During the Spring Festival, many people eat and drink uncontrollably, entertain all night, smoke and drink continuously, and the consequence is that the disease comes to the door.
On February 5, Jimu News reporters interviewed major hospitals in Jiangcheng and learned that due to the cold weather during the Spring Festival this year, in addition to causing acute myocardial infarction to enter a high incidence period, the number of carbon monoxide poisoning patients caused by fire heating has also increased compared with previous years.
It is cold and the fire is warmed, and the number of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning increases
"Since the New Year, every day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., our hyperbaric oxygen chamber has not stopped." On February 3, Hu Ying, director of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Wuhan Sixth Hospital (Affiliated Hospital of Jianghan University), told Jimu News that many of the patients were patients with carbon monoxide poisoning.
She introduced that on the first day of the Chinese New Year alone, a total of 50 patients in the department underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Of the 20 new patients on the day, 18 were carbon monoxide poisoning patients.
Patients with carbon monoxide poisoning are basically poisoned due to indoor charcoal fire heating. "Among the patients received in the past few days, the most distressing is a family of four, a couple and two daughters from Xinzhou. They roasted a fire at home to keep warm, and the next morning when relatives came to visit the New Year, they found that no one in the house answered, only to find that they were poisoned. Hu Ying said sadly that the couple had no vital signs when they were found, and the two daughters were in their mid-twenties and are currently rescued in the hospital, and the degree of poisoning is not light.
She pointed out that during the Spring Festival, the temperature is low and the humidity is relatively large, and some people will choose to use charcoal fires for heating. She appealed that everyone must pay attention to safety while keeping warm, it is best not to use an open fire for heating indoors, if you use charcoal fire, you must maintain air circulation, do not close the environment, "only the window to open a small slit is not enough, you need to open the window to open the door, so that the air to form convection." ”
The weather continued to be severe, and acute myocardial infarction entered a high incidence period
During the Spring Festival holiday, the reunion dinner bureau was one after another, playing cards day and night, coupled with the severe cold weather, acute myocardial infarction entered a high incidence period.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Jimu News reporter came to the emergency center of Wuhan University Zhongnan Hospital to visit, according to the doctor on duty, compared with previous years, Chinese New Year's Eve to the first two days of the New Year, there were fewer drunk people, but this year the weather was cold, and the number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases continued to show a small peak.
It is understood that in the three days before the Spring Festival holiday of the Chest Pain Center of Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital, more than 80 patients with chest pain were treated, including more than 30 patients with acute myocardial infarction and aortic dissection. On Chinese New Year's Eve alone, Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital received and treated 11 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 4 patients with emergency large blood vessel dissection. Li Bei, deputy director of the emergency department and chest pain center, said that cold weather, the impact of bad living habits and the long-term delay of chest pain are the main causes of acute myocardial infarction or dissection.
Director Li Bei reminded that during the Spring Festival, it is very important to eat moderately and drink moderately, and each meal should not be too full; try to avoid staying up late and develop a good work and rest law; do a good job of keeping warm when going out, while maintaining a peaceful attitude, and do not get too excited and excited when gathering, especially for the elderly with heart disease. In addition to staying up late to eat and drink, we must be vigilant against the distress signal sent by the heart and pay attention to preventing the onset of myocardial infarction. Once chest pain, chest tightness, panic, shortness of breath, dial 120 in time for medical treatment, do not delay treatment with the excuse of "wait and see" and "New Year hospitalization is unlucky", thus causing life danger.
Children have a high incidence of eye trauma, and parents should pay attention everywhere
Watching the neighbor boy play with firecrackers, 1 and a half-year-old boy Hao Hao (pseudonym) unfortunately was poked in the right eye by the incense of the firecracker. On February 4, recalling the scene at that time, Haohao's mother, Ms. Liu, was still in shock.
Hao Hao (pseudonym) lives in Hanchuan, on February 3, when the neighbor boy set off firecrackers, Hao Hao went over to look, and the neighbor boy waved his hand and lit the firecracker incense poke Hao Hao's right eye. Hao Hao burst into tears on the spot, and Hao Hao's mother, Ms. Liu, rushed to find that Hao Hao's right eye could not be opened, and opened Hao Hao's eyes to check and found that there were gray spots on his eyeballs. Ms. Liu hurriedly sent Hao Hao to the local hospital, and carried out emergency treatment such as flushing and cleaning that night.
Worried that it would affect the child's vision, the next morning, the family took Hao Hao to the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University for examination. Dr. Chen Xiangxi, deputy chief physician of the eye surface and cornea specialty of the hospital, received Hao Hao, and through examination, he found that hao Hao had three white scars on his cornea, but fortunately, the center of the pupil was not injured through observation. However, due to Haohao's young age, it is still impossible to detect accurate vision, and he can only wait until he grows up to see if there is an impact on his vision to determine whether further treatment is needed. At present, Hao Hao's condition requires anti-inflammatory treatment to promote corneal recovery.
"I also received a 6-year-old child before, he and his friends played with firecrackers, because there was no explosion after ignition, so he looked closely, and when he looked down, the firecrackers suddenly exploded, resulting in serious injuries to his eyes and face. Although the eyeball was saved after full treatment, the vision was almost lost, which is very regrettable. Chen Xiangxi introduced that adolescents and children have strong curiosity, joy, strong imitation and other characteristics, and young children have a poor sense of self-protection and are more likely to be harmed by trauma.
Chen Xiangxi reminded that the Spring Festival is the time for children to enjoy the holiday and play happily, when they get together to play with toys and fireworks, if they do not pay attention, it is easy to hurt their own or others' eyes, causing eye contusions, and even eyeball rupture, retinal detachment, etc., resulting in serious loss of vision, therefore, parents should keep their children away from dangerous toys or objects.
