Pillows may cause "inhalation pneumonia" and life -threatening?See if your pillow needs to be replaced

alert! One item that everyone will use in the bedroom may make you breathing difficulty at night. After a long time, "inhalation pneumonia" may occur.

Every 100 people in each year will infect pneumonia. Pneumonia who are over 65 years of age will have a higher mortality rate, which can reach 36%, and can even reach 50%among people over 80 years old.

There are many types of pneumonia. One type of pneumonia has nothing to do with bacteria and pathogens. Most of them cause lung infection due to accidental inhalation of oral secretions or gastric content. This kind of pneumonia is collectively called inhaled pneumonia.

What is this item? How to avoid lung crisis from the bedroom?

Pillow, which makes you breathing difficulty at night, may also lead to pneumonia

The items that are likely to cause inhaled pneumonia in the bedroom are thin pillows and low pillows. Whenever we lay flat at night, people are in a relaxed state, and food and gastric acid are easy to return up. Too low or thin pillows, coupled with the relaxation state of sleep, are the most prone to hidden misuses.

The cardia is a valve between the stomach and the esophagus. After eating, the cardia is closed, which can prevent foods in the stomach from flowing back to the cauliflower. Although the age of a person and the aging organ, the diaphragm located between the chest and the abdominal cavity will become relaxed, which will cause the cardia to be closed. The cardia is not strictly closed. When lying down, the food in the stomach is easy to flow up.

When a person is sleeping, the nerve response is weakened, the vagus nerves are relatively excited, and gastric acid secretion increases. At this time, if the gastrointestinal canopy reflumes occurs, a person will cause an accidental suction. pneumonia.

The height of the pillow has a close relationship with inhalation of pneumonia, so it makes sense to worry about it! So, how high pillows can avoid inhaling pneumonia?

Choose the pillow like this, the lungs "breathe" better!

We can use our fists to make a simple measurement:

1

Pillow height is equivalent to fist height when lying on his back

2

The height of the pillow when lying on the side is equivalent to one shoulder width

3

The length of the pillow should be equal to both shoulders, and the width of the pillow is the same as the head length

Too low pillows will increase the chance of inhalation pneumonia. In addition to pillows, there are still many reasons for inhaling pneumonia. For example, children are prone to milk when they eat milk. After inhalation, fat -like pneumonia will occur, and it is also inhaled pneumonia.

The elderly and children are high incidence of inhalation pneumonia, especially the elderly, not only the incidence is also high. In addition to pillows, there is also a habit that is likely to cause inhalation pneumonia!

These bad habits are changed quickly, don't let pneumonia find you!

This habit is lying down to eat.

When people eat, they are dangerous to speak or laugh, and they may cause mistakes. If there is indeed food inhaled, you can find foreign bodies in the airway by patting the chest slices, and use the bronchial mirror to take out the foreign body through the method of tie or pliers!

If you lie down or eat half and eat, the food residue will be easily inhaled to the airway, causing inhaled pneumonia, which is easy to increase the risk of pneumonia.

Many elderly people who have decreased swallowing function need to lie down and eat, and some elderly people may have large pieces of food inhaled, which can cause sudden sound loss, difficulty breathing, or severe cough. If the inhaled things cannot be gathered in time, there is also a fatal danger.

If you must lie down and eat, you can do two things to reduce the risk of inhaling pneumonia:

1

Adopt a half -lying position from 25 degrees to 30 degrees

Medical clinical studies have shown that the half -bedroom position from 25 degrees to 30 degrees can reduce the chance of misus inhalation by 50%and reduce the chance of suffering from inhalation of pneumonia.

2

Eat mud -like food

If the elderly need to eat bed in bed, it will greatly reduce the probability of misus inhaling. In addition, it is best to rinse your mouth after eating, and you cannot lie down immediately.

There are many young people who are lying down now. Although young people have good immunity, they also need to pay special attention. In fact, sometimes swallowing can be stretched. There are a lot of bacteria in the mouth, and once the saliva containing a large amount of bacteria enters the lungs, it can easily cause inflammation!
