In Linyi, Shandong Province, a family was enjoying charcoal hot pot and caused a carbon monoxide poisoning incident.
During the meal, a lady stood up and suddenly felt uncomfortable. She slipped down from her seat and fell to the ground. The two of them immediately went to help. Another man sitting by the door went to open the door for air. In the process of opening the door, the man's footsteps were unstable. The man who opened the door leaned against the door and fell to the ground twice. Several people carried the fainted woman into the house and dialed the emergency number. When the woman came out, she found that the man who opened the door was also sitting on the ground, thinking he was drunk. Afterwards, the parties said that it was carbon monoxide poisoning, and it was okay after ventilation.
With the continuous cold wave, the temperature is getting colder and colder. People also eat hot pot, but when using charcoal hot pot, we must pay attention to ventilation conditions to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
So, what should I do if I find someone around me poisoned?
The patient should be moved to a place with fresh air quickly, stop inhaling carbon monoxide continuously, stay in bed, keep warm and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. Second, oxygen therapy can be given to patients to quickly correct hypoxia. If conditions permit, use hyperbaric oxygen chamber for treatment. Then, if the patient can't breathe well, he can give tracheal intubation, connect a ventilator to assist ventilation, prevent and treat the patient's brain edema, promote brain cell metabolism and so on.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is mainly divided into mild, moderate and severe levels. Clinical symptoms are as follows:
Mild patients may have mild dizziness, nausea, vomiting or other unwell symptoms.
Moderate patients may have dizziness, palpitation, nausea and vomiting, and may have changes in consciousness.
On the basis of the above symptoms, severe cases may cause loss of consciousness, lethargy and deep coma.
Once gas poisoning occurs, the patient should be moved to a place with fresh air as soon as possible, and can be sent to the hospital in time if conditions permit. Patients with mild poisoning generally have a good prognosis, and patients with severe poisoning may have complications. Therefore, we must pay attention to the usual use to avoid danger.
