Carbon monoxide often appears in our lives. If we don't pay attention to it, we may produce carbon monoxide, and it is prone to carbon monoxide poisoning. So what are the sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning? How can we get rid of these sequelae? Here is a brief analysis:
Carbon monoxide poisoning sequelae:
is diverse and can be roughly divided into three types.
①Dementia: Mainly manifested as unresponsiveness, dull expression, sluggishness, silence, decreased intelligence, poor memory, loss of control over bowel and bowel, and impaired consciousness.
②Insanity type: manifested as behavioral disorder, incoherent speech, impermanence in crying and laughing, urinating and defecating at will, talking to oneself, loss of orientation.
③Dyskinesia type: mainly with dyskinesia with decreased intelligence, manifested as unstable walking, small broken steps, and rigid limbs.
How to get rid of the sequelae of poisoning:
(1) Instruct patients to stay in bed during the acute phase, and supine position is better, to ensure the supply of cerebral blood flow and reduce cerebral ischemia.
(2) Maintain the functional position of the paralyzed limb and help the patient to do passive movement of the affected limb and joint.
(3) After the condition is stable, encourage the patient to take active exercises. Get out of bed as soon as possible, and guide the training from getting up, balancing the affected limb, standing, and walking, gradually increasing the range and frequency of activities, and later assisting in up and down stairs training, so that the affected limb Getting exercise is conducive to functional recovery.
Causes of carbon monoxide poisoning:
Carbon monoxide is around us. We should be familiar with it. Most of the gas we use in our daily life is carbon monoxide. So how much do you know about carbon monoxide?
In most cases of carbon monoxide (ie gas) poisoning, the air does not circulate, so that the carbon monoxide gas floating in the air cannot be discharged, resulting in the concentration.
According to the test, when the car is running, when the engine speed is 1500~3000 rpm, there will be no excessive carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas discharged;
This means that when the engine is idling at idle speed, there will be insufficient combustion, and the exhaust gas often contains a large amount of carbon monoxide;
During operation, when the throttle is too high and the speed exceeds 3000 rpm, the ratio of oil to air exceeds the normal 1:12.5. There is more oil and less air, and exhaust gas containing extremely carbon monoxide will also appear.
In the production process of steelmaking, coking, kiln, etc., the furnace door or kiln door is not closed tightly, the gas pipeline leaks, and the exhaust gas from automobiles can escape a large amount of carbon monoxide.
A large amount of carbon monoxide is produced when the gun smoke from the drilling and blasting of the mine and the coal mine gas explode. In the chemical industry, ammonia, methanol, and acetone are all exposed to carbon monoxide.
In the north of our country, carbon monoxide poisoning is more frequent. It is because the northern weather is cold and people often use charcoal fires for heating, which leads to more poisonings. In cities, there are many gas pipes, so it is very likely to be poisoned.
Turning on the air conditioner when the vehicle is started can also easily lead to increased carbon monoxide poisoning. In order to save energy, most of the doors and windows of air-conditioned vehicles are airtight, and it is difficult for the air inside and outside the vehicle to convection.
Only after the car is started, the air passes through the air-conditioning equipment to produce convection.
Therefore, if the air-conditioning is still turned on when the car is stopped, the carbon monoxide emitted by the engine may gradually accumulate in the car, and the occupants in the car will breathe and consume oxygen and emit carbon dioxide. If you feel poisoned, you will lose consciousness. In severe cases, you will lose your life.
We are all familiar with carbon monoxide poisoning. Many people who encounter carbon monoxide cannot handle it correctly, and there are certain misunderstandings, which can cause serious consequences and regret. Today, the editor will introduce common misunderstandings to everyone, hoping to play a positive role in the treatment of gas poisoning.
Misunderstanding 1
The gas is poisoned. Splashing cold water on her face will wake up. There is a story: a mother found out that her son and daughter-in-law had gas in the gas. She quickly pulled her son out of the bed and placed it in the yard, and splashed cold water on her son.
