"Doctor, come, come, my classmate is almost out of reach!" At about 11 a.m. on September 26, a group of students shouted for help at the door of the Emergency Emergency Center of Changsha Fourth Hospital.

Medical staff immediately sent the patient to the emergency room and found that the patient was gasping for breath, breathing rapidly, his hands and feet were stiff, and his hands were stiff in the shape of chicken feet. What is this situation?

Emergency doctors quickly judged that this is the common hyperventilation syndrome , which is a group of syndromes induced by factors such as anxiety or stress response, mainly manifested by shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

Director of the Emergency Emergency Center of Yuelu Hospital and Director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of explained that the disease is often caused by excessive fatigue, anger, and mental tension in the patient, which stimulates the excitation of the autonomic nerves and causes the respiratory rate to accelerate. Then, the carbon dioxide in the body is constantly exhaled, and eventually excessive excretion, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and causing respiratory alkalosis. If not improved, organ failure may occur.

After a series of emergency treatments by medical staff at the emergency emergency center, the patient's breathing gradually stabilized and his hands and feet were relieved.

So, if hyperventilation occurs, how should first aid be done?

excludes life-threatening situations. Such as myocardial infarction, asthma , pulmonary embolism , pneumothorax , etc. If such a situation occurs, you should go to the nearest hospital or call 120 first aid as soon as possible.

uses "rebreathing method". Use a clean paper bag, plastic bag or newspaper to buckle it to the patient's mouth and nose, so that the patient's exhaled gas is re-inserted, and at the same time calms the patient's emotions, reminds him to slow down his breathing, and eliminates fear and tension.

seek medical treatment in time. If the patient has long-term abnormalities or serious symptoms, he or she should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. For example, persistent dyspnea, rapid breathing; severe chest tightness or pain; blurred vision, fainting, dysfunction of consciousness or other critical situations, be sure to pay attention and call the emergency number in time.
