At 19:29 on May 22, 2026, a gas explosion occurred underground at Shanxi Tongzhou Group Jingxin Yu Coal Industry Co., Ltd. in Qinyuan County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, causing significant casualties. At present, the rescue work of the accident is still under intense pressure, and the injured have been sent to the hospital for treatment.

All rescued individuals have been sent to the hospital for treatment

Qinyuan County People's Hospital is one of the sites for the treatment of the injured in the Qinyuan coal mine gas explosion accident. The hospital has set up a separate ward for the treatment of the injured. At present, the rescue work is underway. At present, all the injured in the well have been sent to the hospital for treatment. Qinyuan County People's Hospital currently admits a total of 27 patients, including 1 severe case and 26 minor injuries.

Develop targeted treatment plans

According to the doctors involved in the treatment, since early this morning, the injured have been sent to this hospital for treatment one after another. Some of the injured have returned home on their own after being examined and found to be safe. At present, hospitals have adopted targeted treatment based on the different conditions of the injured patients who are hospitalized, with each patient receiving their own treatment plan.

Due to the fact that the injured were mainly injured by toxic gases, the most important treatment method currently is high-pressure oxygen therapy, mainly aimed at preventing the occurrence of delayed encephalopathy. At the same time, there are also psychologists providing psychological counseling to the injured. Keywords: Engineering Construction, Construction News, Engineering Information

Minor injury patients can eat independently

26 mildly injured individuals are in stable physical condition and are now able to eat and move freely on their own. Some mild patients have reported experiencing dizziness and require continuous oxygen therapy for consolidation. The only critically ill patient is being monitored and treated in the ICU, and currently their vital signs are stable with no signs of deterioration. The injured in this accident were dispersed and treated in four medical institutions in the city and county. Subsequently, all hospitalized patients will be transferred to provincial and municipal tertiary hospitals for more comprehensive examinations and refined treatment. At the same time, for the miners who left the hospital on their own before, relevant departments will conduct follow-up visits one by one, carry out re examination and verification work, and comprehensively ensure the health of personnel.Editor/Gong Ziwei
