Stroke in the summer, why?
Long hot weather makes the body tired, sick, especially those with chronic diseases, a history of hypertension, and so on, if the weather is hot, it is very easy to have a stroke.
People who have had a stroke are also more likely to have recurrences if they do not know how to prevent it.
1. Myths.
Stroke is a fatal disease, if not know how to properly manage the emergency, easy to paralysis mild to severe.
Many people think, think brain stroke only in the cold season.
However, in the hot season is also prone to catastrophe.
Due to erratic summer weather, high day and night temperature variations.
On hot days, high humidity, fatigue, as well as loss of water through breathing, sweating, can also cause hemodynamic disturbances, which can be fatal, especially in people. middle aged, elderly
Due to the aging of organs in the body, adaptation to the environment, not as fast as youth.
On the other hand, to counteract the increase in body temperature, pre-temperature of the environment, or heat gain due to exercise, sports play, the body regulates temperature adaptation, by increasing the sweating, to cool the body.
Sweating leads to body dehydration and salts, which in turn can lead to decreased circulation in the body.
If the rehydration, salt is not timely, it is easy to cause hypotension, cerebral ischemia, transient brain transplant.
In the case of having a history of atherosclerosis, hyperlipaemia with loss of water, decreased circulation,
Blood circulation will be difficult, very easy to form thrombosis, block the cerebral blood vessels, causing cerebral vascular accident.
Atherosclerosis, thrombosis, vascular occlusion, can cause cerebral vascular accident.
2. Causes and risk factors.
All direct or indirect causes, partial or total, of the ability to deliver blood to a part or the entire brain, can cause cerebrovascular disease.
Atherosclerosis causes blood vessel stenosis, thrombosis causes vascular occlusion:increased blood fat, diabetes mellitus, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, and so on.
Other factors, which increase the risk of cerebrovascular accident, in the elderly in the summer are:afraid to drink water, urine night, urine several times lower blood pressure, posture suddenly rise in bed, men due to prostate disease, female due to muscular weakness of the bladder, and so on.
Degeneration of the cervical vertebrae, causing compression of the two arteries of the cervical vertebrae, supplying the brain with blood.
In addition, for people suffering from nervous stress, insomnia, are also prone to cerebral vascular accident.
3. Management of cerebrovascular accident.
Always think of cerebral vascular events, before all cases, sudden neurological symptoms, or acute.
Suggested cues include:confusion, localized seizures, motor impairment, or decreased sensation, paralysis, somnolence, partial paralysis.
Speech disorder, difficult speech, apologetic speech.
Visual disorders, blind, semi-sharp.
Paralysis of the cranial nerve.
Abnormal or acute nature, which may be immediate, or within minutes to hours.
Some cases of cerebrovascular accident, may appear relatively quiet secretly, which is difficult to recognize in clinical.
As indicated above, should be treated properly by:The family should loosen clothing, and let the patient lying on the plane, help the patient lying safely lying position, knee height about 30 degrees, and in Tilt position, to avoid the risk of choking due to secretions from the mouth.
Patients should be ventilated to avoid seizures.
Absolutely do not let the patient eat, drink anything, when the patient has a stroke, and do not voluntarily give the patient any medication.
If the patient has difficulty breathing, or has an episode of apnea, a family member, or a witness, should perform CPR by mouth, in order to prevent the patient from breathing.
Help the patient to breathe even deeper and slower, so that they calm down again, and blood and oxygen can flow to the brain faster.
After first aid, it is necessary to quickly bring the patient to the nearest medical facility, to be promptly rescued, to avoid bringing the patient away, because of the long travel time, which makes the condition worse. , and a higher risk of death.
4. Doctor advice.
For good prevention of cerebrovascular accident, summer should be noted:eat enough, drink enough water according to the needs of the body.
Prevents hyperlipidemia, as it increases blood fat that causes cerebral atherosclerosis, thickens blood and elevates blood pressure.
The consequences of hyperlipidaemia, which will facilitate the occurrence of cerebrovascular accident.
Prevention of excessive weight gain, overweight, obesity.
Anti-aging, atherosclerosis, antitussive, non-smoking, diabetes treatment, hypertension treatment, and so on.
Use reasonable air conditioning.
Do not drink much alcohol, because drinking alcohol causes vasodilatation, hypotension posture.
Regular use causes fatty liver, increase blood fat, cirrhosis.
