Mexican paramedics found themselves as the targets of intense criticism after video surfaced of them dropping a donor heart as they rushed to a hospital to deliver the precious organ for a transplant.

The heart was being transported by private jet and helicopter to reach the intended recipient in Mexico City, according to The Guardian. As the medics departed the helicopter and were transporting the organ in a wheeled container, one of the two medics tripped, and the heart, wrapped in a polyethylene bag, rolled out of the container and onto the street.

The medic quickly recovered the heart and they continued rushing into the hospital. Mexico's Department of Health confirmed that the heart did indeed reach the hospital, but AP Spanish reports that it is not known whether the heart transplant operation was successful or not.

Whoops! Bumbling medics drop donor heart on floor (but scoop it up and still transplant it into patient)

Bungling medics dropped a donor heart in a city street just yards from the medical centre where a life-saving operation was about to be performed.

Moments after the helicopter transporting the donor organ landed in a Mexico City street a stethoscope-wearing medic jumped from the aircraft assisted by one of the pilots as a patient waited in a nearby hospital.

The doctor was helped by another medic who took control of the blue coolbox used to keep the organ stable and chilled during transport.

It was then that things started to go wrong.

Mexico City police say they used a helicopter to deliver the heart to the hospital in a 'rapid, precision manoeuvre'.

The heart had been flown 450km from Leon, Guanajuanto to the Centro Medico de Enfermedades Reumaticas in Mexico City.

But in the few short steps from the helicopter landing pad to the hospital entrance the two medics managed to topple the wheeled coolbox spilling the plastic-wrapped heart onto the tarmac.

The heart had then to be scooped up from the street, along with the ice and accompanying medical fluids, before it could be used in the complicated procedure.

Only after it had been repacked in ice was it taken inside to the waiting transplant team.

Falcony Rodrigo Lopez, director of the hospital, confirmed to local media that the operation had been a success.

The Health Department confirmed that the recipient was at the hospital during the incident.

Heart transplants are carried out on patients suffering end-stage heart failure or severe coronary artery disease.

A heart deemed suitable for transplantation can survive for between four and six hours if packed in ice for transplantation.
Easy does it: The heart, in the yellow plastic bag, was quickly picked up and shoved back into the ice box before it was taken into the Mexico City hospital to be transplanted. The operation was a success.

捐贈心臟「落地」 電視全程轉播

心臟捐贈手術為了爭取時效,通常在捐贈者死亡後幾小時內必須完成移植,墨西哥日前就有醫護人員為了搶時效,在護送捐贈心臟時,竟然不小心讓心臟從冰櫃裡滾出來掉到馬路上,雖然最後手術還是順利完成,但這起烏龍事件已經成了墨西哥全國笑柄。

一下直升機,醫護人員拉著冰櫃便立刻往前衝,但不知道是默契太差,還是兩人三腳的遊戲沒練好,其中一人突然重心不穩、一腳踢到冰櫃,不過沒摔倒就算了,冰櫃裡的冰塊和生理食鹽水竟然全倒了出來,還有一包黃色塑膠袋也跟著滾出來,裡面包的可不是生鮮冷凍食品,而是一顆準備用來移植的活心臟。

雖然醫師再三保證心臟移植手術很成功,不過把活跳跳的心臟掉在馬路上這一幕,雀透過電視轉播讓全墨西哥人看傻了眼,據了解,這顆捐贈心臟來自瓜納華托省,醫護人員為了搶時效,千里迢迢搭著救護車、噴射機和直升機一路護送心臟來到墨西哥市,完成450公里的旅程。

只是大家萬萬沒想到,只差幾步路就要進醫院的心臟、竟然提前「落地」,讓守在電視機前觀眾的心臟也差點跳出來,最後手術算是順利完成,但醫護人員手忙腳亂在地上撿心臟這一幕,也成了墨西哥人茶餘飯後的一則笑話。(民視新聞綜合報導)
