November 20 is "Myocardial Infarction Day". Acute myocardial infarction, first aid 120, life saving, death... What do these concepts mean for an 8-year-old? Can he understand? Does he understand? There is an 8-year-old little boy in Qingdao, after the grandmother suddenly had an acute heart attack late one night, there was no panic at this age, but instead showed unexpected wit and calmness in a critical moment, and called the "120" emergency phone in time to save Grandma's life! This is a real case received at Qingdao Fuwai Hospital not long ago, and the little boy's "amazing move" surprised all the medical staff present. Zhang Shuwen, the chief surgeon of cardiology, sighed in the circle of friends, "This 8-year-old child let me see the effectiveness of popularizing first aid knowledge in society and schools, see the achievements of modern education, and see the hope for the future of the country!" ”

The experiencer of the story is Zhang Shuwen, attending physician of the Department of Cardiology of Qingdao Fuwai Hospital. "The night of the incident was late at night, I was woken up by the rapid ringing of the mobile phone, picked up the mobile phone stunned, looked out the window is still dark, suddenly reacted that this is not an alarm clock, it is the second line of cardiology is calling." Quickly picked up the phone, after a brief communication learned that there was a patient with an elevated myocardial infarction who needed to get on the stage immediately, quickly get dressed, drive to the car, all the way to the green light, and rushed to the hospital in less than five minutes. According to Zhang Shuwen's recollection, just after entering the catheterization room, other members of the emergency team came to their respective posts and immediately notified the emergency department to send patients. After the second line came to the catheterization room, he quickly reported the condition with everyone: the patient was a 65-year-old woman with a history of hypertension for more than 10 years, chest pain for half an hour and was admitted to the hospital, and the electrocardiogram suggested extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction, no surgical contraindications, and needed to be rescued immediately by green channel. While listening to the report, everyone skillfully disinfected, covered, punctured, and contrasted, and the results confirmed that the proximal end of the anterior descending branch was 99% narrow. Immediately replace the finger guide tube, guide wire, through the lesion into the distal end, balloon pre-dilation, implantation stent, all the actions in one go, the patient's moaning stopped, from irritability to quiet, everyone's nervous mood gradually relaxed.

In the process of bandaging and removing the stage, Zhang Shuwen curiously asked the old man whether the family had become a doctor and how did he come to the hospital so quickly? After all, there are not many people who can rush to the hospital in such a short period of time. Before this, many emergency patients were in real pain at home, or waited until dawn, or fainted and lost consciousness before coming to the hospital. The old man in front of him was unusual, thanks to the emergency medical evacuation, the rescue was very smooth.

At this time, the old man's chest pain eased, and the medical staff in the operating room also opened the conversation box. She said that the family did not work as a doctor, and she wanted to thank her 8-year-old grandson, who dialed "120" in time to send himself to the hospital. As soon as these words came out, they stunned everyone. Just when everyone was surprised, she also said that usually the children are busy at work, often working overtime and not at home, most of the time is to take care of their grandchildren's living, and at night they also sleep with their grandchildren. On the night of the onset of the disease, only she and her grandson were at home, suddenly severe chest pain appeared in sleep, the grandson was also woken up by himself, and the symptoms did not ease after twenty minutes, and the 8-year-old grandson decisively picked up the phone and dialed "120". Afterwards, he called his father to inform him of his grandmother's condition, and when his father learned of it, he rushed to the hospital to rush to the hospital.

After the operation, Zhang Shuwen paid special attention to the old man, and rechecked the cardiac ultrasound 3 times in 10 days of hospitalization, all of which suggested that the heart function was not affected, thanks to her timely medical treatment.

This incident made Zhang Shuwen quite emotional, "Popularizing first aid knowledge is really practical and necessary, whether adults or children, this child's behavior is worth learning from everyone!" ”

November 20 is the "Myocardial Infarction Treatment Day", and the understanding of cardiovascular diseases at the social level is not deep enough, and the science popularization has a long way to go. According to reports, cardiovascular disease has accounted for the first place in China's disease mortality rate, and China's cardiovascular disease patients have reached 330 million. In every 5 adults, 1 in 5 adults suffer from cardiovascular disease. In every 13 people with cardiovascular disease, 1 has a myocardial infarction. These shocking figures are enough to arouse enough public alarm. In order to improve the public's awareness of prevention and popularize the standardized treatment process of acute myocardial infarction, China has determined November 20 every year as the "myocardial infarction treatment day", calling on everyone to remember the "two 120": one is to call the 120 emergency telephone in time after the onset of the disease, and the other is to grasp the golden treatment for 120 minutes to reduce the fatality rate and disability rate of myocardial infarction. This year marks the eighth Chinese Heart Attack Day.

Myocardial infarction has become the "number one killer" in human cardiovascular diseases, and the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction often causes great harm to the human body in a short period of time, especially in autumn and winter, and the number of myocardial infarction patients has increased significantly. In addition, today, myocardial infarction is no longer the patent of the elderly, and the incidence of young and middle-aged people is increasing year by year. Therefore, in today's society where the pace of life is accelerating, doctors remind everyone to pay special attention to their hearts, restrain bad habits, and always be vigilant against physical abnormalities.

Acute myocardial infarction is mainly myocardial necrosis caused by acute, persistent ischemia and hypoxia of the coronary arteries. Typical symptoms are persistent retrosternal pain, squeezed, contracted, radiating to the teeth, jaw, left upper extremity, shoulders, back, etc., sometimes accompanied by nausea, dizziness, sweating, palpitations or shortness of breath, and even a sense of near death. Atypical symptoms include a feeling of suffocation, feeling breathless, heavy weights pressed on the chest, tight throat, pain in the upper abdomen, etc.

Grasp the "first pass" of rescue. Once chest pain occurs, it may be that the body is calling for help, and the first barrier to rescue is in the hands of the patient himself. Once chest pain and chest tightness persist for more than 15 minutes, taking heart-saving pills can not be relieved, and the possibility of acute myocardial infarction should be highly suspected, and when acute myocardial infarction is suspected, please remember to ask for help. Immediate call to 120 for help; immediate cessation of activity, immediate bed rest or lying flat on the ground; active control of nervousness; and oxygen if possible.

How to properly dial the 120 emergency number? Remember that the call for help is simple and clear, mainly informing the following: the detailed address of the onset of the disease; name, gender, age; the most critical situation at present, such as fainting on the ground, severe pain in the precordial area, whether there is difficulty breathing, the time of onset, the previous medical history, etc.

Dial the 120 emergency number while placing the patient in place to rest quietly and relax as much as possible; patients with a history of angina as usual can immediately take nitroglycerin under the tongue in the absence of hypotension; family members carry previous medical records and accompany closely; those who have the ability can inhale oxygen.

In addition, experts also reminded that acute myocardial infarction events are very dangerous, mainly because they can cause serious arrhythmias, which in turn can lead to cardiac arrest. When sudden loss of consciousness and the heartbeat and breathing stop, correct and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be taken immediately, and 120 should be dialed at the same time. The earlier the CPR start, the higher the probability that the patient will be rescued.
