usually looks good, but suddenly there is no ......Recently, a famous actress died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 57. In recent years, sudden deaths have occurred frequently and are gradually getting younger, which has to make us vigilant. As one of the fastest ways to get off the line, how close is sudden death to us?
In 2020, a study on the epidemiological characteristics of 5,516 cases of sudden autopsy death in China was published in the journal "Chinese Emergency Medicine". It was pointed out that the causes of sudden death were emotional agitation (26%), exertion (25%), and blood volume changes (895%), followed by alcohol consumption, oversatiety, minor injuries, etc. Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of sudden death, accounting for 5776%；This was followed by sudden pulmonary death, accounting for 2163%；Then there is sudden brain-borne death, accounting for 921%。It is mostly manifested as sudden onset, and most of the seizures occur during resting and sleeping.
At the same time, it has also been clinically found that patients with chronic diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes have a higher risk of sudden deathPeople who have large mood swings, are quick to get angry, have experienced high pressure for a long time, are mentally stressed, work at high intensity, and often stay up late are also more likely to die suddenly.
Sudden death has the characteristics of suddenness, fast death, short rescue time, etc., once sudden death occurs, the rescue time is only 4-6 minutes. Therefore, it is important to detect the precursor signs of sudden death in advance and understand the prevention techniques.
There are many patients with sudden death episodes who are not aware that they may die suddenly, thus delaying the rescue time. Sudden death is not without a trace, although we cannot predict the exact time of sudden death, but for the body may send out the warning signal of sudden death in advance, do not ignore!
What are the signs of sudden death?
Usually there is a sudden feeling of difficulty breathing, chest tightness and sweating, dizziness and fatigue, palpitations, sudden sinking of the body, or confusion in a trance, which lasts for about a few minutes and then returns to normal. This is actually a signal that sudden death can happen!
Therefore, in daily life, we can detect the signs of sudden death in advance and take some protective measures in advance to deal with the risk of sudden death.
First of all, it is important to pay attention to the quality of sleep and try to stay up as little as possible. Staying up late for a long time or not getting enough sleep will put our sympathetic nervous system in a state of excitement, which will lead to a faster heartbeat, higher blood pressure, and when the burden on the heart increases, it is easy to lead to sudden cardiac death.
In addition, you should pay attention to your own health data. Through health monitoring devices such as the Sleep Xiaobao Smart Sleep Monitor, we can continuously monitor health data such as heart rate and breathing during high-risk periods at night, which can help us make intelligent judgments on health conditions and screen for potential health risk signals.
Recently, an 83-year-old elderly person was screened for cardiac arrest risk in advance by using the Sleep Xiaobao smart sleep monitor. At around 3 o'clock in the morning, just when everyone was asleep, Sleep Xiaobao Intelligent Sleep Monitoring System suddenly began to send out 6 abnormal heart rate alarm notifications in a row. By looking at the system data, we found that from 3:12 a.m., the elderly man's heart rate began to be abnormal, and he had been hovering at a low heart rate for nearly 45 minutes. The system sends an alarm every five minutes, and at 3:46 the heart rate once bottoms out within the warning range set by the system. After monitoring this situation, he accompanied the elderly to go for further examination, and by wearing a 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram in the hospital, after a professional diagnosis by a doctor, it was found that the elderly person was indeed at risk of cardiac arrest. It can be seen that by using the Sleep Xiaobao smart sleep monitor, health risks are detected in advance, which provides a scientific reference for the prediction of the disease, and helps the elderly successfully prevent the risk of cardiac arrest.
Many diseases that lead to sudden death have no obvious signs in the early stage, and the vital signs monitoring function of the sleep monitor can assist in the initial screening of health risks and provide scientific data for medical diagnosis when the precursor of sudden death occurs, so as to further understand the dangerous situation you are in, increase vigilance, and even save lives in critical moments.
