Note! Many people have died after a long period of riding, so be alert to the risk of riding

Recently, there is a mistake in Dongguan, Guangdong, on the way back to work after the recent Spring Festival holiday, there were a number of patients with acute pulmonary embolism caused by long-term car sitting, and three people unfortunately died, and the common feature of these three people is that they have been riding for more than 20 hours in a row.

After getting out of the car, she didn't go far when she suddenly fainted, became delirious, and couldn't breathe. When hospital emergency personnel arrived at the scene, she was no longer breathing and her heart was running. The paramedics immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and transferred her back to the emergency department of the hospital. After 26 minutes, she regained her heartbeat, but her blood oxygen was low, her heartbeat was erratic, and her heartbeat continued to stop repeatedly. The doctor said that the patient's lower extremity vein ultrasound showed venous thrombosis of the lower extremity, and the electrocardiogram showed complete right bundle branch block.

Combined with the medical history, the diagnosis is acute pulmonary embolism caused by prolonged car sitting, which is also known as "economy class syndrome". The hospital did its best to treat her and intervene for her with the assistance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ventilators**.

According to Ms. Ao's husband, Ms. Ao worked in a factory in Houjie Town before her death, and she hurried back to work, but she did not expect it to become the last journey of her life.

In contrast, Ms. Liu, a 56-year-old female worker, was a little luckier.

In fact, the harm of sitting in a car for a long time has not been paid enough attention to for a long time, and most of the reports of such incidents have not become hot searches, making some people quite ignorant of it. Some people interpret the symptoms as "hypocritical" and hope to relieve the symptoms with motion sickness medicine, but they are actually taking the wrong medicine.

First of all, sitting in a car for a long time can lead to physical fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and other problems, which are caused by long-term fixed posture, narrow space, lack of oxygen in the body, etc. These problems can usually be alleviated with rest and proper activity.

Secondly, when sitting in the car for a long time, the bumps and shaking generated by the vehicle during driving will cause a certain impact on the body, especially for some people in poor physical condition, which may cause damage to internal organs. In addition, when you sit in the car for a long time, the air quality in the vehicle will also be affected, and if the air quality is not good, it may cause a certain burden on the respiratory system.

However,If a person suffers from certain diseases or health problems, sitting in a car for a long time may increase the risk of death. For example, people with heart disease, high blood pressure, cerebrovascular disease, etc., may have their condition aggravated by factors such as physical fatigue, lack of oxygen, and bumps when they sit in the car for a long time, thereby increasing the risk of death.

In conclusion, the effects of long periods of sitting in a car on the body vary from person to person and need to be assessed according to the individual's physical condition and health. If you feel unwell or fatigued, you should take a break or seek help from your doctor. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
