Carbon monoxide poisoningSevere can be fatal
The so-called carbon monoxide poisoning refers to the poisoning caused by the incompletely combustion of carbon-containing substances through the respiratory tract and caused by inhalation.
Carbon monoxide is very easy to combine with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which makes hemoglobin lose its oxygen-carrying ability, causing tissue asphyxia, which is toxic to tissue cells throughout the body, and has the most serious impact on the cerebral cortex.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is classified as mild, moderate, and severe. Doctor Lan Ji of the emergency department of a hospital in Xiaoshan District said: ".Mild poisoningPatients often present with dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, palpitations, and even transient syncope. Such patients are usually conscious, detached from the toxic environment, and symptoms disappear when fresh air is inhaled. Moderate poisoningPatients are often accompanied by symptoms such as excessive sweating, irritability, unsteady walking, pallor, confusion, drowsiness and fatigue, convulsions, collapse or coma, and will show the cherry red color characteristic of carbon monoxide poisoning. Once it happensSevere poisoningThe patient is in a deep coma, accompanied by increased muscle tone of the limbs and paroxysmal or obligatory spasms, etc., and the patients mostly have cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myocardial damage, respiratory depression, etcCan cause death.
How to deal with carbon monoxide poisoning?
If carbon monoxide poisoning occurs, how can I treat it as soon as possible?In this regard, the doctor gives the following 4 suggestions:
1.On the premise of ensuring personal safety, quickly open the windows to allow air circulation, and for those who are mildly poisoned, they can recover after several hours of ventilation observation
2.If the situation is urgent, you need to call 120 for emergency services**;
3.If the patient suffers from cardiac or respiratory arrest, they should be transferred to a safe environment and immediately performed CPR while waiting for the arrival of SCP-120
4.If the patient has an increase in mouth and nose discharge, wipe the secretion with a towel and tilt the head to one side to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the respiratory tract and causing suffocation.
Winter is the season of high incidence of carbon monoxide poisoning, so it is necessary to prevent it in advance. Lu Shijin, deputy director of the Emergency Medicine Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, reminded the general publicDo not use coal, charcoal, etc. for heating in a confined space, and it is also not recommended to turn on the air conditioner in the car for a long time.
Regularly inspect gas pipes and stoves to ensure they are safe and leak-free, and when using gas water heaters or gas cooktops, open windows or exhaust fans to keep them well ventilated.
Install carbon monoxide alarms in places where carbon monoxide may be generated, such as kitchens, bathrooms, boiler rooms, etc., to prevent problems before they occur.
