Plateau early prevention and treatment of acute mountain sickness
Scientists will be referred to an altitude of 3,000 meters above the plateau. Because to achieve this height above sea level, its climate characteristics (such as low oxygen pressure, hypoxia, high radiation and cold, etc.) and the plain significantly different. People living under such an environment, the body must be a series of adjustment to adapt to. Therefore, the first entered the plateau, or even resident to return to the plateau from the plains of the plateau, we must guard against in many ways the occurrence of acute mountain sickness.
One suffering from the following diseases are advised not to enter the plateau If you have never gone to plateau before entering the plateau must be strict medical examination, such as found in heart, lung, brain, liver, kidney disease, severe anemia or high blood pressure patients, do not blindly into the plateau. If you only with general illness, we must take the necessary precautionary measures in advance, such as carrying oxygen and so on.
Second, to reach the plateau should pay attention to the matter after the Arrived Plateau, everyone will feel varying degrees of chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other symptoms of hypoxia. But this does not mean you can not adapt to high altitude, if we can properly protect themselves ,5-7 days, the general can make the symptoms better or disappear. It is often promote the use of oxygen to relieve discomfort. Of course, the oxygen can temporarily lift the chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, but the cessation of oxygen, the symptoms will reappear. This will slow to adapt to the plateau time. We hold that these symptoms if you are not very serious, especially in the resting relatively minor, it is best not to oxygen, so that allows you to quickly adapt to the highland environment. Just enter the plateau, can not eat too much, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs so that it can be well adapted to this environment. Better not drinking and smoking. Want to eat vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin substances. However, we must note that if, after entering the plateau, the symptoms worsen, particularly in the resting relatively minor, it is best not to oxygen. This allows you to quickly adapt to the highland environment. Just enter the plateau, can not eat too much, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs so that it can be well adapted to this environment. Better not drinking and smoking. Want to eat vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin substances. However, we must note that if, after entering the plateau, the symptoms become heavier and heavier, especially when the rest is also very clear that oxygen should immediately and went to the hospital. Case due to "acute high altitude pulmonary edema" and result in adverse consequences. Early plateau, not a rapid walk, much less running and more can not do manual labor. Early plateau, to prevent the common cold caused by cold. Cold is acute high altitude pulmonary edema, one of the main incentives. | |
