In fact, there are not a few people around us who die suddenly because of unscientific fitness or various reasons, and they are gradually on the rise.
On the evening of April 8th, Yang Mai, the 54-year-old president of Ericsson (China) Co., Ltd., died suddenly on the treadmill in the gym because of overwork. 1June 10, Xu, a junior in a university near Dingjiaqiao, Nanjing, died suddenly in the dormitory. The student went to a nearby Internet cafe for three days before his death and didn't wake up after going back to the dormitory to sleep. 10 6 16, Yang, a student in the Department of Materials Chemistry, College of Physics, Lanzhou University, died suddenly while doing a chemical experiment. His family said that Yang was in good health and had no history of heart disease. ...
Experts pointed out that the death of these people is probably caused by unscientific fitness or long-term fatigue, so we have to be vigilant and pay attention to avoiding the tragedy of sudden death.
Of course, avoiding sudden death in sports does not mean stopping exercise and fitness. On the contrary, stopping or reducing beneficial fitness activities may also reduce heart function and increase the probability of problems. Therefore, people should be guided by scientific knowledge, pay attention to strengthening medical supervision, do what they can according to their own conditions, and exercise more reasonably, so as to achieve the purpose of keeping fit and resisting diseases.
Experts believe that exercise and fitness must be adapted to one's physical strength, especially middle-aged and elderly people and people with poor physical strength, and should decide the amount of exercise according to one's physical condition and reduce the intensity. If you have chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitation, headache, nausea, etc. In the process of exercise, we should gradually slow down the speed of exercise and then have a full rest, so as to reduce or avoid the occurrence of vicious accidents.
In addition, Professor Gao, the chief physician of the Department of Sports Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital, suggested that if people exercise too hard in the cold climate in winter, it is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and lead to sudden death, they can choose to exercise between noon and 2 pm. During this period, people's emotions are relatively stable and safe. After sudden death, if you don't get timely and effective treatment within 4-6 minutes, your brain will be irreversibly damaged, and someone will die after more than 8 minutes. Therefore, if someone is found to suddenly lose consciousness and fall to the ground during exercise, the person who is found should immediately lie flat, pat his cheek and call, and touch his carotid artery with his hand to determine whether there is pulsation. If there is no response and no arterial pulsation, he should perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. During the rescue, the patient's head should be tilted back to clear the airway, and then effective chest compression and mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration should be carried out. These basic rescue measures should last until professional emergency personnel arrive.
Foreign sports medicine experts believe that in order to avoid sudden death in sports, the following three preventive measures can be taken.
Primary prevention: prevention is carried out among people who have not had heart disease before, because 25% of sudden death comes from this group. For athletes, it is necessary to ensure medical examination and follow-up, which will help to better distinguish sports heart disease from pathological heart disease and find potentially fatal congenital heart disease. Primary prevention is more about strengthening publicity and education for patients, such as recommending moderate and low intensity exercise, emphasizing appropriate warm-up activities and relaxation exercises, modifying the rules of the game to reduce confrontation, and exercising according to the environment.
Secondary prevention: prevention is carried out in people with coronary heart disease or other cardiac abnormalities, because most sudden deaths have a history of coronary heart disease. For athletes and ordinary people, the key is to reduce risk factors and find early symptoms in time. Paying more attention and taking active precautions at ordinary times can completely avoid misfortune.
Tertiary prevention: refers to the treatment of acute cardiac arrest to prevent the development of sudden cardiac death. Mainly to provide on-site medical supervision, establish a first aid system, make it reverse in time and save lives.
