Learn one trick to cure four kinds of sudden serious diseases

For common diseases such as cardiovascular disease and asthma, they may occur at any place and at any time. If they are not treated in time, they will result in loss of life. So what should we do when faced with these sudden illnesses? Today, we will popularize the first aid knowledge for dealing with sudden illnesses. Let's take a look.

Heart disease "can't move"

There are two common types of heart attacks: angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. A myocardial infarction is a severe attack of angina. If a person who has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease develops symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, or chest squeezing pain, before the emergency personnel arrive, let the patient maintain a comfortable position, such as a semi-recumbent position, and be sure not to move. If conditions permit, give the patient oxygen. When angina pectoris occurs, patients can take a tablet of nitroglycerin sublingually, which usually takes effect within 30 seconds to 1 minute. If it is ineffective, take another tablet after 3-5 minutes, up to a maximum of 3 tablets. If the angina pectoris does not subside for more than 15 minutes and gastrointestinal ulcers and other bleeding conditions are ruled out, you can take 3 tablets of aspirin x28150-300 mg x29 at a time.

While waiting for the ambulance, if the patient suddenly falls to the ground, becomes unconscious, has convulsions in the face and limbs, and looks grim, it means that cardiac arrest may be occurring. At this time, electric defibrillation is a key measure to save lives. If there is no professional defibrillator, family members can quickly lay the patient on his back and perform a chest tap x28. Place the fist 20 to 30 centimeters above the center of the chest and tap downward forcefully once x29. Then perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first doing cardiac compressions, then artificial respiration.

Cerebral hemorrhage "cannot be shaken"

People with high blood pressure are prone to cerebral hemorrhage, and once it occurs, the mortality rate is very high. At the beginning, the patient will have a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and a lisp when speaking. Subsequently, most patients will experience sudden coma and projectile vomiting. While waiting for emergency treatment, you can let the patient lie on his side and keep still to avoid vomitus blocking the airway. Never force medicine or water. In order to avoid aggravating cerebral hemorrhage, the patient should be transported with as little shaking as possible. It is best to receive treatment nearby and then transfer to another hospital after the condition stabilizes. When in a vehicle or on a stretcher, keep the patient's head elevated and do not shake it x28. You can secure it with your hands x29. At the same time, the patient's head should be tilted to one side to facilitate the flow of vomit.

Cerebral thrombosis cannot be treated slowly

For ischemic strokex28, commonly known as cerebral thrombosisx29, the 6 hours after onset are particularly important. Once more than 6 hours have passed, the best time for drug treatment is lost and the brain tissue may develop various stroke sequelae due to prolonged ischemia. Therefore, if you find that the patient has symptoms such as slurred speech, mild limb paralysis or numbness, you must call the emergency number immediately and go to the hospital for a detailed diagnosis to see if there is cerebral hemorrhage. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, family members can let the patient lie flat without a pillow, and do not use any medicine rashly. If your blood pressure is too high x28 and your systolic pressure exceeds 200 mmHg x29, you can take some antihypertensive drugs.

Asthma "can't be carried"

Asthma is also a dangerous disease that is common in winter and the disease progresses quickly. When bronchial asthma patients have an attack, they first take the usual medications used to relieve the condition, such as asthma sprays, and at the same time breathe oxygen in a semi-sitting position. If cardiac asthma occurs and blood pressure is high during the attack, you can take one tablet of nitroglycerin. If it is ineffective, you can take it again. Then, sit down, preferably with your feet hanging down. At the same time, unbutton the patient's collar, loosen his belt, clear the sputum in the mouth in time, and give oxygen if conditions permit. When transporting a patient, do not carry him/her on your back to avoid causing respiratory or cardiac arrest.

The above is a detailed introduction to the first aid knowledge for four common sudden illnesses. I hope that if you have such patients at home, you can skillfully apply these first aid knowledge and start a tug-of-war for life with death.
