Recently, the video “Father took the baby on the train alone, when he arrived at the station, he found that the child in his arms was motionless, and the father collapsed and collapsed” a video went viral on the Internet.
As a doctor, seeing such a video makes my heart rise to my throat. Fortunately, the child was only in a coma with high fever, and finally turned the corner.
After a fluke, I felt that the public medical knowledge was too lacking, and it was really necessary to make up for it.
The child was diagnosed with a severe fever. But according to people at the scene, the child was outsourced several layers inside and out!
Don’t forget what the weather is like. Especially in the past few years, it has not been so hot in many years.
A child who is only a few months old has no way to protest, but to obey. Coupled with fever and unwillingness to move, it is not very good.
It has to be mentioned here that gay men may be less attentive than lesbians. If you are a lesbian, you may reach out and touch it and notice the abnormality.
As an anesthesiologist, recalling the situation in the operating room, it is inevitable that this kind of neglected fever will occur.
In the operating room, thermal insulation is basically advocated. Heating blankets, heating pads, and liquid heating various thermal insulation facilities are widely used in almost every hospital operating room.
However, there are situations where over-insulation may occur. For example, the patient used anticholinergic drugs, had a fever, had thyroid surgery, had too many coverings, and so on.
At this time, the patient may not express “hot” directly. Something that can be “expressed” may also be considered nervous.
Finding that the patient was nervous, a sedative shot was inevitable.
Fever during general anesthesia and shallow anesthesia may induce the anesthesiologist to increase the dose. In reality, it might just be a good temperature check and a few layers of coverings removed.
Finally, let’s talk about the dangers of high fever:
High fever, especially those with body temperature above 41°C, may have a greater impact on central nervous cells and the heart. In the case of extremely high fever, it can lead to heart failure.
Fever causing CNS symptoms such as coma and delirium is also common. Therefore, for patients with high fever, regardless of whether there is an obvious primary disease, cooling should be done as soon as possible.
Especially in children with high fever, it is easy to induce convulsions, and it is better to prevent it as soon as possible.
In hot summer, the heat can hurt people. Master some common medical knowledge, and don’t let adults collapse on the lack of medical knowledge.
