Hypoglycemia often leads to fainting. If there is no emergency treatment in time, it is likely to be life-threatening. Let's follow Xiaobian together.
I. hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia refers to the hyperactivity of sympathetic nerve and brain dysfunction caused by the concentration of blood glucose lower than a certain level. Severe cases can be comatose. The patient first had hunger, fatigue, numbness of limbs, emotional uneasiness, pale face, dizziness, vomiting, panic, chest tightness, etc. In severe cases, the skin is wet and cold, the vomiting is not clear, the attention is not focused, sometimes there are convulsions, convulsions, unconsciousness, incontinence, coma, etc.
2. Hypoglycemia can be divided into two types
1. Adrenergic symptoms include sweating, nervousness, tremor, weakness, vertigo, palpitation, and hunger, which are attributed to increased sympathetic activity and increased adrenaline release (which may occur in adrenalectomy patients).
2. The manifestations of central nervous system include confusion of consciousness, abnormal behavior (may be mistaken for drunkenness), visual impairment, stupor, coma and epilepsy. Hypoglycemia coma often has hypothermia. The rate of hypoglycemia caused by sympathetic symptoms is faster than that caused by central nervous symptoms, but the degree of hypoglycemia is light. No matter which type, there are obvious individual differences in blood glucose level.
III. first aid measures for hypoglycemia
1. Absolute bed rest and rapid glucose supplementation are the key to the prognosis. Timely supplement of sugar will completely relieve the symptoms, while delayed treatment will lead to irreversible brain damage. Therefore, it should be emphasized that at the time of hypoglycemia, any substance with higher sugar content, such as biscuits, juice, etc., should be given immediately. Severe patients should pay attention to the inhalation pneumonia or atelectasis caused by food inhalation.
2. For hypoglycemia patients who can eat by themselves, their diet should be low in sugar, high in protein, high in fat, less in food and more in meals. If necessary, they should drink sugar once at midnight.
3. Intravenous injection of 40-60ml 50% glucose is the most common and effective way to rescue hypoglycemia. If the disease is not serious and the brain function is seriously damaged by water supply, the symptoms can be relieved quickly and the mind can be immediately awake.
4. Patients with conditions should immediately use a blood glucose meter to measure the blood glucose. If the blood glucose is less than 3.8 mmol / L, they should quickly add carbohydrate containing food, such as half a cup of sweet juice, half a cup of sugar water, 1 tablespoon of honey, 3-5 biscuits, 3-4 pieces of sugar, 2-3 pieces of candy, etc. After 10-15 minutes, if the symptoms haven't disappeared, you can take it again.
If the symptom is eliminated, but there is more than 1 hour left before the next meal, add a staple food, such as 1 piece of bread, 1 steamed bread, 3 to 5 biscuits, etc. In case of unconsciousness or sudden coma, the family members shall send the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.
