"Doctor, please help me take a look, I'm so uncomfortable here!" At about 20:30 on October 7, the 2024 Shanghai Rolex Masters was in full swing, and a man rushed into the office of the medical security team of the central venue, his face was full of pain, his face was pale, and he kept shouting that his chest was uncomfortable.
It turned out that he was a photographer in the arena and suddenly felt unwell at work. The on-site support medical team immediately started the treatment process. Emergency doctor Huang Peilan carried out emergency rescue for the patient, first aid officer Lu Chao assisted the doctor in inhaling oxygen for the patient, and other medical staff simultaneously measured the patient's vital signs and found that the patient's blood pressure was abnormally elevated.
It was understood that the patient usually had hypertension, and he had a tight work schedule recently, and he forgot to take oral antihypertensive drugs on time on the same day. The medical team immediately administered medication to lower blood pressure urgently, transferred him to an ambulance and proceeded with further medication.
After 20 minutes, the patient was taken to the Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital. Acute chest pain is a dangerous and abnormal condition, and after completing relevant imaging examinations in the Fifth Hospital, it was found that the patient had aortic dissection, and his life was hanging by a thread, and he was at risk of cardiac arrest at any time. The medical team immediately treated him.
The District Health Commission reminds that patients with hypertension should be cautious about their physical health, take medication according to the doctor's instructions to control their blood pressure, and avoid emergencies and serious complications caused by blood pressure fluctuations.
Reminder
The main cause of aortic dissection is high blood pressure, if you have the following symptoms, you must seek medical attention or call 120:
1. Pain: Sudden and persistent unbearable severe pain in the chest and back, such as "tearing" or "knife cutting", accompanied by a sense of impending death, which cannot be relieved by morphine drugs.
2. Abnormal blood pressure: high blood pressure, increased blood pressure difference in the limbs or low blood pressure.
3. Manifestations of organ and limb ischemia: when the dissection involves the blood supply of the splanchnic artery, limb artery and spinal cord, the corresponding organ tissue ischemia can occur, such as renal ischemia, lower limb ischemia or paraplegia and other neurological symptoms.
4. Rupture: Manifestations of hemorrhagic shock, such as paleness, clammy limbs, profuse sweating, extreme irritability, and decreased blood pressure.
In life, we should also do a good job of prevention and control of high-risk factors:
1. Actively control blood pressure: patients with high blood pressure should take medication regularly for a long time and monitor their blood pressure to control their blood pressure within a reasonable range;
2. Actively prevent and treat atherosclerosis: including monitoring blood sugar and blood lipids, attaching importance to the treatment of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and actively controlling the progression of the disease;
3. Active treatment of hereditary or acquired arterial vascular diseases: control or delay the progression of such diseases as soon as possible to reduce the damage to the body's arteries and blood vessels.
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the awareness of prevention:
1. Avoid excessive fluctuations in blood pressure: maintain good sleep and mood, and avoid risk factors that are easy to induce aortic dissection, such as emotional agitation, staying up late, excessive fatigue, sudden force, weight-bearing, straining to defecate, full meal, high cold and high fever;
2. Ensure a reasonable diet: eat a low-salt and low-fat diet, pay attention to eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber and easy to digest;
3. Pay attention to a healthy lifestyle: ensure regular work and rest, appropriate exercise, quit smoking and limit alcohol, etc.
