A Xi'an man's father had a heart attack and was not allowed to leave the property. He died before reaching the hospital. What do you think?

The tragedy happened again. According to relevant reports, a Xi'an netizen posted that his father had a heart attack at noon on January 2. His family called 120, 110 and related epidemic prevention hotlines, but they were either unable to get through or arranged. It took time, so they had no choice but to go to the medical center closest to home that was still accepting patients, but the security guard refused to go out because it was a medium-risk area. In the end, the family contacted many hospitals and drove from house to house, wasting time little by little. In the end, his father underwent surgery 8 hours after the myocardial infarction. However, due to the long delay, the best rescue time was missed. The 61-year-old father passed away in the early morning of January 3.

The doctor said that if thrombolytic drugs are used within 2 hours of the onset of the disease, the patient can be cured. Unfortunately, it was too late. We can all feel the powerlessness, helplessness, heartache and regret through the text. In the process of asking for help, the family always cooperated with various epidemic prevention measures rationally, but the response of relevant departments and personnel, especially the property security personnel, The approach is chilling.

What it exposes is not a problem of a hospital, nor a problem of a company, but the loopholes of the entire emergency system. Throughout the entire process where things could have been saved but were not, every mistake and omission makes people feel guilty. Life-saving is a matter of seconds and lives mattering. Epidemic prevention is a big deal during the epidemic, but we cannot isolate the virus and cut off the passage of life.

So if you have a sudden myocardial infarction, how to give first aid?

Myocardial infarction is a critical illness and requires emergency rescue. Rescue in the hospital is the behavior of medical staff and cannot be done by non-professionals. Here, we only talk about some of the self-rescue behaviors of family members.

First, in the event of an emergency, if the patient has chest pain, or has unexplained difficulty breathing, profuse sweating, chest tightness and other abnormalities, he should immediately call 120 emergency number and give a brief explanation to the medical staff. Symptoms and leave detailed address, including house number, nearby landmarks, etc.

Second, family members should not wait until medical staff arrive. They can ask the patient to lie down, stay calm, and do not move around. If you have difficulty breathing, you can raise the pillow or take a seat according to the condition to comfort the patient not to be nervous and relieve anxiety.

Third, those who have the conditions can breathe oxygen, and can also measure blood pressure, heart rate, etc., to provide reference for medical staff.

Fourth, after the medical staff arrive, they assist in completing the electrocardiogram operation and completing the patient transport. In an emergency, don't be picky about whether you should be carried away or not. Time is life, and the strong cooperation of family members can also win rescue time for the patient. Successful rescue is the goal shared by family members and medical staff.

Fifth, after being transferred to the hospital, follow the professional doctor’s treatment opinions and plans, perform intervention when necessary, perform thrombolysis when necessary, and sign when necessary. Don't get too hung up on this issue to avoid wasting time.

Myocardial infarction (referred to as myocardial infarction) is a clinical critical illness. If not treated in time (especially for people with large-scale myocardial infarction and coronary artery blockage), it can often lead to arrhythmia, heart failure, shock and even Sudden death and other unpredictable serious consequences. Correct identification and active treatment are the most effective ways to improve patient prognosis. Emergency treatment of myocardial infarction includes treatment outside the hospital and within the hospital. With timely and correct treatment, patients can often live like normal people until old age.

For us non-medical workers, we first need to know what myocardial infarction is and its main manifestations. Myocardial infarction is an acute and persistent blockage of the coronary arteries, resulting in myocardial ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis. Patients mainly present with persistent, squeezing, severe pain in the precordium or retrosternal area, often feeling like they are suffocating (cannot breathe out) and dying, which may be accompanied by referred pain in the shoulders and back. We need to be vigilant for people with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and underlying coronary artery disease, or those who have had angina pectoris attacks in the past, have had frequent attacks recently, and have the above typical symptoms at the same time. However, we need to be vigilant that some patients may have atypical symptoms.

When a patient has a myocardial infarction outside the hospital, our first task is to have the patient lie down immediately and pay attention to avoid moving; before the emergency personnel arrive, we must pay attention to monitoring the patient's consciousness and general condition; if conditions permit, The patient can first be given sublingual nitroglycerin, but attention should be paid to monitoring changes in the patient's blood pressure; for clear myocardial infarction, if we have aspirin and/or Plavix in hand, we can first give the patient an oral loading dose of the above drugs (aspirin 300mg, Plavix 300mg, one-time oral administration), but it should be noted that the above drugs cannot be used blindly when other diseases causing chest pain (such as aortic dissection, etc.) cannot be identified.
