What are the emergency self-rescues for travel emergencies?

Angina pectoris

Those with a history of angina pectoris should carry emergency medicine with them when traveling. If angina pectoris occurs, first let the patient sit up without moving, and quickly give symptomatic tablets such as nitroglycerin tablets or Jiuxindan under the tongue to relieve the condition.

Cardiogenic Asthma

Traveling and fatigue often induce cardiogenic asthma. The patient should first take a semi-recumbent position, and use cloth straps to tie three of the limbs in turn, changing them every 5 minutes, which can effectively reduce the amount of blood returned to the heart, reduce the burden on the heart, and relieve symptoms.

Bronchial Asthma

People with a history of asthma should prepare Chuankangsu and other medicines when traveling, because flowers and plants in tourist attractions may induce asthma. Once an asthma attack occurs, you should immediately spray Chuankangsu on the throat, which is usually effective.

Biliary colic

If you consume too much high-fat food during travel, it is easy to induce acute biliary colic. When the disease occurs, the patient should lie down and quickly apply a hot water bottle to the right upper abdomen. You can also use your thumb to press and stimulate the Zusanli point to relieve pain.

Acute gastroenteritis

Acute gastroenteritis is easily caused by unclean food or drinking water during the journey. If vomiting, diarrhea, and severe abdominal pain occur, you can take drugs such as furazolin, berberine, or norfloxacin orally, or crush garlic and take it.

Joint sprains

After a joint is accidentally sprained, do not rub or massage it immediately. You should immediately apply cold water or ice to the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce swelling. Then tie the sprained area tightly with a handkerchief or bandage to minimize movement.

Sudden fainting

Do not move the patient randomly. You should lie down on the spot with your head tilted to one side, loosen the belt and collar button, and observe changes in pulse and breathing. If the breathing and pulse are normal, you can use your thumb to stimulate the Renzhong point to revive him; if breathing stops, mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration and external chest heart compression should be used immediately for first aid.

Acute pancreatitis

Some people suffer from acute pancreatitis due to overeating and drinking while traveling, which manifests as severe pain in the upper abdomen, accompanied by vomiting, profuse sweating, and pale complexion. .

Drinking should be strictly prohibited after onset of illness
