00:00Because of the fireworks for the new year, there are people who need to be rushed to the hospital after it explodes.
00:19Just like in the Tondo Medical Center in Manila, where the arrival of some patients is still ongoing.
00:25My ulot on the spot is Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:28Sandra?
00:55They also have a case of stray bullet. This is just one of them.
00:59According to the hospital's guidelines, the arrival of patients started at 12.02 am.
01:06One of the patients needs to be cut off his hand because he was also damaged by the fireworks.
01:13When the patient was asked why that happened to him, he said he can no longer remember because he was also drunk.
01:21He was also cut off his hand after the fireworks exploded in his mouth.
01:25Another child was also hit by the fireworks in his eyes.
01:28According to the child's father, the fireworks did not go off immediately.
01:31So the child was stuck and it went off.
01:34According to Dr. Nicolo Bolsecco of the Tondo Medical Center, they also have cases of gunshot wounds and vehicular accident.
01:43This is related to the new year celebration because most of the patients are drunk.
01:50According to Dr. Jose R. Reyes of Memorial Medical Center,
01:54since 17 yesterday, 87 patients were admitted to their hospital due to firecracker-related injuries.
02:02Only 70 patients were admitted to their hospital because of the fireworks.
02:06According to Dr. Wenceslao Lauderes, the medical chief of the hospital,
02:15We also updated from the Philippine General Hospital and we were told that 11 cases of firecracker-related injuries were admitted to the hospital.
02:32We are also updating the assessment from the Department of Health for the total number of injured due to the celebration of the new year nationwide.
02:45This is the last update from the Tondo Medical Center.
02:52All hospitals and other health facilities in the country will remain on a code white alert until January 6.
02:59This means that all health care workers are ready to respond to any medical emergency at any time.
03:06Under the code white, the coordination of the Department of Health staff in various hospitals was also tightened.
03:13Medicines and other supplies were also added to the emergency and operating rooms.
03:19The DOH is expecting many medical emergencies every Christmas and New Year, which is why the code white was raised.
03:26According to the DOH, the injury or injury should not be neglected because of the firecrackers, even if it is small.
03:34Wash your face with soap and clean water.
03:37Cover your face with gauze or clean cloth.
03:40Press the part with the wound to stop the bleeding.
03:45For those who were hit by firecrackers in the eye,
03:48apply clean and warm water to the affected eye.
03:53Do not use cold water or ice.
03:57Do not turn or move the wounded eye and cover it with clean cloth or gauze.
04:04Also, go to the emergency room to give anti-tetanus medication.
04:09If the firecrackers explode, do not force the person who was hit by the firecrackers to vomit.
04:15Feed them raw egg whites.
04:18For children, feed them 6 to 8 pieces.
04:21For adults, feed them 8 to 12 pieces.
04:25The DOH is also reminding people to go to the hospital for an emergency.
04:32If there are families who are celebrating the New Year,
04:35there are those who chose to go out and spend time with their families and friends,
04:40just like the year of the street party in Tondo, Manila.
04:43We have news from Vamalegre and Bea Pinla.
