In the inpatient department of the hospital, although the medical staff on night shifts are hard, it is not easy to accompany and care for the patient’s family members at the bedside. No, not long ago, a patient’s family member suddenly disappeared in the ward in the middle of the night. Breathing and the rescue process are also quite thrilling. The doctor diagnosed this as acute myocardial infarction, also known as sudden myocardial infarction.
37-year-old A Yang was in his prime. One night when he was accompanying his father in the hospital, he suddenly became silent in the bed.
Yu Lili, a nurse in the Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases of the First People’s Hospital of the City: The patient has always had the habit of snoring, and then the family members in the next bed were 12 at that time. Before I slept at 1 o’clock, I suddenly felt that there was no sound, so I went to call him, but there was no response when I called. After our nurse went over, he found that he was sleeping on his side, and then touched his carotid artery. He had no pulsation at the end of the neck, nor did he breathe, and his whole body was already straight.
The medical staff responded quickly, immediately performed rescue measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, oxygen inhalation, endotracheal intubation, and electrical defibrillation, and sent them to the emergency medicine department for rescue. Diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction.
Gao Hanhua, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the First People’s Hospital of the City: When we saw this patient, his condition was already very critical. After taking a photo, it was found that he had a relatively important blood vessel completely blocked. At that time, his blood vessels were opened immediately, and the stent was also prepared. After the completion, the blood vessels in the heart resumed blood flow. It took him a long time before and after, and he was finally rescued and discharged from the hospital.
The key to first aid for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is to find out in time. Fortunately, A Yang was in the hospital when he fell ill, and he got the first chance for rescue. Anywhere else, I’m afraid it’s powerless. The doctor said that in the past, sudden myocardial infarction was common in middle-aged and elderly people, but in recent years, there has been a clear trend of younger people.
Gao Hanhua, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the First People’s Hospital of the City: It used to be said to be “senile disease”, but if we observe now, especially in recent years, there are indeed many young people. We have done some Those in their 30s already account for a certain proportion, then the younger ones, even those in their 20s, and those in their teens.
Clinical data show that patients with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcoholism, less exercise, and obesity are more likely to In addition, some of the people who snore are patients with sleep apnea syndrome. These people are also prone to myocardial infarction, and staying up late is the most noteworthy risk factor for myocardial infarction. Doctors remind that high-risk groups should be alert to the following symptoms to prevent problems before they occur.
Gao Hanhua, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the First People’s Hospital of the City: The name is angina pectoris, but in fact it is just a stuffy feeling in the chest. If you are too tired, or if you wonder if it is just a stomachache, just stay up all night, just get through it, and you will miss the treatment time. When he actually has a myocardial infarction, if he is lucky, he may have chest pain, severe chest pain, and if the pain is so severe, he will definitely go to the hospital to see it, and this will get better care. Then, if he fell ill like the patient we mentioned earlier, his heart stopped and his breathing stopped as soon as he suffered, and he died suddenly.