When she tried to pull her daughter-in-law out of the bed, the ambulance arrived. Due to lack of oxygen and cold stimulation, her son's breathing and heartbeat stopped, and her life returned to Huangquan; her daughter-in-law was rescued from the danger by the hospital.
Another grandfather and grandson were hit by gas at the same time. The people in the village carried the two outside the house without any measures to keep warm. Both of them were breathing when the ambulance arrived. When the ambulance arrived, the grandfather had died of anger. The grandson suffered multiple organ damage to the heart, brain and kidney due to severe hypoxia. He died two days later.
Cold stimulation will not only aggravate the hypoxia condition, but also cause the disturbance of the peripheral circulation, induce shock and death. Therefore, if gas poisoning is found, you must keep warm after moving out of the poisoned environment and call "120" for help quickly.
Misunderstanding 2
There is a smell of rotten eggs and scum. It is the smell of gas and some low-quality coal that burns, which can cause headaches and dizziness.
And pure coal gas is carbon monoxide gas, which is colorless and odorless, and is produced when carbon is incompletely burned;
The smell of the gas in the gas tank is that a certain amount of odorous gas, such as hydrogen sulfide, has been added to the gas when the gas tank is filled. The irritating odor will remind people whether there is a gas leak. , Is a "warning gas";
The carbon monoxide produced when coal is burned directly has no smell. This situation is even more dangerous. People will be poisoned without warning.
Therefore, it is completely wrong to think that there is no smell of scum in the house and there will be no gas poisoning.
If you have to burn coal indoors, you can choose to install a carbon monoxide alarm indoors, which can serve as a warning and avoid poisoning.
Misunderstanding 3
Putting a basin of clean water next to the gas stove can prevent gas poisoning. It is scientifically proven that carbon monoxide is a gas insoluble in water. What is the use of putting clean water?
To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, the key is not to close doors and windows too tightly or install exhaust fans or carbon monoxide alarms. It is more important to maintain good ventilation and alertness.
Misunderstanding 4
The gas is poisoned. If you wake up, you will be fine. There is still such a story:
One person was too deeply poisoned by gas, causing a deep coma and incontinence. After being actively rescued by the hospital, the patient recovered two days later and was asked to be discharged. The doctor repeatedly kept it to no avail.
Later, after returning home, the patient not only suffered from headaches, dizziness and other problems, but also suffered severe memory loss, but also developed neuropsychiatric symptoms such as impermanence in crying and lack of concentration.
It was later confirmed that despite the patient's condition, there was still carbon monoxide in the body, and the body's hypoxia condition had not completely returned to normal, which led to so many sequelae later, and the family regretted the patient's early discharge.
Ensuring ventilation is the first choice to prevent gas poisoning, especially when taking a bath, the exhaust fan must be turned on. If possible, electric water heaters can be used instead of gas water heaters to reduce the possibility of gas poisoning, but at the same time, pay attention to the safety of electricity;
For citizens who have to use gas or coal, they must ensure indoor ventilation. You can also choose to install a carbon monoxide alarm in the gas stove or the room where coal is commonly used in order to detect the indoor carbon monoxide exceeding the standard early and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
Four misunderstandings about carbon monoxide poisoning: patients with gas poisoning must be treated by the hospital's system before they can be discharged from the hospital. Generally, they must receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy; those who already have complications or sequelae should take oral medications or other symptomatic treatments after they are discharged from the hospital.
It takes one or two years for patients with severe gas poisoning to be completely cured. It is not that simple to wake up is equal to complete healing. Hypoxia in vital organs of the body is not a trivial matter.
Conclusion: Through the above description, everyone must have a more comprehensive understanding of the sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is difficult to feel carbon monoxide poisoning without sound and color, but the consequences of poisoning will be more serious, and the sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning will be more difficult to treat, so you must use it carefully in your life.
