What should I do if I have altitude sickness? What should I do if I have altitude sickness?

Most of the working environment on the plateau is below 4000 meters, and the impact of labor capacity is 30%-50% lower than that of the plain, and attention should be paid to keeping warm to prevent acute upper respiratory tract infection. When entering the plateau at the beginning, you should eat more carbohydrates, vitamins and easily digestible foods, high-carbohydrate foods can provide equal sugars and increase the diffusion capacity of the lungs, so as to improve the body's adaptability to enter the plateau, absolutely prohibit alcohol, and it is best to take a semi-recumbent position when mountain patients fall asleep to reduce right heart venous return and pulmonary capillary congestion. The temperature difference between day and night in the plateau area is large, pay attention to heat preservation, the climate in the plateau area is dry, strengthen the care of mucous membranes and **, and prevent ** dry cracking.

The methods of prevention are: the speed of climbing and ascending should not be too fast, it is best to move at a steady pace, and cooperate with breathing, and at the same time adjust according to the steepness of the slope, so that the amount of exercise is proportional to breathing, especially to avoid rapid breathing. The height of the ascent should be gradually increased, and the height of the daily climb should be controlled to adapt to the environment of low mountain air pressure and thin air.

The itinerary should not be too urgent, sleep and diet should be sufficient and normal, take frequent short rests, use soft exercises and deep breathing to strengthen circulatory function and high adaptation during rest, and usually do more physical training to increase oxygen uptake. The reason for the formation of mountain sickness is that the higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the lower the air pressure, so the oxygen pressure required by the human body is also reduced, but the oxygen content required by the human body remains unchanged, in order to maintain the oxygen content required by the human body in the blood, it is necessary to increase the content of red blood cells, but it takes a few days for the human body to automatically increase the content of red blood cells, so when entering the mountainous area, it will be because of the sudden increase in height, the human body has no time to adapt, and the lack of oxygen in the body **, the higher the altitude, The shorter the transition time, the more intense the reaction, and this physiological response is commonly referred to as [mountain sickness]. The symptoms of mountain sickness are:

Vomiting, whining, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fever, drowsiness, severe cases will have dull sensation, restless mood, high spirits, decreased thinking, memory, hearing, sight, smell, abnormal taste, hallucinations, etc., edema, shock or spasms may also occur. First aid for mountain sickness: Oxygen administration and altitude reduction are the most effective first aid treatments, and if there is shock, priority should be given to hypothermia and other complications.

Rest immediately, move the patient to a windless area, and if the pain is severe, take analgesics to relieve the pain. If it persists, the height should be lowered until the patient is comfortable or the symptoms have significantly lessened. Generally speaking, mountain sickness patients can be cured after being lowered to flat ground.

However, serious cases still need to be taken to the hospital.

Jiuzhaigou has little impact, and you must be fully prepared to go to Huanglong Scenic Area, otherwise do not go to Huanglong Scenic Area.

Hurry up and get oxygen. However, if you drink a few bottles of Rhodiola, if you are very annoyed, it is OK to sleep again

If altitude sickness is relatively small, you can take the method of resting, drinking more water, exercising less, and resting for a period of time, the symptoms will disappear and the base will be weakened. You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness in one finger: Rhodiola rosea, Omo Blue Tablets, Weifengshan glucose liquid, etc.

Moderate oxygen inhalation for severe altitude sickness. For people with strong altitude adaptability, the symptoms of altitude sickness can be eliminated within 1-2 days, and those with weak adaptability can take 3-7 days.

Inhale oxygen, run less, don't take a bath, generally 2 or 3 days can be relieved. There will be this process.

1. Patients with mild altitude sickness are manifested as palpitation, palpitations, poor breathing, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

2. Patients with severe altitude sickness, severe cerebral hypoxia changes, and even mental changes, coma, shock and severe cardiopulmonary damage, high-altitude acute pulmonary edema, significant difficulty in breathing and inhaling the exhalation belt, and even life-threatening, should be inhaled oxygen in time, evacuated from the plateau as soon as possible, and sent to the hospital in time for emergency cardiotonic, diluctant, and oxygen inhalation symptomatic support**.

3. For people who enter the plateau for the first time, they must gradually rise from the low altitude, minimize unnecessary activities, let the body have a gradual adaptation process, and try to minimize bathing to prevent colds.

