00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Less than 6 hours before the new year,
00:07but until now, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 has increased
00:11compared to the last meeting.
00:13Hospitals are now ready for those who will be infected,
00:16as well as for those who have other common diseases.
00:21For example, high blood pressure from the Tondo Medical Center.
00:24This is Sandra Aguinaldo, Sandra.
00:31Vicky Emil, in the latest DOH report,
00:34the total number of firecracker-related injuries is now at 188
00:40since December 22.
00:42We visited several hospitals
00:45and we learned that not only the victims of firecrackers
00:48are being prepared.
00:54Even if the year does not change,
00:56the total number of firecrackers reported by the East Avenue Medical Center
01:01since December 21 is now at 120.
01:03300% higher than last year
01:06when only three were reported.
01:08One of the victims is a 61-year-old woman
01:12who had a second-degree burn on December 29.
01:16The victim was making a whistle-bomb for sale
01:20when it suddenly exploded.
01:22One thing that was noticed by the AAMC
01:24We are seeing more cases of children this year
01:28compared to last year
01:30maybe because of the access of children to firecrackers.
01:34It is one of the things that should be monitored.
01:38Where did they get it from?
01:40At Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center,
01:42the necessary equipment is ready
01:45if a firecracker explodes in the hand
01:47and other parts of the body.
01:49Mostly, after cleaning,
01:51we need to remove the flesh or small bones.
01:55So we can use these instruments,
01:58the ronjur or curette instruments.
02:01And then we also have external fixators here.
02:05These are what we put in the bones
02:09to fixate the bones and align them.
02:13And to apply external fixators,
02:15we will put and use these drills.
02:18At present, the total number of firecracker-related injuries
02:21in the hospital is 17.
02:24But according to the hospital,
02:26there are also a lot of cases of high blood pressure,
02:29stroke, heart attack, and others during this time.
02:32Maybe because of the excessive consumption of prohibited foods.
02:37So my advice is to do everything in moderation.
02:40Our health is also our priority.
02:43At the Tondo Medical Center,
02:45there are 7 reported firecracker victims since December 21,
02:49and it is expected that there will be more in the new year.
02:53The number of illegal firecrackers is high,
02:56including King Kong, Five Star, and Boga.
02:59The patient who was hit by Boga
03:01suffered from two strokes and sprains.
03:03According to the DOH, as of 6 a.m. this morning,
03:07there are already 188 reported firework-related injuries.
03:1252% higher than in 2023,
03:15where 124 cases were reported.
03:18But aside from that,
03:19the Tondo Medical Center also received patients who were in accidents
03:24and were hit by firecrackers.
03:26Many of them were drunk.
03:28There are also a lot of alcohol-related injuries.
03:31There were vehicular accidents.
03:34Sadly, we have a lot of gunshot injuries.
03:39Almost all are alcohol-intoxication-related.
03:50Emil, this one behind me is close to the ER,
03:54but this is for the victims of firecrackers.
04:00From where I am standing,
04:02we can already hear that there are a lot of firecrackers
04:05outside the compound of the hospital.
04:07The doctors' advice is to avoid firecrackers,
04:10but if you are a victim,
04:12don't self-medicate and go to the hospital immediately.
04:16That is the last report from Tondo.
04:19Emil?
04:20Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
