Under the shadow of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the citizens were panicked that someone suddenly fainted on the street and did not dare to give first aid to the injured. The day before yesterday (19th), a man fainted in Tsuen Wan Plaza, vomiting blood on the ground, his lower body twitched violently, attracting passersby onlookers, but no one helped, only assisting the police for help.

A & E doctors pointed out that the vast majority of unconscious cases were caused by non-communicable diseases. Citizens should give first aid to patients so as not to miss the prime time for rescue. If you are concerned about an infectious disease, replace the artificial respiration with extracardiac pressure to maintain the patient's cardiac output.

A & E specialist Feng Xianda said that patients with infectious diseases have a less chance of sudden fainting than patients with non-infectious diseases. "Generally speaking, less infectious diseases will cause patients to faint suddenly." Inflammation, affecting blood output to the heart and causing a heartbeat, may faint on the ground and keep convulsing.

However, most cases of fainting are caused by non-communicable diseases such as heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Dr. Feng Xianda believes that if someone faints on the street, the public should lend a helping hand so as not to miss the golden time for rescue. Once the patient is found to have no breathing pulse, citizens can perform CPR; if they are worried that the patient has an infectious disease and there are not enough first-aid equipment, artificial respiration is not required. "Extracardiac pressure is sufficient to maintain cardiac output."

When the patient has a normal breathing pulse, the public should pay attention to whether there are obvious injuries on his body, and place the patient in a recovery horizontal position, that is, lying on his side with his head slightly down, to prevent his tongue from suffocating and causing suffocation, Spit out vomit.
