Recently, a tragedy occurred in Dongguan. According to reports from a number of medical institutions, after the peak of the Spring Festival rework, there were many patients in Dongguan who suffered from acute pulmonary embolism caused by prolonged car sitting, and three of them died due to serious conditions. The incident has attracted widespread attention, with doctors calling on the public to raise awareness of "economy class syndrome" and emphasizing the importance of prevention.
It is understood that the three patients who unfortunately died were in the car for 20 to 30 hours in a row, and they were put in danger by sitting still for a long time. Doctors pointed out that this disease is vividly called "economy class syndrome" because the economy class seat space is cramped, and passengers stay in a fixed sitting position for a long time, which can easily lead to poor blood circulation, which can lead to pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary embolism is a serious disease characterized by high morbidity, high disability and high mortality. Doctors emphasize that the key to preventing pulmonary embolism is to avoid staying in the same position for long periods of time, especially when sitting in a car or plane for long periods of time. Passengers are advised to move at least once every half hour and massage their calves appropriately to promote blood circulation. In addition, drinking plenty of fluids can also help prevent blood clots.
The doctor also reminded that once there are uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, you should seek medical attention immediately. These symptoms can be early signs of a pulmonary embolism, and prompt medical attention can be lifesaving.
This incident has aroused widespread concern and discussion from all walks of life. Many people say that in the past not enough attention was paid to the health risks of long car or plane rides, and this tragedy is a reminder to pay attention to your physical condition, especially when traveling for long periods of time.
Experts point out that in addition to "economy class syndrome", maintaining a fixed posture for a long time may also cause other health problems, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, etc. Therefore, the public should pay attention to adjusting their sitting posture and moving their bodies appropriately when traveling, so as to reduce the burden on their bodies during long-term travel.
In addition, the experts also suggested that ** and relevant departments should strengthen the popularization of public health knowledge and raise public awareness of the health risks of long-term travel. At the same time, vehicle manufacturers should also consider improving seat design to improve passenger comfort and reduce health risks.
The death of three returnees in Dongguan from "economy class syndrome" once again reminds us that health cannot be ignored. While pursuing speed and convenience, we should pay more attention to our physical condition and arrange the travel mode reasonably to ensure the safety of the journey.
At the same time, this incident has also aroused public concern about the rights and interests of workers. Long hours of continuous work not only affect the physical health of employees, but can also affect their productivity and quality of life. Therefore, enterprises and enterprises should strengthen the protection of workers' rights and interests, reasonably arrange working hours, provide necessary rest and recreation facilities, and ensure the physical and mental health of workers.
In short, the death of three reworkers in Dongguan who suffered from "economy class syndrome" is a wake-up call. We should learn from this experience, raise health awareness, pay attention to our physical condition, make reasonable travel and work arrangements, and ensure the safety of ourselves and others. At the same time, enterprises and all sectors of society should also work together to strengthen the popularization of health knowledge and the protection of workers' rights and interests, and jointly create a healthy and safe social environment.
