It's cerebral infarction, cardiac arrest, cold water bath in winter

Bathing is a must every day. However, it's cold in winter. Many people like to take a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the day. But recently, the news reported that a man even took a shower with cold water and his brain was blocked. What's the matter?

Cerebral infarction caused by cooling

It's really cold these days. However, in such cold days, there are still some people who, relying on their youth and enthusiasm, even take a cold shower directly. As a result, cerebral infarction and cardiac arrest occur. If it is not timely rescue by doctors, the consequences will be unimaginable. Yesterday, the reporter learned from Donghua Hospital that after nearly 10 days of treatment, the 31 year old patient's health has gradually stabilized and is gradually improving, but he can't be discharged. As for the cause of his illness, the doctor said that he bathed in cold water, the temperature difference was too large, and the vasoconstriction and spasm of the patient's head caused serious stroke. It happened on the night of December 4 that Li Jun (pseudonym) of the patient prepared to take a bath before going to bed.

Suddenly, he found that the gas bottle was empty and it was too late to change it. He thought about flushing it with cold water. Anyway, he was in good physical condition at ordinary times and could bear a little cold. In this way, he began to take a shower directly with cold water. At first, he felt a little cold. Slowly, he didn't feel very cold. He thought his body had adapted to the temperature. When he came out of the bathroom, he still felt hot all over. However, after a while, he washed his head with cold water and felt a little bit painful. The pain became more and more severe. What's more, he began to find that he had no energy.

Half of the body didn't seem to listen to the call, and his face was getting whiter and whiter. Feeling that something was wrong with him, he immediately called his companion and wanted to go to the hospital for examination. They took a taxi to Donghua Hospital. When they got to the door of the emergency room, their companion helped them step by step. He didn't even think that at this moment, danger was falling on his head. When Li Jun arrived at Donghua Hospital, it was already 10:00 p.m., the nurse on duty found that his body was stiff, his face was pale, and his eyes were staring at him. Then she asked him to lie on the bed, quickly pushed the bed into the green channel, and sent it to the rescue room.

The medical staff who received him quickly assessed his condition. But in such a short time of one or two minutes, the doctor found that Li Jun had lost his sense of what he should not have called and breathed like a sigh. His pupils narrowed, his reflex to light disappeared, his heart stopped beating, and he could die at any time. The situation was extremely critical. The hospital immediately increased the number of staff, five medical staff immediately formed a rescue team, work together, a race against the clock rescue began, heart pressure, ECG monitoring, the establishment of vein Channel & hellip; & hellip; after nearly an hour of rescue, to 23:10, Li Jun's vital signs gradually stabilized, and then was sent to the emergency intensive care unit for treatment.

After nearly 10 days of treatment, Li Jun's health has gradually stabilized and is gradually improving, but he can't be discharged. It's really because he took a cold bath, which led to such serious consequences. Did it almost kill him? The doctor said that it was true. He bathed in cold water, the temperature difference was too big, and his head vasoconstriction and spasm seriously led to stroke and severe headache. The temperature difference caused by taking off clothes during bathing may aggravate the vasoconstriction, make the blood pressure rise instantaneously, and lead to such crises as cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, brain tumor rupture, etc., let alone wash the body directly with cold water. Doctors say it's affected by cold air.

Many people will take a cold bath to exercise in winter, but do you know? It takes courage to take a bath in winter, let alone cold water. Besides, some people are not suitable for cold baths in winter.

1. hypertension

As soon as the skin contacts cold water, the blood vessels contract rapidly, and a large amount of blood flows back to the internal organs, making the originally high blood pressure even higher. Severe cases can lead to cerebrovascular rupture, hemorrhage, stroke, coma and even death. People with slightly increased blood pressure can take a cold bath, but they can only take it slowly, that is, sprinkle with cold water first, rub some parts of the body, and don't take a "cold treatment" all at once.

2. People who are allergic to cold

Such as cold urticaria, pruritus patients, do not take a cold bath during the onset of the disease. If you don't want to exercise your skin, you can gradually reduce the temperature, that is, take a hot bath at first, gradually change to a warm bath, and then step by step reduce the water temperature until the water temperature is quite low but no disease occurs.

3. Patients with sciatica and arthritis

When the nerves get cold and cold, the disease will be more severe.

4. People who have been taking hot baths

People who have been taking a hot bath suddenly take a cold bath, which will speed up their heart rate, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc., and will be easy to catch a cold.
