00:00:03.048 --> 00:00:06.302 
The Poison Control Center of Bach Mai
Hospital has just received 2 male 

00:00:06.302 --> 00:00:09.556 
patients, 45 years old and 53 years old,
transferred from the Bac Son 

00:00:09.556 --> 00:00:10.808 
Regional Medical Center for treatment. 

00:00:11.208 --> 00:00:14.064 
According to doctors, the 53-year-old
patient was admitted to the hospital in 

00:00:14.064 --> 00:00:15.968 
critical condition, with cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation. 

00:00:16.328 --> 00:00:18.373 
The patient was given emergency
resuscitation to stop circulation, the 

00:00:18.373 --> 00:00:20.828 
electric squirrel broke the vibration
and after 22 minutes the pulse returned. 

00:00:21.108 --> 00:00:24.079 
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old patient was
still conscious but suffered from 

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.348 
hearing loss, kidney damage and acute
kidney failure, requiring blood filtration. 

00:00:27.348 --> 00:00:30.057 
According to information from the
family, the patient and his relatives 

00:00:30.057 --> 00:00:32.028 
had previously drunk white wine of unknown origin. 

00:00:32.348 --> 00:00:34.848 
Among these, two patients drank about 200ml. 

00:00:35.208 --> 00:00:38.670 
Visiting and treating patients, Dr.
Nguyen Trung Nguyen, director of the 

00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:41.188 
Poison Control Center of
Bach Mai Hospital, said, 

00:00:41.528 --> 00:00:44.879 
the results of inspection and testing
determined that the alcohol contained 

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:46.708 
toxic substances, not industrial alcohol methanol. 

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:51.915 
That focus is on inspections and tests,
currently no causes are seen, but it is 

00:00:51.915 --> 00:00:53.620 
definitely a type of chemical, 

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:59.240 
we can't make a chemical inside what's
called alcohol that patients have drunk. 

00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:04.630 
And this is not industrial methanol
alcohol, but it is another type 

00:01:04.630 --> 00:01:06.140 
of chemical, likely glycols. 

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.038 
This is just a guess about our
orientation, but in fact in Vietnam 

00:01:11.038 --> 00:01:15.320 
today, there is no basis that can test
glycol in human blood. 

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:19.690 
There are currently many types of glycol
on the market, possibly ethylene glycol, 

00:01:19.690 --> 00:01:22.380 
D-ethylene glycol, and many
other types of glycol. 

00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:28.165 
So the types of glycol it causes damage
are like this, firstly, at first it also 

00:01:28.165 --> 00:01:31.518 
grinds like drinking alcohol, the
initial effect is like alcohol, 

00:01:31.518 --> 00:01:32.860 
but it is lighter. 

00:01:32.860 --> 00:01:38.320 
The following days, many hours later it
turns into toxins, acids in the body, 

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:39.880 
it turns into acids, 

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.300 
and it damages organs, damages
kidneys, damages nerves. 

00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:49.900 
Brain damage, nerve damage, kidney
failure nucleus damage, metachemical 

00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.480 
damage, brain damage, paralysis damage,
all kinds of things. 

00:01:54.983 --> 00:01:58.063 
Doctors warned that this is a
particularly serious poison droplet case. 

00:01:58.363 --> 00:02:02.063 
From this incident, advise people to
absolutely not use alcohol of unknown origin. 

00:02:02.063 --> 00:02:06.043 
or alcohols stored for a long time
without controlling the composition 

00:02:06.043 --> 00:02:10.063 
because the risk of severe poisoning can
occur even when the number of drinks is not large.
