The old man with a sudden chest tightness and syncope of the old man.

Wuhan Evening News August 2 (Reporter Qi Yan Correspondent Liu Shanshan) The old man's calf was so painful that he massaged and applied his legs by himself. I did not expect that this action almost harmed himself.

Grandpa Li, who lives in Hankou, is 72 years old. He always sits and does not like sports. Recently, he found that the calf was a bit swollen. In order to be swollen as soon as possible, he massaged at home and applied hot towels every day. Unexpectedly, after a few days, his legs not only had no swelling, but also always dull. Last week, he was rubbing his legs again, suddenly breathing difficulties, fainting straight to the ground, and was rushed to Wuhan Central Hospital for rescue by his family.

When admission was admitted, Grandpa Li was in a difficulties, blood oxygen saturation was only 80%, and blood pressure was shock. After examination, the doctor found that his legs had thrombosis and highly suspected of pulmonary embolism. Sure enough, the CTA examination of the pulmonary arterial artery indicates that the bilateral pulmonary arteries are formed in a large amount of thrombosis. The ultimate diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb, and a large area of ​​pulmonary embolism caused by thrombosis. Due to the dangerous condition, Grandpa Li will be in danger at any time.

Vascular surgeons in Wuhan Central Hospital are performing surgery for patients.

He Tao, director of the vascular surgery of the hospital, quickly organized medical staff to perform emergency pulmonary arterial thrombosis for Grandpa Li. Through the ducts of thrombosis, the thrombus quickly broke and sucked out. After surgery, Grandpa Li's blood oxygen saturation gradually increased, and his life signs tended to be stable.

Recalling the scene of the onset of the day, Grandpa Li still had a lot of heart: "I usually have a good body, how can I suddenly appear in pulmonary embolism?"

"Usually sit for a long time, and the lower limbs are prone to deep venous thrombosis, and the movement of massage not only cannot reduce the swelling of the leg, but under the action of stress, it will accelerate the loosening and falling off of the thrombus." He Tao explained that because the blood vessels of the lungs are compared with the comparison of the blood vessels of the lungs Thin, when the thrombus "walks" with the blood, if the pulmonary artery is blocked, it will cause fatal pulmonary embolism, which can be severe life. Every year, the hospital encounters cases of blind massage that causes pulmonary embolism like this.

In daily life, people with leg pain and leg swelling habits massage legs. They believe that this can enhance blood circulation and reduce swelling, but there are many causes of leg swelling. Do not blindly massage. First of all, you should consider whether it is deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. If it is formed by thrombosis, avoid severe exercise, pay special attention not to massage and slap the lower limbs at will, so as to avoid the thrombosis from falling off.

Experts remind that those who have been sitting for a long time, long -term bed, elderly people, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obese people, pregnant women, etc. are all high -risk groups of pulmonary embolism. Pay special attention in life to avoid maintaining the same fixed posture for a long time , Appropriate exercise, control weight. If an unknown leg swelling occurs, you must not care about it, and go to the hospital to find out the cause in time.
