My family has a sudden acute myocardial infarction. What should we do?
First, keep calm, and let the patients stop their activities immediately and rest on the spot. Don't carry the patient at will, keep a comfortable position, and you can use a semi-recumbent position. Unbutton the collar and observe whether the airway is unobstructed and whether there is vomit in the mouth. Open the window for ventilation and keep fresh air circulating indoors. Comfort patients not to be too nervous and maintain emotional stability.
Second, call the emergency number 120 immediately, and take emergency drugs such as nitroglycerin tablets under your tongue as soon as possible. Nitroglycerin can not only dilate coronary artery and increase coronary blood flow, but also dilate peripheral blood vessels and reduce heart load. If nitroglycerin is given for more than 2 times and more than 30 minutes, the chest pain is still not relieved, and myocardial infarction should be suspected. It is worth noting that if patients are accompanied by hypotension during acute myocardial infarction, they should not take nitroglycerin tablets to avoid further blood pressure drop and shock. Remember, patients should never be allowed to walk to the hospital after acute myocardial infarction, nor should they drive or take a taxi to the hospital. Because the heart of patients with acute myocardial infarction is like a "blue and white porcelain", any slight activity may make the burden of the heart overwhelmed and broken.
Third, don't let patients go to the bathroom to relieve themselves at this moment. When acute myocardial infarction occurs, if the patient moves to the bathroom to urinate, especially when defecation is difficult, it will increase the burden on the heart, and in severe cases, it will cause heart rupture and irreparable consequences.
4. 120 When the emergency doctor arrives home, he should report his illness concisely. Tell the doctor 120 what are the main symptoms of the patient at present, how long has it been, and what first-aid drugs have been taken at home. Do you have a history of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension? If you have a history of drug allergy, you should take the initiative to explain it to your doctor.
Five, it is best to take the nearest hospital as the principle, and to send it to a hospital with the treatment conditions of acute myocardial infarction.
Acute myocardial infarction is a very serious cardiovascular disease. If it is too far away from the hospital, it may prolong the treatment time of patients and increase the risk. In addition, not all hospitals have good treatment ability for acute myocardial infarction. It can be suggested that 120 ambulance be sent to a general hospital with the ability to carry out emergency coronary intervention.
6. When you arrive at the hospital, if the doctor suggests emergency coronary intervention, don't hesitate to miss the best treatment time. To trust a doctor is to give yourself a chance to live.
Why should the signing of interventional surgery be decisive and quick?
The best treatment time for acute myocardial infarction is within 120 minutes, which is called "prime time 120". Time is life, and time is myocardium. The sooner the occluded heart vessels are opened, the better the treatment effect and the higher the success rate of patients. Some families of patients with acute myocardial infarction are hesitant before intervention, constantly asking for the opinions of other relatives and friends by phone or waiting for family members to discuss, and are dubious about the treatment plan put forward by doctors. The consequence is to miss precious life treatment time in vain. This tragic story caused by family members' hesitation and waiting has appeared everywhere. Therefore, to cooperate with the doctor's work is to save lives.
The above six points are what we need to do well when our family members suddenly have an acute myocardial infarction. Finally, once again, trusting the doctor is to give yourself a chance to live.
