they take of it weren't there already.
I will stop here.

Instead of attending to him via paramedics some are busy taking photo shots as the unfortunate victim bleeds away ..

This is horrible n really saddening, to imagine the kinda pain the lad must be going through ...

Amen oooooo

For a non medic,yes. Tourniquet are best for veins.veins are close to the surface and arteries are buried deep inside the muscle most time.

If a non medical personnel apply enough pressure with a tourniquet to close an artery.he/she will cause more damage to underlying structures,muscles and nerve.

The best bet will be to whisk the child to the hospital with a drip given on the way. If you like tie heaven and earth, it won't stop the bleed .

Artery clamping is a mini surgical procedure where you cut the muscle open and "peg" the artery (the clamp is called an artery forceps)..then repair the bleed. Any good ,experienced GP is capable

human flesh ain't notin. see how tiny d bone is. God I fear for my life.

dedons:

wetin bring buhari nw

I want to know how this happened, the story is too vague. What destroyed his flesh clean to the bone? Did a wild animal attack him? I would've said it was a lie but I've seen a dog this sort of thing happened to and in the same manner as these pictures nobody cared to help.

blueeyes1:
God bless you, Op dey busy dey take pictures, whatever happened to even giving the boy first aid? He's lost so much blood already.
