At 8 a.m. on February 21, Wang Zhaotai, from the Emergency Department of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, came to the emergency pre-examination triage table of Qilu Building on time. Soon after him, a 71-year-old woman slipped and fell at the entrance of the hospital, she was the old professor Zhang Li (pseudonym) who was going to work in the hospital.
As soon as we saw that someone had fallen to the ground outside the door, we immediately pushed the flat car in the emergency room and went out. Wang Zhaotai said. According to the judgment of **, Zhang Li had a thoracic vertebral compression fracture.
In addition to these fractures, wrist fractures are also common in snowy weather. On the morning of the 21st, a 51-year-old male patient came to the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Shandong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) due to a fractured wrist due to a fall.
Li Nianhu, director of the Orthopedic Injury Center, said that when most people slip, their first reaction is to use their hands to support the ground, and the force at this time will cause huge pressure on the wrist, resulting in fractures. "If this type of fracture occurs, Chinese medicine has special methods such as manual reduction and splinting, and the bone gradually heals after 4-6 weeks, and the splint can be removed. Li Nianhu said that because of osteoporosis, middle-aged and elderly people have become the key group of people who fall and fracture in snowy days.
On rainy and snowy days, office workers are at high risk of falling. At around 11 o'clock on the 21st, 34-year-old Wang Teng came to the emergency pre-examination triage table of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. At this time, he was no longer afraid to walk on the ground, and sat in a wheelchair in the hospital with his right foot crossed.
Wang Teng is an employee of a new energy vehicle company. In the morning, he took the bus to work on time, and when he got off the bus, he stepped on the snow on the road and hit his right foot. "I heard a 'click' sound. At first, I didn't feel anything, but now it's getting more and more painful. He told the doctor.
After seeing **, Zhang Jixiang, the attending physician of the emergency surgery, judged that he did not have a fracture, and there may be a soft tissue contusion or ligament strain, and suggested that he go home to recuperate first. "We generally do not recommend that patients who do not have fractures over**, or recuperate. If the pain is relieved after a few days, it will be fine, and if there is still pain, you can come back for an MRI. Zhang Jixiang said to Wang Teng.
Chen Liang, deputy director of the emergency department at Qilu Hospital at Shandong University, said that many young people think that falling is a small problem, which is not correct. He suggested going to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible after a fall, focusing on ruling out fractures. "If the bone is found to be fine through the x-ray, only the soft tissue is swollen, most patients can get better with rest. Chen Liang said.
On the way to work, the snow cannot be cleared in time, and the wind and snow affect the driver's vision, and the probability of traffic accidents also increases.
At 7:40 on the 21st, the Second Hospital of Shandong University received an emergency call**. The rescuer said in ** that there was a car accident near Qinghe Road, the car rear-ended the electric car, and the owner of the electric car was injured.
The injured electric car owner, surnamed Zhang, is 45 years old. Witnesses said that Mr. Zhang was riding an electric scooter and stopped on the side of the road, and the car behind him did not brake and knocked him down. By the time Deng Wenqi**'s ambulance arrived, Mr. Zhang had fallen into a coma.
After being taken to the hospital, Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with a fracture of the left skull, left subdural edema, and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
On the afternoon of the 21st, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University also received a car accident patient. He was driving a motor vehicle and other cars on a snowy day, and when he got out of the car to deal with the accident, he did not make warning signs in time, and the car behind him crashed into him because he couldn't brake, causing him to suffer multiple fractures.
Although the snowfall is gradually weakening in most parts of the province, the snow and icy roads will still affect the travel of people in the coming days. Medical staff suggest that people should pay careful attention to travel and do a good job of self-protection.
