10 people were rushed to the hospital in one night, which can be fatal in serious cases!

During the Spring Festival,

All kinds of gatherings and dinners began to increase,

The dining table has become the place with the strongest flavor of the New Year.

A table of dishes, a group of friends and family, a few bottles of wine,

It can be lively in an instant.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking and laughing,

In a lively party atmosphere,

Quite a few people accidentally get drunk.

Recently, the number of drunk citizens in the emergency department of Yiwu Central Hospital in Zhejiang Province has increased significantly compared with usual, and drunk citizens will "visit" almost every day, and at most 10 people come in one night. Two days ago, Mr. Li (pseudonym) was sent to the emergency room of the Central Hospital by his colleagues. At the company's annual meeting, Mr. Li, who had a good amount of alcohol, took turns to win white wine, red wine and beer, and drank it simply and boldly. Although he drank it with pleasure, he soon became confused and vomited unconscious. Upon arrival at the hospital, Mr. Li was unconscious and was found to have a high blood alcohol level of 265mg/100ml. Looking at the reddened data on the inspection report and Mr. Li's flushed face, the colleagues who came together were a little embarrassed, "Brother Li drank very simply, and he drank too much at once." Fu Qingyang, deputy director and deputy chief physician of the emergency department, said that in recent times, there has been a significant increase in patients with acute alcohol poisoning like Mr. Li, mostly concentrated in the first half of the night, mostly male, manifested by varying degrees of excitement and agitation, loss of restraint, abnormal behavior, polyglot and slurred pronunciation, movement and gait disorders, drowsiness, and in severe cases, stupor, coma.

Doctor reminds

Aspiration after drunken vomiting is extremely dangerous, and it is easy to die due to suffocation, and patients who vomit or have a tendency to nausea or vomiting are preferred to be in the lateral decubitus position, and try to be accompanied by someone when resting or being sent to the hospital, and help the drunk person clean up the vomit in time. Here, he also solemnly reminded that we must be vigilant against the holiday disease caused by drinking, and drinking is cool for a while, but there is no luck in health!

Drinking during the Spring Festival, what misunderstandings should not be stepped on, and which medicines should not be eaten together?

Regarding the cognition of drinking, Dr. Xiang Fengxiang from the Department of Substance Dependence of Chengdu Fourth People's Hospital pointed out several misunderstandings that everyone is easy to step into:

Myth 1: People with blushing face are better able to drink

Alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, which needs the liver to provide alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which metabolize alcohol to acetaldehyde and then to acetic acid. If the human body has low acetaldehyde dehydrogenase content or insufficient enzyme activity, and cannot quickly convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid, it will increase the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body, and people will have "aldehyde reactions" such as flushing, vasodilation, palpitations, dizziness, and headaches. Therefore, people who drink alcohol and blush are not more able to drink, but even less able to drink.

Myth 2: Good alcohol is not easy to get addicted

Regardless of whether the wine is good or bad, in terms of composition alone, the main ingredient is alcohol. Alcohol addiction is medically called alcohol dependence, which refers to the special psychological state of the human body thirst for alcohol caused by long-term and repeated drinking, and there will be special physical and psychological reactions after stopping drinking. Therefore, whether it is easy to become addicted has nothing to do with the quality of alcohol, but with the frequency and amount of drinking.

Myth 3: There is no harm in mixing drinks with alcohol

White wine to Red Bull, red wine to Sprite, beer to Coke...... All kinds of mixes and matches, endlessly. The collision of wine and drink can improve the taste and add some sweetness to the otherwise astringent wine, but it is also easy to feel that you are not drinking too much alcohol and will drink too much if you are not careful.

At the same time, the addition of alcohol to beverages increases the amount of fluid in the stomach, and the alcohol is more likely to enter the intestines under the impetus of the liquid, and the absorption of alcohol in the body happens to be the small intestine. Therefore, drinking alcohol in this way will increase the body's absorption rate of alcohol, and it is easier to get drunk.

Myth 4: Strong tea can relieve hangover

The tea polyphenols, caffeine, and theophylline in strong tea have a diuretic effect, which is easy to promote acetaldehyde that has not yet been decomposed into acetic acid to enter the kidneys prematurely, resulting in kidney damage. At the same time, the above-mentioned substances can stimulate the central nervous system and muscles, stimulate the dilation of blood vessels, speed up blood circulation, increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, and may induce hypertension. Therefore, drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol causes many times more harm to the body than drinking alcohol alone.

Myth 5: Drinking alcohol is good for falling asleep.

It is true that drinking small amounts of alcohol before bed makes it easier to fall asleep, but heavy alcohol consumption can lead to central depression, prolonging sleep onset latency and reducing total sleep time. Studies have shown that alcohol often disrupts REM sleep time, disrupting normal sleep rhythms and resulting in reduced sleep duration.

In addition, "cephalosporin with wine, just go", Dr. Zhang Xiaohong of the emergency department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital said, this is not a joke, every year during the Spring Festival there are patients who come to the hospital due to excessive alcohol and drinking after taking medicine, this is because post-cephalosporin drinking can cause "disulfiram-like reaction".

According to Dr. Zhang Xiaohong of the Emergency Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, not only cephalosporin, but also some drugs have similar effects to disulfiram, such as antibiotics such as azithromycin and metronidazole, antihyperglycemic drugs such as metformin, antidepressants and some Chinese patent medicines. At the same time, attention should also be paid to identifying whether some foods contain alcohol.
