During this time, the weather is getting colder, and many people will choose to take a bath in the bathroom, which is warm and pleasant. However, experts remind that bathing for a long time can also bring dangers.
The reporter learned in the emergency department of the Fourth People's Hospital of Taizhou City that a few days ago, a sixty-year-old man died because he "fainted" when he was soaking in the bath: "After falling into the pool, he was found and sent to the hospital. ”
It is understood that the unfortunate death of the elderly because of the bath "halo" has occurred from time to time in recent years.
Doctors remind that for some elderly people with underlying medical conditions, make sure that the body is in good condition before bathing. When you have just finished eating, just finished taking medicine or feel sleepy, physical weakness, dizziness and nausea, try not to bathe, so as not to aggravate the symptoms in a humid and hot environment: "Especially in the bathroom, the temperature is relatively high, his blood vessels will expand, and then the blood supply in the brain is relatively small, and the general bathroom is not too ventilated, and the oxygen content is very low." ”
Doctors recommend that the elderly with underlying medical conditions take a bath, it is best to be accompanied by a family member, and pay attention to anti-slip and anti-fall. When the elderly take a bath by themselves, the movement should be soothing, stand up slowly, and rest for about 30 minutes after bathing.
