While working on the ship, Mr. TT experienced epigastric pain. He took his own medicine and the pain subsided. However, on June 24, the epigastric pain suddenly returned and gradually spread throughout the abdomen, causing nausea but no vomiting, and constipation. The patient was taken to the Tien Nu Island Infirmary for emergency treatment with pain throughout the abdomen.
Doctors here diagnosed infection and poisoning syndrome, manifested by dry lips, dirty tongue, bad breath, fatigue, fever, and abdominal distension.
Telemedicine consultation with Military Hospital 175 , upper-level doctors diagnosed the patient with total peritonitis at the 18th hour, suspected to be due to perforated gastric and duodenal ulcers, lipid metabolism disorders, cirrhosis, hepatitis B virus, heart valve regurgitation, pancreatic cysts, kidney cysts, hemorrhoids...

Therefore, during transport, patients are always closely monitored for signs of infection, especially in the respiratory and abdominal organs. In addition, the appropriate use of antibiotics to prevent the progression of abdominal infections is also very important.
Although the flight was conducted over a long period of time, in harsh weather conditions, and had to land on Truong Sa Island to refuel, the flight crew of the 18th Army Corps and the Air Rescue Team of Military Hospital 175 transported the patient to Military Hospital 175 safely and promptly.
The patient was immediately taken to the Emergency Department and quickly performed specific tests, conducted a consultation and performed surgery. At 9:30 a.m. on June 26, the surgery was successful. Currently, the patient is out of critical condition and is being monitored after surgery./.
