A considerable number of patients who come to the hospital during the holiday are related to their diet during the Spring Festival. Some are because they are not eating right, some are because they eat too much and too fast, and some are because they are drinking. It's not uncommon to eat badly, and it's not uncommon for it to be life-threatening.
120+, the number of holiday diseases increases, and the digestive tract is the most injured.
Since it is a diet-related disease, digestive diseases naturally come first.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, more than 120 digestive diseases were treated in the emergency department, a slight increase compared with previous years. Zhou Bingzhi, director of the emergency department of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who has 30 years of experience in front-line emergency care, said.
The Spring Festival is also a time of high incidence of various pancreatitis. "During the Spring Festival this year, the most serious case of severe pancreatitis admitted to our department exceeded the standard by more than 40 times. Zhong Jihong, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, said.
However, to the relief of gastroenterologists during the Spring Festival this year, serious emergencies such as gastrointestinal bleeding were not encountered. "In the past, during the Spring Festival every year, our gastroenterologists had cases of rescuing gastrointestinal hemorrhage, but this year we finally did not encounter this situation. Zhong Jihong said that every holiday, all doctors in the Department of Gastroenterology will keep communication open and ready to fight against death.
Eating too much or too fast can be "fatal". "On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, an elderly man was admitted to our emergency department because of aspiration pneumonia before he finished his Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Zhou Bingzhi said that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, another patient was admitted to the emergency department because of gastroesophageal reflux.
Gastroesophageal reflux is when stomach contents enter the esophagus. Long-term gastroesophageal reflux not only brings very uncomfortable symptoms, but long-term esophageal inflammation can also increase the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Zhou Bingzhi emphasized.
Both of these patients were relatively serious, and both were caused by improper 'eating', and both were admitted to the EICU. Zhou Bingzhi said.

50+, drink high and drink too much.
The most terrible thing about drunkenness is that it is confused with the symptoms of cerebral infarction.
During the Spring Festival holiday, when relatives and friends get together, it is inevitable to have a few drinks. Drinking pleasantly, drinking too much hurts the body, once excessive, the consequences are unimaginable. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a range of problems such as acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, acute pancreatitis, rhabdomyolysis, choking, and accidental injury.
During the Spring Festival holiday, patients with alcohol poisoning or various complications caused by alcohol consumption can be received every day. From Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the emergency department received more than 50 drunk patients. Zhou Bingzhi said.
It is reported that from the perspective of age distribution, most of the drunk patients during the Spring Festival are young and middle-aged people, with more than 70% of patients aged 30 to 50 years old, and an average age of 441 year old.
How much alcohol did these people drink to get into the hospital? If you ask carefully, some people have drunk 1 bottle of white wine, some people have drunk 4 bottles of beer, and some people have drunk 1 bottle of red wine ......
Judging from the amount of alcohol consumed, it does not seem to be "massive", but in fact, such patients are "high". They are either because they drink a lot of alcohol in a short period of time, or because they usually drink less, maybe because they are too happy for the Spring Festival, and suddenly they drink a lot at once, so they are prone to getting drunk and uncomfortable. Generally, as long as awakening drugs, electrolyte supplementation, glucose supplementation and other methods are given**.
However, for middle-aged and elderly people with some underlying diseases, "drinking alcohol is a common factor that induces cerebral infarction, and at the same time, the state of consciousness after drinking is easy for people to ignore the symptoms and onset time of cerebral infarction, which is easy to be confused with drunkenness." Zhou Bingzhi emphasized.

These fish are "good hands" stuck in the throat
During the Spring Festival, after dinner on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and during the day from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is often the "peak" of pulling fish bones.
Around the Spring Festival, at most, 13 or 4 patients were treated in one night, all of whom came to pull out fish bones. Wang Yan, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, said that 2 or 3 at night are pulling fish bones, and similar situations will occur during the New Year and festivals in previous years.
Among the people who receive treatment, there are many elderly patients. "Elderly people don't have a flexible tongue, and their dentures are not so sensitive to fish bones, so if you eat fish while chatting, you can easily get stuck in the fish bones. Wang Yan emphasized.
Based on years of experience in "pulling out thorns", Wang Yan said that many patients in Zhejiang are easily stuck by spiny fish such as pomfret bream and white stripes.
There are also many people who get stuck in the spines of eels and crucian carp. Some experts say that the eel's bones are thin and sharp, while the crucian carp's spines are many and hard, and they are both "good hands" stuck in the throat.
Fish bones may seem like a trivial matter, but sometimes they are a 'fatal' event that should not be taken lightly. Wang Yan said that when the fish bones are deep, such as swimming next to the carotid artery, there is a great risk. The doctor will also determine the location of the fish bones as early as possible through relevant examinations, so that the bones can be accurately extracted. "Be patient when pulling out fish bones and trust your doctor to rule out the risk early. ”
Although the holidays have passed, health should continue.
Experts give advice on life.
It is advisable to maintain a normal eating frequency and slow down the pace of eating. The diet should be as low as possible in terms of oil, sugar and vegetables, and fruits. Digestive expert Zhong Jihong reminded.

Regarding the prevention of alcohol poisoning, Zhou Bingzhi said: "Do not drink on an empty stomach, drink together, drink with medicine, pay attention to moderate and slow drinking. Of course, the most effective thing is to pay attention to alcohol intake and drink in moderation. A safe drinking rate is about the equivalent of no more than one can of beer per hour. After drinking, you can consume a lot of water and eat some sugary foods such as sugar water, honey, and bananas to speed up metabolism. ”
Wang Yan said that vinegar cannot soften fish bones in a short period of time, and drinking too much vinegar can easily cause acid burns on the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, esophagus and other places; Swallowing rice can easily bring large fish bones into the esophagus, which is more risky. If you can't go to the hospital for a while, you can try to spit out the stuck fish bones by pressing the base of the tongue with your fingers to induce vomiting.
Of course, there is also a risk of secondary injury in the way of vomiting and draining fish bones, and the best way is to seek medical attention in time. Wang Yan reminded that when eating fish, pay attention to chewing and swallowing slowly, don't use it for two purposes, and pay special attention not to chat while eating fish.
