On the day of the incident, the family appeared at the “Dawang Road Station” subway around 10 a.m. From the CCTV footage of the scene, it can be seen that the princess in black was pushing a stroller and taking the escalator to the lower level; while the man in a blue shirt and trousers stands to the side in front of the stroller, looking at his wife and his wife above.Beibei.
But when she was almost close to the ground, the stroller suddenly got stuck and turned over, the princess and Beibei fell on the escalator at the same time.

After the police arrived at the scene after receiving the report, out of caution, they asked the maintenance staff to disassemble the elevator for inspection. “The child’s parents thought it was just a skin injury. After the escalator was dismantled, the maintenance staff found a piece of tissue suspected to be the child’s finger.” The police immediately took Beibei away. He was sent to hospital for emergency treatment, while some police officers remained at the scene and worked with other staff to search for Beibei boy with a broken finger.
In the end, the repair workers were able to find the broken finger after dismantling the elevator “The finger was less than one centimeter in diameter and was seriously contaminated.” In order not to delay the operation to reattach the baby’s severed finger, the police officers took advantage of the time and immediately wrapped the severed finger in sterile gloves before taking him to hospital by car .
2 hospitals refused admission
At 11:12 am, police officers, Beibei and her family arrived at the first hospital. However, due to the small size of the babies’ fingers, the number of additional operations would increase greatly, so the hospital refused. “There’s no other way to deal with him at the moment. We can only use an emergency bandage (for Beibei) first.” 30 minutes later, everyone rushed to the second hospital. Unexpectedly, the hospital also refused to perform surgery on Beibei for the same reason, but recommended another hospital with better conditions.
At 12:26 noon, everyone hurriedly arrived at the Beijing Dawang Road Emergency Rescue Hospital. Fortunately, Beibei was accepted by the hospital this time, and the operation to reattach the broken finger was also successful. The policemen who accompanied the child to different hospitals were very happy after learning the good news After half a month of rehabilitation treatment, Beibei’s injury gradually stabilized.

In this regard, local police pointed out that accidents where strollers overturn in escalators are not uncommon. They reminded parents who were pushing strollers to use lifts instead of escalators. If they have to use escalators or stairs, they should lift the child directly while another adult is responsible for lifting the stroller.
Reattachment surgery is a race against time, and the amputated leg can last up to 6 hours at room temperature.
There are approximately 30 to 50 cases of limb replantation in Hong Kong each year. The surgical process is laborious The limb replantation team of the New Territories Eastern Hospital Cluster has carried out limb replantation operations on more than 200 patients, giving hesitant injured people a new operation. life.
Dr Ho Pai-cheong, head of the department of trauma and orthopedic surgery at the Prince of Wales Hospital, said that once 233 surgeries were carried out between 2003 and 2018, with a success rate of 70%, and 80% of the patients were able to return to w jobs before the injury. He also shared that in his early years the right palm of an elevator worker was torn off by an elevator. After the accident, he waited for rescue with unusual calmness and personally picked the broken limb. . It turns out that only his wife was pregnant when the accident happened, and he thinks about saving his hand.
Dr Ho said bluntly that the structure of the hand is delicate and complex. There are more than 20 groups of small muscles, 27 bones, and countless tendons, blood vessels and nerves in just one palm. The vessels are blood in the fingers as small as 0.2 mm, which is very important to the doctor. He said it was a big test, “The thread that connects the blood vessels in the finger is smaller than a hair. It is difficult, but you can do it if you have the will.”
He described the association as facing many difficulties. The biggest challenge was crush injuries or avulsions, and he had to race against time. Otherwise, if the ischemic time is too long, the muscles will die: “A general amputated limb can last for 6 hours at room temperature; If it is put in the refrigerator, it can be extended to 12 to 30 hours, otherwise muscles, cells, etc. will become necrotic.
