Doctors: 80% of sudden deaths are sudden cardiac deaths
Some emergency experts pointed out that judging from the video of the game, Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground and convulsed without contact, and died after being sent to the hospital, which is basically in line with the situation of sudden sports death.
According to Life Times, among the various scenarios of sudden death, it is not uncommon for unexpected events to occur during exercise, and according to the etiology, sudden cardiac death is the most common, accounting for about 80%. Sudden death typically presents with sudden loss of consciousness and may be accompanied by local or generalized convulsions, cyanosis, incontinence, rapid apnea, and dilated pupils.
Cardiac arrest does not mean death, the 4 minutes after cardiac arrest are called the "golden 4 minutes", but the ambulance usually cannot reach the patient within these 4 minutes, which depends on the people around the patient to rescue, so cardiopulmonary resuscitation is necessary.
