A 10-year-old boy has been rescued after his left hand became trapped in a noodle-making machine at a shop in Koh Kaew Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phuket Province.

 

The incident occurred around 12:35 on 9 July, when the Kusoldharm Foundation’s emergency response centre in Phuket received an urgent call from the Andaman Narenthorn Centre (1669) requesting assistance. The report stated that a child’s hand was stuck inside noodle-processing equipment at a local noodle shop.

 

Rescue personnel from the Koh Kaew Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, together with an advanced EMS team from Mission Hospital Phuket, were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the young boy, identified only as “Master B” (name withheld for privacy), conscious but visibly distressed. His left hand was tightly wedged in the noodle-making apparatus.

 

Medical staff from Mission Hospital provided initial treatment, including pain management and IV fluid administration, while waiting for rescue workers to arrive. Fortunately, after a careful assessment, rescuers determined that hydraulic cutting tools were not necessary. Instead, they were able yo manually rotated the machine’s pulley system to release the boy’s hand.

 

The rescue operation took approximately 20 minutes. Once freed, it was discovered that several of the boy’s fingers were fractured and lacerated. He was given immediate first aid at the scene before being transported to Vachira Phuket Hospital for further treatment.
