According to reports, a 60-year-old man in Zhumadian, Henan Province, accidentally drank 500 ml of car antifreeze after work, and his blood had coagulated like jelly when he was rescued in the hospital, and finally, the man died due to liver and kidney failure, ineffective treatment.
Zhao Yifan, Resident Physician, Department of Emergency Internal Medicine, First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province: "In life, we may mistakenly take or drink something that looks like drinking water or sports drinks, but after drinking it by mistake, it may cause some damage to our body. ”
According to reports, the main component of the vast majority of antifreeze on the market is ethylene glycol, and accidental ingestion incidents occur from time to time. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet viscous liquid, and some people think they are drinking a drink when they take it by mistake.
In fact, incidents of mistaking chemical agents such as antifreeze have occurred frequently in various places. The reporter interviewed at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province and learned that the emergency department has also encountered many cases of accidentally drinking toxic liquids.
Zhao Yifan, Resident Physician, Department of Emergency Internal Medicine, First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province: "For example, the examples we have seen in the emergency department are: some people drink the 84 disinfectant diluted after using the leftovers as drinking mineral water, some people will drink the water in the facial cleanser box, and some patients may drink gasoline by mistake, for example. ”
Zhao Yifan, Resident Physician, Department of Emergency Internal Medicine, First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province: "Take the first example as an example, after we drink 84 disinfectant by mistake, because the main component of 84 disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which is a strong alkaline substance, drinking it may produce severe abdominal pain, respiratory irritation, severe cough, and even some other digestive tract symptoms, such as diarrhea, and may even cause an acute gastrointestinal perforation." ”
The doctor reminds that according to the different components of the liquid accidentally drunk, the body may have different reactions, so everyone should first be vigilant, beware of accidental eating, if it is really unfortunate to eat by mistake, once the body has any discomfort, you should immediately go to the hospital, and bring the mistaken liquid or bottle, according to the doctor's advice to take professional emergency treatment.
