According to fire and police reports on the 4th, at around 8:40 a.m., a 40-year-old man, Mr. B, who was undergoing a health checkup at Hospital A in Guro-gu, Seoul, was reported to have experienced respiratory distress and cardiac arrest during a sleep endoscopy examination.

Patient B exhibited symptoms of difficulty breathing and decreased oxygen saturation during a sleep endoscopy examination.

The fire department immediately requested police cooperation upon receiving the report. Paramedics performed CPR on Mr. B and transported him to a general hospital in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Mr. B is currently receiving treatment in the emergency room but is in a state of unconsciousness. Earlier, a man in his 60s who underwent a colonoscopy at a clinic in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, passed away.

 

In April of last year, a man in his 60s, identified as Mr. A, was found in cardiac arrest while in the recovery room after a sleep colonoscopy at a clinic in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk. Subsequently, Mr. A was transferred to a general hospital in Yeongcheon, Gyeongbuk, but he passed away about two hours later.
