On June 30, local time in Indonesia, Zhang Zhijie suddenly fainted and fell to the ground when he participated in the mixed team group stage of the 2024 Asian Youth Badminton Championships, and then was sent to the hospital to die due to ineffective rescue, which broke the hearts of countless people!
Presumably many people saw the process of Zhang Zhijie falling to the ground and fainting in the game at that time, and we, as ordinary people who do not know professional medical knowledge, will definitely come forward quickly to rescue, but there were unbelievable scenes at that time.
First of all, the coach of the Chinese team stepped forward to check the situation of Zhang Zhijie, who had fallen to the ground and had convulsions, but was stopped by the referee, and it has to be said that this was the first and fastest first aid opportunity missed. When the head coach of the Chinese team saw that the situation was wrong, he decisively called the off-site medical team to enter the field.
When he came to Zhang Zhijie's side, he didn't do cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but to feel the pulse, so amateur I really can't believe that this is the highest level of intercontinental youth competition.
Later, according to the interpretation of professional doctors, Zhang Zhijie's performance of convulsions at that time can almost be concluded to be sudden cardiac arrest, and the only first aid measures at this time are cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of AED (automatic external defibrillator), and the golden time for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and external defibrillation is within 1 minute after the onset of the patient, and the success rate can reach 90%.
At that time, the medical team entered the scene about 40 seconds after Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground, and at this time, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation was carried out immediately within the golden emergency time, but the local medical team appeared to be very amateurish, and did not carry out effective first aid after a period of scrambling. And 2 minutes after Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground, a stretcher entered the field, and Zhang Zhijie was carried on a stretcher and transferred to the hospital, and he had missed 4 minutes of golden first aid!
In this regard, from the indifference and ignorance of the referee to the amateur operation of the local medical team, as well as our own team's failure to predict unexpected events, when the above series of infuriating pictures appeared in the public eye, the first thing that everyone thought of was to seriously hold them accountable.
On the evening of July 2, Beijing time, the BWF publicly announced that it would thoroughly review the matter, and this news may be what many fans want to see the most, so that the referee and the medical team members at that time must be punished as they deserve, and they must know that they destroyed the life of a young and excellent athlete!
At 10:46 on July 3, Beijing time, the screen name "Butter in the Forest" (in reality, Zhang Zhijie's sister) spoke out, and one of the sentences "Please give an explanation to our family" broke the hearts of countless netizens...... Presumably, when everyone sees Zhang Zhijie's sister speaking out so angrily, they will choose to support it unconditionally.
According to relevant media reports, Zhang Zhijie's father died early, and his mother raised Zhang Zhijie and his sister alone, and Zhang Zhijie is a very filial child, he knows that his mother is not easy, so he spends all his time on practice, the purpose is to achieve good results and make more money to repay his mother, at this moment 3 days have passed, Zhang Zhijie's mother must still not be able to accept the news of Zhang Zhijie's death.
Through the unfortunate death of Zhang Zhijie, many people have learned the importance of having a professional medical team for many sports events. Competitive sports look at results, but in the face of life, results are worthless!
And on July 3, Lin Dan, a legendary player in world badminton, publicly spoke for Zhang Zhijie on his social media: Go well, young man...... Finally, I hope that Zhang Zhijie's family will mourn, and the International Badminton Federation must thoroughly investigate this matter! Boy, go all the way......
