Approaching the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, family and friends are indispensable for drinking, so banquets are also called banquets and wine tables. When it comes to drinking, I have to think of the heroism of the ancients: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately"; "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, cook sheep and slaughter cattle and be happy, you will have to drink 300 cups." However, as a doctor, we still advise everyone to drink in moderation.
There are pros and cons to alcohol. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica, Valley, Wine" that wine can "carry out medicinal potential, clear blood and veins, thicken the stomach, moisten **, disperse dampness, eliminate anxiety and anger, and declare freedom". Traditional Chinese medicine wine can be the best disease, and there are often people who have ginseng wine, chrysanthemum wine, wolfberry wine, etc., which are used to replenish the middle and benefit the qi, brighten the ears and eyes, and strengthen the waist and knees. "Naturalist Zhiyun: Wang Su, Zhang Heng, and Ma Jun traveled in the morning in the fog, one person drank, one person was full, one person was fasting, the fasting person died, the full one was sick, and the drinker was healthy", indicating that drinking alcohol can remove filth and enhance the ability to resist diseases. And pointed out that "it is advisable to drink cold, there are three benefits, too much for the lungs, into the stomach, and then slightly warm ......."But don't drink freely", telling us that we can't drink excessively, and we need to pay attention to conditioning after drinking, and we can't be exposed to the wind, bathe in cold water, eat spicy things, drink tea, etc., "drunk and lying in the wind, it will become madness." Drunk bath cold water into pain paralysis. Eat mustard and spicy food after drinking, and relieve people's muscles and bones. Drinking tea after drinking hurts the kidneys".
Alcoholism is considered when excessive alcohol consumption exceeds the individual's adaptive metabolic capacity, such as excessive speech, incoherent speech, emotional instability, nausea, vomiting, rude behavior, unsteady gait, and coma. Severe alcoholism can cause inhibition of cerebral cortical function, paralysis of the respiratory center, respiratory and circulatory failure, and vomiting leading to aspiration and asphyxia, or hypothermia, all of which are life-threatening.
Recently, there has been snowfall in many places, the weather is relatively cold, 120 visits to the clinic encountered a patient lying on the side of the road after drinking, prone and curled up body, check the patient's loss of consciousness, bilateral pupils dilated and fixed, light reflex disappeared, breathing and heartbeat stopped, the whole body is cyanosis and cold, dark red blood stains can be seen around the mouth, and can smell alcohol, urinary incontinence, immediately give cardiopulmonary resuscitation, tracheal intubation and ventilator assisted ventilation, adrenaline needle application, and lift the patient to the ambulance, keep warm, etc. **, After about 1 hour of rescue, the patient recovered his spontaneous heart rhythm, and after completing the CT examination, the patient's brain was swollen, the right lung was greatly consolidated, and a large number of foreign bodies in the trachea could be seen under the fibroscopy, but the prognosis of this patient was extremely poor. It is considered that the cause of respiratory cardiac arrest in this patient may be aspiration asphyxia, and the possibility of hypothermia in a cold environment for a long time after intoxication cannot be ruled out.
Hypothermia refers to the decrease in the core temperature of the human body, gradually appearing chills, cold hands and feet, increased urination, increased respiratory rate, abnormal behavior, rapid heart rate, and in severe cases, confusion, coma, loss of nerve reflexes, decreased heart rate, malignant arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and even death. Therefore, in cold weather, try to go home or live together after being drunk, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid accidents that endanger your life. After alcohol poisoning, you can take kudzu soup, mung bean soup and other hangovers. Drink healthy and have a happy holiday!
Have a healthy Spring Festival.
