Experts say chronic diseases in Tibet Tour pal Shen small cold in plateau can be deadly

October 21stShanghaiJin Ling's 31 birthday girl. 4 days ago, is through the Xinjiang-Tibet lineTravelingShe, in micro-blog wrote, may be in the birthdayLhasa. But two days ago, but Jin Ling life perishes Tianlu, poured in from the Lhasa more than 1000 kilometersAliKaplan County area. A sad tour pal that sad news, write down the advice: "military risk, life is only once."

Medical professionals, the reporter interviewed the Department of respiration and immune, they remind, due to high oxygen is thin, strong ultraviolet light, climate characteristics, chronic diseases people should not go to. Even healthy people, small cold disdain in plateau, because of the small cold also can induce serious disease, must rest, oxygen, or even stay in the hospital for observation.

��A small cold in the plateau can be deadly

According to reports, the Shanghai girl Jin Ling in micro-blog introduction describes himself as the love have nothing to do, to entertain the young woman a. In October 7th, Jin LingXinjiangKashiA youth hostel and 3 other tour pal meet, then 4 people together on the road, braving the Xinjiang-Tibet line, into the hearts of the Holy Land -- Lhasa.

In October 17th, Jin Ling line to Zhada County, Jin Ling began to have some discomfort. That night, she coughed all night, she thought it was a sore throat. In the afternoon of October 18th, Jin Ling has not improved, still have a fever, peer tour pal will take her to the hospital, with the medicine, played tuishaozhen, the doctor let her night stay in hospital for observation. But Jin Ling is not willing to, say they feel better. The morning of October 19th, Jin Ling and others on the road, but her condition is very poor, has been in oxygen. When a car's county a frontier station after two or three kilometers, Jin Ling syncope in the past, and start frothing at the mouth. Although the frontier station soldiers give first aid, but because the medical equipment Co., Jin Ling ultimately failed to back......

According to the description of reports of symptoms before Jin Ling died,GuangzhouAnalysis Department of respiration director Zhang Wei the First Affiliated Hospital of traditional Chinese Medicine University, at the beginning of a little discomfort would cause the Jin Ling died, most likely in the high altitude pulmonary edema. He explained, plateau air oxygen content is very low, the local people's body has adapted to this climate characteristics, hemoglobin in their blood up to 160 G, 200 g / L, and hemoglobin plain people was 120 g and 160 g / l.. Hemoglobin is responsible for oxygen transport, plain people beginning to plateau, is easy to appear the anoxic condition, feel shortness of breath, dyspnea, increasing the load of heart and lung. Beginning to plateau, the local temperature and the temperature difference between day and night, fatigued by a long journey, visitors easily because of reduced resistance induced by cold. Originally cardiopulmonary load increase, coupled with the cold causes edema and respiratory mucosa, which may induce high altitude pulmonary edema.

Zhang Wei suggests that, even if they are healthy people, the plateau if cold, cough and other discomfort, must not let down, to visit plan temporarily down, rest, oxygen, or even to the local hospital for observation.

����How to deal with the plateau reaction?

Most people beginning to plateau, have or light or heavy plateau reaction. Acute high altitude reaction symptoms include: headache, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, and even nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, light purple lips and facial swelling. Some people due to lack of oxygen and the emergence of drowsiness or can't sleep.

At high altitude, in no case of adaptation, don't walk fast, running. After the plane not to strenuous exercise, action slowed down. Don't be excited, jumping up and down. The day after arriving at the hotel, don't schedule outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits, adequate rest can accelerate the physiological adaptation period. In addition, not overeating, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs, not drinking and smoking, pay attention to warm, less take a shower to avoid catching a cold and exhaustion.

IfTravelingHeight of 4000 meters or more in a short period of time, with large amount of activity, the body to adapt to, if not timely diagnosis and treatment, the possible development of high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude cerebral edema, endanger life. Therefore, appear bosom frowsty, heart-throb, not timely, timely oxygen and drug therapy.

��Chronic patients had better not go toTibet

Zhang Wei remind, toTibet TourismBefore the appropriate physical examination, generally strong adapt readily to hypoxia environment, where there is a severe hypertension, heart disease, respiratory disease, patients should not be in Tibet. As compared with healthy people, their persons with underlying diseases, the compensatory ability of hypoxia in low-pressure environment is not enough, more prone to high altitude pulmonary edema.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhongshan University, Professor of Rheumatology Yang Xiuyan introduced when accepting a reporter to interview, Tibet of oxygen in the air is thin, is "negative" for many chronic patients, may induce seizures or worsen disease, is generally not recommended for chronic disease risk to Tibet. Especially Tibet, strong ultraviolet radiation, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other immune system diseases are not to. UV light is one of the important causes of lupus erythematosus, no incidence of "potential" lupus patients, may also be due to a Tibet or seaside tour, by the strong ultraviolet radiation and sudden onset.
