According to the statistics of The Emergency Center of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province
Within 24 hours on the first day of this year's National Day holiday, the center received 21 alarms from alcohol poisoning patients! About twice as much as on a non-holiday! This is not to mention that Zhu Feng, deputy chief physician of the Emergency Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University School of Medicine, who was sent to the hospital by non-ambulance, received 4 patients with complications caused by drinking alcohol in a single shift from 1:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on October 1! Today is the first day of New Year's Day
Friends and family will inevitably party and drink, but be careful
A 50-year-old man came to Ningbo to look for a job
I had a drink and never woke up...
The following are the "not drinking unpleasant" people that Dr. Zhu has encountered in the emergency department for many years. Lao Wang (pseudonym), 45 years old. After drinking half a kilogram of liquor at dinner that night, he collapsed on the bed and kept vomiting, and accidentally choked into his lungs. After being sent to the emergency department by his family, he was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and ultra-low oxygen saturation. Doctors say that if vomit blocks the main bronchi, breathing and heartbeat can disappear instantly.
Xiao Li (pseudonym), undergraduate. After drinking heavily with classmates during holiday activities, the incessant vomiting caused the cardia to tear, and the same vomit was inhaled into the lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia, causing empyema and mediastinal pneumothorax. Staying in the ICU for more than ten days, my mother couldn't believe how drinking could be like this.
Daguan (pseudonym), in his early 30s, full-time driver. Because of my work, I rarely drink alcohol. Finally, I had no business for a day, and I drank hi with my brother. As a result, before he could return to his home, he was sent to the emergency department by his brother because he was flustered and uncomfortable, and he was delirious when he first arrived at the rescue room. Fortunately, the doctor caught the golden 4 minutes of rescue and finally pulled him back from the lifeline. The doctor said that this is hypokalemia caused by drinking alcohol, which further causes malignant heart rate abnormalities, and if you come one step late, you will die.
Small hole (pseudonym), 20 years old. Found unconscious lying on the lawn downstairs from home, he was sent to the emergency room by 120. The next day woke up, found that he could move, just about to leave, remembered that he did not bring the key to the house, so he recalled the "absurdity" of the previous night - he and his friends drank until they were happy, the footsteps were unstable, they went home to find that they did not have the key, they went from the balcony of the next door neighbor's house, tried to climb over the wall to enter their balcony, and as a result, they stepped on the air, fell from the 5th floor, and fell into the lawn. After the doctor listened, he further examined and found that he had a fracture of the thoracic vertebrae, hemopsynes, and lung contusions. He was eventually hospitalized for more than half a month.
Lao Yang (pseudonym), more than 50 years old, traveled from Guizhou to Ningbo to find a job. Before looking for a job, arrange the wine with your friends. As a result, excessive alcohol consumption induced cerebral hemorrhage, half of the limb was unable to move, and he fell into the pit when he went home alone. When he was found to be sent to the emergency department by the police station, he had already experienced stress ulcers caused by drinking alcohol and gastrointestinal bleeding. Unlike Xiao Kong's luck in escaping death, Lao Yang never woke up again.
Vomiting after drinking should be extra vigilant in these two situations!
The two most common drinking complications in the hospital's emergency department are vomit choking into the lungs to cause aspiration pneumonia, decreased oxygen saturation, and vomiting causing cardia tearing, gastrointestinal bleeding, alcohol poisoning, and alcohol trauma. Doctors remind that alcohol is still trying to drink as little as possible, especially those who have underlying diseases, liver diseases, stomach diseases and allergies to alcohol, be sure to drink with caution, and do not drink alcohol during some medications, such as the week before and after taking cephalosporin, and during the period of taking hypertension drugs.
If people around you vomit frequently after drinking alcohol, be on the lookout for two situations:
First, if he is sleepy, be sure to adjust his posture to ensure that when he vomits, the head is tilted to one side or the head is lowered, do not lie flat, beware of vomit choking into the trachea or lungs;
The second is to pay attention to the color of his vomit, if you drink white wine and other light-colored wine, vomit with coffee or red liquid, there may be gastrointestinal bleeding, be sure to seek medical treatment in time, if you drink red wine, it is difficult to judge, it is recommended to be safe, but also sent to the doctor for judgment.
