Speaking of carbon monoxide poisoning

Everyone's first reaction is that winter is the peak period

In fact, summer also requires vigilance

Recently, a family of eight in Jimo District, Qingdao

Eating charcoal hot pot causes carbon monoxide poisoning

Three adults and five children out of eight

The oldest child is 11 years old

The youngest is only 3 years old

Fortunately, they all escaped after prompt treatment.

Air conditioning + charcoal hot pot, throwing down a family of eight

At noon one day not long ago, a family of eight in Jimo District was eating charcoal hot pot with the air conditioner turned on at home. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, all eight of them suffered from varying degrees of headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

Among the eight people were three adults and five children, the oldest being 11 years old and the youngest being just 3 years old.

At about 10 o'clock that night, a family of eight drove to the emergency department of the Qingdao Municipal Hospital. The results of the blood gas analysis showed that the carboxyhemoglobin indicators were abnormal. It was considered carbon monoxide poisoning and urgent hyperbaric oxygen treatment was required.

After nearly two hours of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, dizziness, nausea and other discomforts of the eight patients were significantly relieved.

Still need to beware of carbon monoxide poisoning in summer

Coincidentally. Before the above case occurred, the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Qingdao Municipal Hospital had just successfully treated a family of five who had been poisoned by carbon monoxide due to the use of charcoal to boil water.

Director Wang Jun reminded that the high incidence of carbon monoxide poisoning is generally in winter, but one should be vigilant in summer.

The initial symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and general weakness.

Carbon monoxide poisoning may cause carbon monoxide poisoning encephalopathy, which can cause people to become vegetative or even fatal.

In the air-conditioned room for a long time in summer, it should be properly ventilated to keep the indoor air fresh and allow the air to form convection. Once poisoning is found, the first thing to do is to quickly open the doors and windows and move the poisoned person to a ventilated place as soon as possible. If the other party is already in a coma, he must be sent to the hospital immediately.
