"Doctor, you must save him!”
Outside the rescue room, a mother begs the doctor to save her baby, but the doctor knows that there is nothing she can do at this time. Just because this guy drank a whole bottle of paraquat。If it can be saved, it is simply a fantasy.
Paraquat, also known as the "water of death". According to the 2014 Consensus on the Diagnosis and Diagnosis of Paraquat Poisoning, it isThere is no antidote to paraquatOnce a person drinks more than 20 ml of paraquat, the amount of one bottle cap will cause the whole body to fail, irreversible fibrosis of the lungs, and eventually respiratory failure and suffocation.
After drinking it, it will give you enough time to regret it, but it will not give you the slightest chance of survival.
My sister's friend is an emergency physician at a tertiary hospital in our city, and according to him, all of these paraquat patients have one thing in common:In this way, they want to scare their family, thinking that they may be fine after drinking and washing their stomachs, but what they don't know is that paraquat is irreversible, but by the time they regret it, it will be too late!Cherishing life is the most important thing.
Paraquat is a common herbicide that was once widely used in more than 130 countries for its impressive weedicide effectiveness. His ability to control weeds was its strength, but it also killed many people.
Li Dejun, the father of paraquat in China, once said: "He has no antidote, but I didn't expect anyone to drink it."
Paraquat is originally colorless and odorless, and it has been deliberately made to prevent people from taking it by mistake, but it still does not stop people who want to drink it.
The process of dying in patients with paraquat poisoning is so brutal that some have likened it to"Buried alive".It doesn't make you die immediately, but gives you a glimmer of hope, and then slowly erodes your body behind it, your organs begin to fail, your throat begins to fester, and it becomes difficult to breathe, and eventually you can't breathe and suffocate.
Two days before the poisoning:In the first day or two, there is no change in your body, and you even think that nothing is wrong and you should be discharged from the hospital, but the doctor is just making a big fuss.
Day 3 begins:The patient himself will feel a trace of abnormality, **yellowing, a trace of ulceration in the mouth and throat, and begin to wonder if the prescribed drug has no effect, in fact, this is a sign of a toxic outbreak.
Two more days later:On the fourth and fifth days, the mouth and throat of the poisoned person became more sore, and breathing became more rapid. In severe cases, it was already difficult to speak, and he began to become flustered, but the doctor just told him that everything was normal and that it was okay to cooperate.
By the sixth day:At this time, the patient is actually not far from deathFibrosis in the lungs is very severe, can only rely on ventilators to survive. The victims began to feel sad and recall good memories of the past. When he sees a doctor, he grabs the doctor's hand tightly and wants to save himself again. But he couldn't speak, because of the severe mouth ulcer, he could no longer speak.
On the seventh day:At this point, 90% of patients will be sent back to their community hospital for end-of-life care. Relatives and friends came to see him, and he couldn't stop crying but couldn't speak. Eventually, when the ventilator could no longer sustain their breathing, they passed away.
Why is paraquat so scary?This is because paraquat is essentially a speciesCatalytic pesticides
Chemistry books have said that a catalyst is a substance that can change the equilibrium or rate of a chemical reaction, andThe mass and chemical properties of the reaction itself are unchanged before and after the reactionThat is, while it destroys the cells of your body, it is unharmed. It's pretty scary. When you overdose on paraquat, you declare the "game of death" and it doesn't stop.
What's even more terrifying is that your brain is completely awake during this processYou know it well:I'm dying on my own.
There is a barrier called the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain from drug damage, but paraquat can damage your respiratory system and other organs when it doesDoes not affect your central nervous system. Your brain knows that its days are numbered, but there is nothing you can do about it, and this psychological torture and despair is more painful than physical.
This kind of psychological torture is not only for the patient, but also for your family and the doctor who treated you. I know what the result will be, but there is no way but to take some measures to alleviate the pain of the patient.
This guy's name isLi Hongda, is a child with a tragic fate. When he was a child, his parents died and he became an orphan, and he had an older brother, but his brother left him to live with his grandparents when he went out into society. It's a pity that grandparents died one after another, which made Li Hongda very painful. Due to the absence of parents when he was a child, Li Hongda has very low self-esteem, and his personality is also very withdrawn, without friends, and it is difficult to integrate into others.
One night, a drunken Li Hongda stood in front of his old house. Maybe it's because I touched the scene and felt that things are wrong. Li Hongda suddenly had the idea of accompanying his family after committing suicide. Glancing at Diquat Kuai on the ground, he swallowed it all in one gulp without any hesitation.
During the treatment at the hospital, the doctor asked what he had drunk, and he thought it was"Diquat fast".But when the doctor got the test sheet, he found that he probably drank paraquat instead of diquat. Even the doctor began to shake his head at this news, and Li Hongda drank the whole bottle into it, I am afraid that the chance of survival is not great.
At this timeLi Hongda's ten fingers have also turned completely blackIn order to expel the toxin from Li Hongda's body as soon as possible, the doctor plans to go on dialysis, but dialysis costs 20,000 yuan a day. How can this family afford such a high cost, so Li Hongda's cousin can only ask for help from the society through the Internet.
Perhaps feeling the love of well-wishers, Li Hongda began to regret it, hoping that his body would improve. But how could paraquat give him a chance?In the ** process, Li Hongda had a moment of improvement halfway, and everyone once thought that there might be a miracle, but only the doctor knew in his heart that all this was an illusion.
On the 27th day, Li Hongda's breathing became more and more rapid, and his condition suddenly deteriorated, and the doctor rescued him in various ways, but still could not change his breathing difficulties, and finally Li Hongda could not breathe and left this world in the hospital bed at the age of 23.
In 2016, paraquat was banned and its registration was revoked. However, there are still residual paraquat residues in some farmers' homes that have not been disposed of in a timely manner, and there is a hidden danger that would not have occurred in the first place
Let's hope that we will cherish life and prevent such incidents from happening again
