Love to drink, not exercise, two packs of cigarettes a day... How does he beat time after a cardiac arrest?

Medical staff are rescuing Mr. Luo

According to industry statistics, the mortality rate caused by cardiovascular disease accounts for more than 40% of the deaths of residents, ranking first. Recently, in the inpatient department of the Third Branch of the Chongqing Branch of the Chongqing Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chongqing Municipal People's Hospital), the medical staff received two cases of cardiac arrest within a week, although the patients were successfully rescued, but the process was very tortuous and dangerous...

Mr. Luo, a 56-year-old citizen who has been working in the field for nearly two years, suddenly suffered chest pain and sweating profusely at work on October 17 this year, and immediately went to the local top three hospitals for treatment, and was diagnosed with acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction. Because his coronary blood vessels are thick, the local hospital does not have a suitable stent. After Mr. Luo's chest pain symptoms were alleviated, he rushed back to Chongqing urgently, and the Department of Cardiology of the Third Branch of the Yuzhong Branch of the Municipal People's Hospital was hospitalized for treatment.

On the night of admission, due to the rush of the road and the coronary blood vessels have not yet been implanted with stents, Mr. Luo's condition worsened, and symptoms of heart failure such as shortness of breath and dyspnea occurred, and the medical staff actively corrected the heart failure while contacting the stents that matched his coronary blood vessels, and the next day he underwent coronary angiography and stent implantation. After a week of treatment, Mr. Luo felt basically better and asked to be discharged. "For safety reasons, the doctor in charge asked him to review the Holter to further understand the heart rhythm, see if there is arrhythmia, etc., and if the situation is good, then consider discharging." Li Minfeng, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, recalled.

On the morning that Mr. Luo was about to be discharged from the hospital, he went to review the Holterogram accompanied by his wife, and it was at this time that the dangerous situation occurred. Just as he walked to the elevator entrance next to the electrocardiogram room, he suddenly "banged" and remembered that Mr. Luo was suddenly unconscious and fell to the ground. Not far away, the gastroenterology nurse heard about it and immediately rescued and notified the cardiologist, and the rescue began...

More than 10 people arrived in 2 minutes, more than 40 minutes of uninterrupted chest compression, electrical defibrillation 3 times... Fortunately, with the cooperation of multiple departments, Mr. Luo gradually regained consciousness and was immediately sent to the ICU to continue rescue.

Li Minfeng, chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine who organized the rescue, recalled: "After 35 minutes of continuous rescue, the patient did not recover her heart rate, I saw her helpless eyes when I explained the condition to the patient's lover, and I wanted to never give up on continuing to rescue. ”

"I really thank everyone, there are more than 20 people back and forth to help, I was already six gods and no master." Mr. Luo's wife said.

It is understood that Mr. Luo, who feels that there is nothing wrong with him, actually has high blood pressure, high blood lipids, obesity, etc., and has smoked for nearly 40 years, smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, loving to drink, not loving sports, and these are risk factors for inducing cardiovascular disease. Finally, under the careful treatment of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mr. Luo recently reviewed the Holter ELECTROCARDI again, without chest pain and shortness of breath symptoms, reviewed the indicators to return to normal range, and finally discharged safely.

In the same week of receiving Mr. Luo, the Cardiology Department also received a septuage cardiac arrest, due to the timely discovery and timely rescue with multidisciplinary cooperation, the patients recovered well, but also reflected the high risk of cardiovascular disease.

With the advent of winter, the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases has increased, so Chief Physician Li Minfeng reminded the public: pay attention to keep warm, drink more water, eat lightly, quit smoking and limit alcohol; do not sit for a long time, but the activity should not be too intense; relieve stress, soothe emotions, and ensure adequate sleep; patients who have been diagnosed should standardize medication, regular follow-up, if not adapted to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
