Title: Drunken aspiration and sudden death are at risk! The Spring Festival wine bureau has become the secret base of the hospital's "VIP"!

Body: Hi friends! At the beginning of the new year, Spring Festival gatherings and dinners are frequent, and the food and laughter on the table have become the representative of the New Year's flavor. But behind this carnival, we see a phenomenon that cannot be ignored - the emergency room of the hospital has become a "check-in point" for some people.

Recently, the number of drunk patients in the emergency department of Yiwu Central Hospital has increased significantly, and waves of "guests" have come to the door almost every night, and the scene is staggering. There was even a "regular" who visited 10 times in one night!

Let's listen to a real example, at 11 p.m. on February 7, a gentleman surnamed Li drank heartily at the company's annual meeting, and his colleagues sent him to the emergency room of Yiwu Central Hospital. Mr. Lee was a heavy drinker at first, but it didn't take long for him to start getting confused, and eventually he was found to have an ethanol level of 265mg 100ml in his blood. Faced with the eye-catching numbers on the inspection report and Mr. Li's flushed face, the accompanying colleagues felt helpless, it turned out that "Brother Li" accidentally "played with fire" in everyone's toast.

Dr. Fu Qingyang, deputy director of the emergency department of Yiwu Central Hospital, said that the number of acute alcohol poisoning cases like Mr. Li's has increased significantly recently, especially in the first half of the night, when most of them are men. Typical symptoms include excitement, abnormal behavior, slurred speech, etc., and in severe cases, coma. Physician Fu reminds that vomiting after intoxication is easy to aspirate, which is dangerous, and may lead to suffocation and even fatality. So, stay in the lateral position after being drunk, be accompanied by someone, and be even more careful when cleaning up vomit.

Drinking, some people say that it is a "two-edged blade". Alcohol is recognized by the World Health Organization as a "Group 1 carcinogen" and may cause liver and kidney damage, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and other problems. Excessive alcohol consumption can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, and even life-threatening.

Whether it is white wine, red wine, rice wine or beer, they all contain alcohol, which is irritating and harmful to the gastrointestinal mucosa. In the fasting state, the stimulation of alcohol is more obvious, which may cause abdominal pain and discomfort, and in severe cases, it may cause peptic ulcers and gastric bleeding, which is life-threatening.

In addition, drinking alcohol should not be "mixed". Different types of liquor, or even different brands of the same type, have different raw materials, manufacturing processes, and concentrations, and it is easy to get drunk when mixed with them, and at the same time, it may cause complex reactions and increase health hazards.

It is important to note that alcohol should not be drunk with medicine. For example, taking cephalosporin antibiotics with alcohol may lead to serious consequences, such as myocardial infarction and shock. Some other medications such as cold medicines, sleeping pills, hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, etc., when paired with alcohol, can also lead to dangerous consequences, including liver failure, memory dysfunction, hypoglycemic shock, hypotensive shock, etc.

If you suffer from hepatitis, fatty liver, gastritis, stomach ulcer, high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases, you should not drink alcohol at will. For example, although drinking strong tea and coffee can excite the nerve center, the theophylline and caffeine in it may increase the body's water loss and cause a burden on the heart. In addition, taking a hot bath or sauna after drinking alcohol can aggravate drunkenness, while cold showers may cause blood vessel rupture or colds.

Some people drink alcohol and cause them to blush, which is not shyness, let alone being able to drink. This is because the decomposition rate of acetaldehyde in the body cannot keep up with the decomposition rate of alcohol, resulting in a large accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, which increases the risk of liver cancer.

Finally, during the Spring Festival carnival, please drink responsibly, don't believe in those "sobering tips", and protect your health. Wishing you all a happy, safe and healthy New Year! Drunken during the Spring Festival Hospital "VIP" Drink responsibly
