With the gradual control of the global epidemic, people's lives are gradually returning to normal, and returning to work and school has become a major issue in the current society. However, in this pandemic, we have to be wary of a health threat called "economy class syndrome". This article will provide an in-depth analysis of this phenomenon and remind people to pay attention to their health and prevent potential risks in the process of returning to work and school.
1. Definition and causes of economy class syndrome.
Economy class syndrome, also known as long-haul flight syndrome, refers to diseases such as venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in the lower limbs due to narrow space, sedentary lifestyle, and poor blood circulation due to long time on an airplane, especially in economy class. This phenomenon originated in the 1970s, when a long-haul passenger died suddenly after a flight, and the cause of death was found to be a pulmonary embolism. Since then, similar cases have gradually increased among passengers on long-haul flights, which has attracted the attention of the medical community.
Second, the threat of economy class syndrome.
Although economy class syndrome first appeared in passengers on long-haul flights, its threat has gradually permeated our daily lives. With the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, people have returned to work and school, sitting in small spaces such as offices, classrooms, and cars for a long time, and sedentary and poor blood circulation are becoming more and more common. This makes the threat of economy class syndrome even more serious, and it is worth our vigilance.
3. Health risks of economy class syndrome.
Sitting in small spaces for long periods of time, especially sedentary lifestyle, can lead to vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. Once the blood clot breaks off, it can travel with the bloodstream to the lungs and cause pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. In addition, maintaining the same posture for a long time may also lead to diseases of the cervical spine, lumbar spine and other parts. For people with cardiovascular disease, the risk of economy class syndrome is even more severe.
4. How to prevent economy class syndrome.
In order to protect against the threat of economy class syndrome, we need to take a series of precautions. First of all, when sitting in a small space for a long time, you should adjust your posture in time and do some simple exercises, such as stretching, kicking, etc., to promote blood circulation. Second, maintaining adequate water intake can help prevent blood clots. In addition, wearing loose-fitting clothing and avoiding sedentary lifestyles are also important measures to prevent economy class syndrome.
5. Be vigilant against health threats in the process of returning to work and school.
In the process of returning to work and school, we must always be vigilant against the health threat of economy class syndrome. Especially people who sit in small spaces such as offices, classrooms, and cars for a long time should pay more attention to their own health. If you feel unwell, you should seek medical attention in time and do not ignore it.
In short, economy class syndrome, as a health threat, has gradually become a problem that we need to pay attention to. In the process of returning to work and school, we need to take measures to prevent potential risks and protect our own health. At the same time, it is also necessary to raise the awareness of economy class syndrome in the society, so that more people can understand this phenomenon and jointly protect their health.
