Doctor: Don't rub it when it hurts, this disease has a very high mortality rate! Four cardiac arrests within half a day for post-00s
Did you go on a trip this summer?
Although it's fun to go out and play,
But the editor wants to remind everyone,
It's best to make a move on a long journey!

A 22-year-old boy just got off the train
Four cardiac arrests occurred within half a day
Urgently sent to the hospital for treatment
The reason is related to the habits that everyone has
Male cardiac arrest 4 times
Life hanging on a thread
Recently, Xiao Han took a train from another city to Shenzhen. Just as he left the station, he suddenly fell to the ground in front of him. When passersby gathered around and called for an ambulance, Xiao Han was unconscious, breathing, and having no heartbeat. Enthusiastic citizens continued to undergo cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

120 cars will arrive soon. But on the way to the hospital, he experienced sudden cardiac arrest again. The emergency doctor pressed for 5 minutes and rescued him.
At 1:15 am, Xiao Han was sent to the emergency department of Shenzhen University General Hospital. At that time, his heart rate reached 200 beats per minute, and he developed symptoms of metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and poor blood oxygen saturation.
The emergency doctor urgently performed tracheal intubation to help him breathe, and then experienced a third cardiac arrest.
Xiao Han was sent to the ICU and underwent various examinations such as angiography. Quickly, the examination result came out: "Pulmonary embolism"! Severe thrombotic pulmonary embolism!
Subsequently, Xiaohan experienced sudden cardiac arrest for the fourth time. So the hospital quickly arranged for surgery, raced against time for thrombolysis treatment, and finally saved Xiao Han.
After investigation, Xiao Han is a young man born in the 2000s, 22 years old, without any underlying illnesses. However, he used to work very hard and often didn't go to bed until 3am. He had chest pain before departure. This time, I took a train to Shenzhen to work alone, and after sitting for about 5 hours, I suddenly had a pulmonary embolism. "I didn't expect that almost everyone was gone!"
There are hospitals that rescue more than ten people in a month
People who sit for long periods of time and feel numb should be vigilant!
How many leisure packages are there for family holidays, such as watching TV dramas, playing cards, and traveling long distances. Little did they know that such prolonged immobility would cause slow and stagnant venous blood flow in the lower limbs, leading to the formation of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs, which is what we call a blood clot.
After prolonged sitting, if the blood clots start to move, they will fall off and flow back to the heart with the blood, then reach the pulmonary artery, causing pulmonary embolism, causing lung ischemia and hypoxia, chest pain, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and in severe cases, sudden death. This situation is medically known as "card table syndrome" or "economy class syndrome".
Complete occlusion of the main trunk of both lower pulmonary arteries
Su Minghua, deputy chief physician of the Emergency Center of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, said that summer is the peak travel season, and it is easy to sit still by means of transportation for a long time. In one month, the emergency department of the hospital saved more than 10 patients with pulmonary embolism.
According to data provided by the International Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis, one person worldwide suffers from venous thromboembolic disease every 16 seconds, and one person dies from the disease every 37 seconds.
The most terrifying thing is that although it is a high-risk and sudden serious illness, the self diagnosis rate is very low, and the symptoms are easily confused with other diseases. If it is not specifically checked, sometimes it may not be detected.

Xingchongchong comes to Hangzhou for tourism
But the man was admitted to the hospital
Mr. Liu is 65 years old this year. His children drove him to Hangzhou for tourism, but as the ride time extended, his left foot gradually developed problems.
"The patient's left foot is red, swollen, and painful, with a hard lump inside. It is thrombophlebitis and requires surgery," said Chen Legao, Deputy Chief Physician of Vascular Surgery at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. Upon hearing that he was going to be hospitalized for surgery, Mr. Liu initially didn't take it seriously and said he was heading towards West Lake. He couldn't accept being hospitalized without seeing West Lake.
"I fully understand your feelings. The problem is that there is already a blood clot in your leg. If you move too much, it can cause the clot to fall off, which is dangerous." After repeated patient persuasion, Mr. Liu reluctantly agreed to be hospitalized.
Playing cards for several consecutive days
Foot swelling and pain
Mr. Kim, who is over 60 years old, suffers from hypertension and diabetes and likes playing cards.
After playing with his family for two or three days, Mr. Jin felt that his left foot was swollen and a bit painful. After going to the hospital for examination, the ultrasound results confirmed that Mr. Jin had formed a deep vein thrombosis in his left lower limb. The doctor immediately placed a filter screen above the thrombosis
"The terrifying thing about blood clots is that they can spread and fall off from the foot. When a venous thrombosis forms in the foot, the thrombus blocks the blood flow, causing the blood to clot and form a thrombus. When the thrombus spreads all the way to the larger diameter iliac vein and inferior vena cava, due to the larger blood vessels, some of the blood flow will wash away the thrombus and cause it to fall off. Once a large thrombus falls off, it can cause a large area of pulmonary embolism, with a very high mortality rate," explained the doctor.
The doctor's analysis suggests that Mr. Jin's occurrence of deep vein thrombosis in his lower limbs is related to factors such as prolonged sitting while playing cards, lack of water consumption, and increased blood viscosity.
How to judge oneself
Do you have any symptoms of thrombosis?
Expert doctors remind everyone,
Symptoms of blood clots in the legs should be noted:
1. Pain and pain are the earliest symptoms, mostly appearing in the calf, thigh, and groin areas. Most people will experience muscle cramps or muscle tightness.
2. Swelling of the lower limbs is the most common symptom, with only a few showing bilateral swelling due to inferior vena cava thrombosis, and the vast majority showing single leg swelling.
Don't rub your legs for now if they hurt
Be careful of blood clots accompanying the blood flow!
When a blood clot adheres to the blood vessel wall, it only causes leg swelling and pain, which is relatively safe and controllable. Once squeezed and rubbed, the detached new blood clots will drift to the heart with the blood flow, blocking important pulmonary blood vessels, leading to pulmonary embolism and endangering life.
Doctor's advice ▼
Try to be more active while flying or taking a car.
You can stand on tiptoe multiple times in the seat, each movement lasting for a few seconds, doing 10-15 times to contract the leg muscles and push blood towards the veins, avoiding the formation of blood clots.
● Reasonable hydration
Drink plenty of water or non-alcoholic beverages to keep blood flowing.
● Wear loose fitting clothing
Wearing loose clothing and avoiding tight socks and waistbands is beneficial for the return of venous blood in the lower limbs. You can also wear low knee elastic socks to prevent venous blood stasis and facilitate better blood flow back to the heart.