The first is to wait, slowly wait until you adapt to the plateau climate and there is no response, this method is painful and takes a long time, and you can try it with a slight high reaction.

The second way is to take anti-high anti-reactive drugs, which is good. This method is faster and safer.

Before entering the plateau, you can make some preparations to reduce the chance of altitude sickness, and the only way to get altitude sickness is to go to the doctor.

Drinking more will regulate metabolism to reduce the chance of altitude sickness, and it will be better if you have glucose. Eating more vitamin-rich foods can improve immunity, and don't exercise too much when you go to highlands.

1. Altitude sickness is a variety of pathological reactions produced by the human body after rapid exposure to a low-pressure and low-oxygen environment, which is unique to the plateau area.

Second, when the altitude generally reaches about 2700 meters, there will be altitude sickness, so the probability of altitude sickness in high-altitude areas by plane is greater than that of taking a car, because there is a time to slowly adapt by car, and taking a plane is a time to quickly enter the plateau, and there is no time to adapt.

3. Symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness and chest pain, acute altitude sickness patients with acute altitude sickness such as worsening dry cough, headache, dyspnea or cyanosis, a small number of fulminant patients show extreme dyspnea, irritability or trance, and cough up a large amount of pink foamy sputum.

4. Psychologically: Maintain a good attitude, don't be afraid, good psychological quality is the best panacea to combat altitude sickness.

5. Physically: You can prepare a series of drugs that are helpful to high anti-high, rhodiola rosea, glucose powder, etc.

6. It is recommended that you take more rest in the first 2 days before you arrive in the plateau area, move slowly, do not exercise vigorously, take more than 1 liter of drinking water every day to keep your body hydrated, and take glucose every day according to the amount of exercise to maintain sufficient physical strength.

7. The oxygen content in the plateau area is low, it is recommended to prohibit smoking and alcohol, try not to bathe, and pay attention to keeping warm if bathing, so as not to cause a cold.

We wish you a pleasant trip!

Going to Xinjiang generally does not cause altitude sickness.

The vast majority of Xinjiang is not a plateau, and tourists rarely suffer from altitude sickness, so there is no need to worry about it. Classic scenic spots such as Tianchi, Kanas, Turpan, Ili grassland and other places in northern Xinjiang are not high in altitude and there is no problem. Places with a little bit of altitude, such as Lake Selim, are not much of a problem as long as they don't exercise excessively.

The relatively high altitude is the Pamir Plateau in the west, where there are few scenic spots and the environment is relatively harsh, so it is not recommended to take the elderly to go. Finally, if you take a car from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang, you may cross the Tianshan Mountains, and the altitude of the mountain pass on the way can reach more than 4,000 at most, but because you only pass by car, there are very few people who have altitude sickness.

The right way to deal with altitude sickness

1.Oxygen inhalation: When altitude sickness occurs in the plateau area, you can carry an oxygen cylinder with you, and when you feel unwell, you can inhale oxygen by yourself to improve the oxygen content in the body, which can effectively alleviate altitude sickness.

2.Pay attention to rest: When you have altitude sickness, the first thing to do is to get a good rest. Don't feel like you don't need rest if you're not tired. Be sure to get enough sleep to allow your body to adapt.

3.Don't exercise: In highland areas, it's best to sit and rest, don't get excited to move around, and don't do heavy physical labor. Walk and talk as slowly as possible, keep your mind steady, and don't get too excited.

4.Keep warm: Wear more clothes, as the temperature in the highlands usually varies greatly between day and night. Be sure to keep yourself warm.

1. For patients with altitude sickness, it is appropriate to supplement the glucose components in the body by eating chocolate, and it can activate brain cells and relieve certain symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and dyspnea. Please touch the rent.

2. If the patient's altitude sickness is relatively severe, it is necessary to carry out timely symptomatic treatment, usually give intensive oxygen inhalation**, and let the patient lie flat to reduce all activities, and increase the amount of oxygen inhaled to ensure oxygen flow.

3. Patients can be given intravenous infusion, and 5% glucose injection or normal saline injection can be given.

4. If severe altitude sickness is accompanied by headache, you can take aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen appropriately, and if the patient has obvious nausea and vomiting, you can inject prochlorperazine and other drugs into the muscle.
